My Bad
Regrets and Unspoken Longings
Lyrics
So strange to sit with you
Expressing the unusual feeling of sitting with someone
Making small talk like strangers do
Engaging in casual conversation as strangers typically do
When I remember the way you move
Recalling the memory of the person's distinctive movements
I remember, I do
Acknowledging the recollection of the past
You'd crawl into my bed
Reflecting on intimate moments when the person was close
And you would kiss my neck
Detailing a specific intimate gesture - kissing the neck
And now, we're just friends
Describing a shift from a romantic relationship to friendship
But what a lie if I never said
Highlighting the potential falsehood in being just friends
If I'm not careful, I could kiss you
Recognizing the temptation to rekindle romantic feelings
Get drunk, admit I miss you
Acknowledging the possibility of expressing missed emotions under the influence
My bad, my mistake
Admitting fault or regret for a previous decision
I said "go" when I wished you'd stay
Regretting asking the person to leave when the desire was for them to stay
I guess it's just too late now
Expressing a sense of irreversible change in the relationship
I hate the way it turned out
Expressing dissatisfaction with the way things turned out
My bad, my mistake,
Reiterating regret or fault
I said "go" when I wished you'd stay
Repeating the wish that the person had stayed
I needed to find myself, collect my mental health
Justifying the need to focus on personal well-being
But you know me so well
Acknowledging the person's understanding of the situation
It was just an excuse, you could tell
Admitting that the excuse used was transparent
I was unprepared
Confessing to being unprepared for the impact of the relationship
I met you, then I got scared of how much you made me care
Explaining the fear or anxiety triggered by emotional involvement
It's my fault, I'm aware
Taking responsibility for the situation
If I'm not careful, I could kiss you
Reiterating the temptation to kiss the person
Get drunk, admit I miss you
Recognizing the potential for expressing missed emotions under the influence
My bad, my mistake
Reiterating fault or regret
I said "go" when I wished you'd stay
Repeating the wish that the person had stayed
I guess it's just too late now
Expressing a sense of irreversible change in the relationship
I hate the way it turned out
Expressing dissatisfaction with the way things turned out
My bad, my mistake,
Reiterating regret or fault
I said "go" when I wished you'd stay
Repeating the wish that the person had stayed
It might be even cruel to ask you if you want to try again
Contemplating the potential cruelty of suggesting a reconciliation
The things I said and put you through
Reflecting on hurtful actions and their impact on the person
Just to take it back and then
Apologizing for retracting previous statements
Ask you questions that could only put you in a hard position
Acknowledging the difficulty created by asking challenging questions
If I'm right about your answers
Expressing concern about the potential answers to the questions
I'll try and hold my feelings back
Committing to controlling emotions despite the difficulty
But what a lie if I never said that
Highlighting potential dishonesty in suppressing feelings
If I'm not careful, I could kiss you
Recognizing the temptation to rekindle romantic feelings
Get drunk, admit I miss you
Acknowledging the possibility of expressing missed emotions under the influence
My bad, that's on me
Taking responsibility for the current situation
I can't let you be
Expressing an inability to let the person back into their life
I guess it's just too late now
Expressing dissatisfaction with the way things turned out
I hate the way it turned out
Reiterating regret or fault
My bad, my mistake,
Repeating the wish that the person had stayed
I said "go" when I wished you'd stay
Expressing fault or regret for a previous decision
My bad, that's my mistake
Acknowledging responsibility for the situation
I said "go" when I wished you'd stay
Repeating the wish
