Undone
Unraveling Love: Bonnie Raitt's Undone Echoes the Cost of Regret
Lyrics
There's a sword at the tip of my tongue
There's an intense feeling or thought that I can't hold back.
It shows no mercy on the latest one
The intensity of my emotions or words doesn't spare anyone, especially the most recent person involved.
And I was wrong with all my might
I strongly believed something incorrect.
I took you out in one last round tonight
I brought an end to our relationship or interaction definitively tonight.
Now there's no more shouting and no more tears
There's no longer any arguing or crying.
Just the fatal words ringing in our ears
The hurtful words spoken linger in our minds.
And in the silence it's crystal clear
Amidst the quiet, it's very evident.
There's no undoing what has happened here
The consequences of what occurred can't be reversed.
We've come undone, we've come undone
We're falling apart, disintegrating.
Battle waged, nothing won
We fought hard but gained nothing.
Oh, what have I done? The blood has run
I'm filled with regret and guilt as the damage is done.
Some things can't be undone
Some actions or events can't be changed.
We hurt the ones we love the most
We unintentionally harm those we care deeply about.
A thousand memories go up in smoke
Many cherished memories are lost.
And in the morning when the ashes fall
When everything is destroyed, no words can repair it.
There'll be no need for any words at all
There won't be any need to talk or explain in the aftermath.
We've come undone, we've come undone
Our situation is falling apart, breaking down.
Battle waged, nothing won
Despite the conflict, no one emerges as the winner.
Oh, what have I done? The blood has run
Remorse floods in as the damage is irreversible.
Some things can't be undone
Some things can't be changed or taken back.
There's no joy in victory
There's no happiness in winning when it means your own downfall.
When it comes at your defeat
Success that leads to personal loss is not fulfilling.
Oh, we've come undone, Lord, what have I done?
We're falling apart, and I regret my actions deeply.
Some things can't be undone
Some things are irreversible, unable to be rectified.
Oh, some things can't be undone
There are certain actions or events that cannot be changed or undone.
