Lyrics
So you've lost yourself in dark, dark places
Reflecting on being lost in difficult and obscure situations.
Beggin', runnin', crossin' bridges that you've burned before
Describing the struggle of seeking forgiveness and rebuilding after past mistakes.
Now you want back into my good graces, oh
Expressing a desire to regain favor or trust.
Wouldn't you know
Highlighting the irony of the situation.
Don't it hurt, don't it sting, don't you feel just like me?
Asking if the pain and regret are felt similarly.
Don't forget love of mine that I tried
Reminding of the effort invested in the relationship.
And I know I've been cruel but I learned it from you
Acknowledging past cruelty learned from the other person.
I was there on the other side
Recalling being on the receiving end of a challenging situation.
The other side
Emphasizing the contrast of being on the "other side" of the relationship.
The other side
Repeating the theme of being on a different, challenging side.
Ain't it cold on the other side?
Commenting on the difficulty of the situation on the other side.
The other side
Reiterating the idea of facing challenges on the opposite side.
The other side
Repeating the notion of being on the challenging side.
Now it's you on the other side
Pointing out that the other person is now experiencing difficulties.
Ain't it funny how when tables turn?
Reflecting on the irony of role reversal.
You're feelin' bitter, baby, but you should've thought about it
Addressing regret for not considering consequences earlier.
Once the fire's out you can't make it burn again
Stating that once a connection is lost, it can't be easily restored.
You're payin' for it, and you're hatin'
Highlighting the consequences of past actions.
How it hurts, how it stings, how you feel just like me
Describing the shared pain and sting of the situation.
Don't forget love of mine that I tried
Reiterating the effort and love invested in the relationship.
And I know that I'm cruel, but I learned that from you
Acknowledging learned cruelty from the other person.
I was there on the other side
Recalling a past experience of being on the challenging side.
The other side
Repeating the theme of being on a different, challenging side.
The other side
Reiterating the idea of facing challenges on the opposite side.
Ain't it cold on the other side (ain't no goin' back)
Emphasizing the harshness of the other side with a sense of finality.
The other side
Repeating the notion of being on the challenging side.
The other side
Pointing out that the other person is now experiencing difficulties.
Now it's you on the other side (God willin')
Indicating a turn of events where the other person faces challenges.
And you're hatin'
Reiterating the negative emotions associated with the situation.
How it hurts, how it stings, how you feel just like me
Describing the shared pain and sting of the situation.
Don't forget love of mine that I tried
Reiterating the effort and love invested in the relationship.
And I know that I'm cruel, but I learned that from you
Acknowledging learned cruelty from the other person.
I was there on the other side
Recalling a past experience of being on the challenging side.
(Ain't no goin' back )
Repeating the harsh reality that there's no turning back.
The other side
Reiterating the theme of being on a different, challenging side.
The other side (ain't no goin' back)
Emphasizing the difficulty of returning to the past.
Ain't it cold on the other side? (Ain't no goin' back)
Stating the cold and irreversible nature of the other side.
The other side
Repeating the notion of being on the challenging side.
The other side (ain't no goin' back)
Emphasizing the difficulty of returning to the past.
Now it's you on the other side (God willin')
Indicating a turn of events where the other person faces challenges, possibly with a sense of fate.
