Guilty
Embracing Forbidden Love: Billie Holiday's "Guilty
Lyrics
Is it a sin
Questioning the morality of actions or feelings.
Is it a crime
Questioning if the emotions are socially unacceptable or forbidden.
Loving you dear like I do?
Expressing deep love and devotion.
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Acceptance of guilt if loving is considered a crime.
Guilty of loving you
Acknowledging guilt for the act of loving someone.
Maybe I'm wrong dreaming of you
Admitting the possibility of being mistaken while dreaming about the person.
Dreaming the lonely night through
Spending sleepless nights dreaming about the person.
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Accepting guilt for the act of dreaming about the person.
Guilty of dreaming of you
Acknowledging guilt for the persistent dreams about the person.
What can I do
Expressing helplessness in the situation.
What can I say
Reflecting on the inability to change or explain the situation.
After I've taken the blame?
Accepting responsibility for any consequences.
You say you're through
Indicating the end of a relationship from the partner's perspective.
You'll go your way
Stating that the singer will remain emotionally unchanged.
But I'll always feel just the same
Expressing continued feelings despite the partner's decision.
Maybe I'm right
Considering the possibility of being right in the love for the person.
Maybe I'm wrong
Considering the possibility of being wrong in the love for the person.
Loving you dear like I do
Reiterating deep affection for the person.
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Accepting guilt if loving is considered a crime.
Guilty of loving you
Acknowledging guilt for the act of loving someone.
What can I do
Reflecting on the inability to change or explain the situation.
What can I say
Reiterating the difficulty in expressing or altering the circumstances.
After I've taken the blame?
Accepting responsibility for any consequences.
You say you're through
Indicating the end of a relationship from the partner's perspective.
You'll go your way
Stating that the singer will remain emotionally unchanged.
But I'll always feel just the same
Expressing continued feelings despite the partner's decision.
Maybe I'm right
Considering the possibility of being right in the love for the person.
Maybe I'm wrong
Considering the possibility of being wrong in the love for the person.
Loving you dear like I do
Reiterating deep affection for the person.
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Accepting guilt if loving is considered a crime.
Guilty of loving you
Acknowledging guilt for the act of loving someone.
