I Ain't Bad
Redemption's Echo: Billy Tomas' Reflection on Mistakes
Lyrics
Got my pockets full with memories
Reflecting on past experiences and emotions stored in memories.
All the things that we have done
Recalling shared experiences and activities.
And the reason that I’m saying this
Expressing feelings due to the fear of a significant other being absent.
Cause I’m afraid that your long gone
Concern about the possible departure of a loved one.
We make mistakes we try we fall and learn
Acknowledging mistakes made in relationships, emphasizing the learning process.
But nothings harder when the trust is burned
Highlighting the difficulty when trust is broken and the challenges it brings.
The blame is mine but you know I ain’t bad
Accepting responsibility for mistakes but asserting that the intentions are not inherently bad.
There’s just to many things that I regret
Expressing regret for numerous things in the past.
I ain’t bad but I’ll be better
Asserting a commitment to self-improvement despite past errors.
Even though my friends say let her
Acknowledging conflicting advice from friends regarding the relationship.
Just remember what I said
Encouraging the partner to recall the speaker's words.
Baby you know I ain’t bad
Reiterating the claim of not being inherently bad.
They say it’s for the best to take some time
Accepting the necessity of time apart for the well-being of both parties.
Time’s my enemy when your not mine
Expressing the difficulty of coping with time away from the loved one.
I’m trying hard but you know I ain’t bad
Trying earnestly to improve despite past shortcomings.
There’s just so many things I should’ve said
Expressing regret for unspoken words and missed opportunities.
I ain’t bad but I’ll be better
Committing to personal growth despite conflicting advice.
Even though my friends say let her
Acknowledging the difficulty of deciding whether to let go, as advised by friends.
Just remember what I said
Reiterating the importance of remembering the speaker's words.
Baby you know I ain’t bad
Asserting the non-malicious nature despite past choices.
And the choices that I made
Reflecting on choices made, realizing they were mistakes.
Turn out to be a mistake
Expressing regret for taking a loved one for granted.
Took for granted all we had
Recognizing the value of the past relationship.
Baby you know I ain’t bad
Reasserting the claim of not being inherently bad.
I ain’t bad but I’ll be better
Committing to personal improvement despite past actions.
Even though my friends say let her
Acknowledging conflicting advice from friends regarding the relationship.
Just remember what I said
Reiterating the importance of remembering the speaker's words.
Baby you know I ain’t bad
Emphasizing the non-malicious nature despite past choices.
I ain’t bad but I’ll be better
Committing to personal growth despite conflicting advice.
Even though my friends say let her
Acknowledging the difficulty of deciding whether to let go, as advised by friends.
Just remember what I said
Reiterating the importance of remembering the speaker's words.
Baby you know I ain’t bad
Asserting the non-malicious nature despite past choices.
Just remember what I said
Stressing the importance of recalling the speaker's words.
Baby you know I ain't bad
Final assertion of the speaker's non-malicious nature despite past actions.
