Lyrics

I was busy picking up the pieces of my broken heart

I am dealing with the aftermath of a broken heart.

I stand accused and maybe, on reflection, got a little cruel

I am accused, and upon reflection, I acknowledge being somewhat harsh.

I was too brash for you, I moved too fast, perhaps a little rude

I was too bold, moved too quickly, and may have been a bit impolite.

I know I was a jerk and impolite, I was loud

I recognize that I behaved poorly, was loud, and impolite.

Which one of my two wolves will I give my attention to tonight?

Contemplating which aspect of myself (represented as wolves) to focus on tonight.

Which one will I decide to feed? Which one will I decide to fight?

Deciding whether to nurture or confront a specific aspect of my personality.

I was impulsive, I confess, talked a lot behind your back

Admitting to impulsiveness and gossiping behind someone's back.

I was judgemental, played too cool, I was not so nice

Being judgmental, playing it cool, and not being very nice.
