The First I Will Regret
Revenge Unveiled: The First Sting of Regret
Lyrics
Is it me or is it you?
Questioning whether the issue is personal or shared.
Was I too sweet or you too cruel?
Reflecting on the balance of sweetness and cruelty in the relationship.
Like a carpet on the floor I was something to step on
Comparing oneself to a carpet, feeling stepped on and used.
Made sure your feet stayed warm
Acknowledging the effort to provide comfort despite feeling used.
When I recover I want my revenge
Expressing a desire for revenge after recovery.
With a well-planned attack with no defense
Planning a strategic retaliation without vulnerability.
When I look back, it's making no sense
Reflecting on the confusing nature of the past.
How you made me neglect my self-respect
Regretting the neglect of self-respect in the relationship.
You were mean and I was used
Describing the partner as mean and the speaker as used.
You were pleased and I was so fooled
Highlighting the partner's satisfaction and the speaker's deception.
Like a bedside lamp you shone just as long as you were turned on
Comparing the partner to a bedside lamp, shining only when needed.
And darkness when you were off
Referring to darkness when the partner is not present.
When I recover I want my revenge
Reiterating the desire for revenge after recovery.
With a well-planned attack with no defense
Emphasizing a planned retaliation without vulnerability.
When I look back, it's making no sense
Expressing confusion when reflecting on the past.
How you made me neglect my self-respect
Acknowledging the neglect of self-respect in retrospect.
Neglect my self-respect
Repeating the self-neglect due to the partner's influence.
Such power you possessed
Acknowledging the partner's significant influence and power.
When I recover I want my revenge
Reiterating the desire for revenge after recovery.
With a well-planned attack with no defense
Planning a strategic retaliation without vulnerability.
When you look back, you will have regrets
Suggesting the partner will regret their actions when reflecting.
And say you're sorry, it's the least I do expect
Expecting an apology from the partner as the minimum response.
The least I do expect
Reiterating the expectation of an apology.
Is not to urge another try
Expressing a reluctance to give the relationship another try.
I've been damaged as long as I remember you, but, this time
Acknowledging the lasting damage caused by the partner.
I've been honest and long to be held in your arms, this was
Desiring honesty and the comfort of the partner's embrace.
The last I did expect
Unexpectedly experiencing regret for the first time.
And the first I will regret
Anticipating regret for the initial decision to engage in the relationship.
