The Friend I Should Have Been
Regrets Unveiled: A Reflection on Missed Friendship Opportunities
Lyrics
One moment gone
Reflecting on a past moment that has passed
A chance I had
An opportunity that was present
To tell you the truth
Regret about not expressing the truth
Now it's too late
Realization that it's now too late
There's no turning back
No possibility of reversing the consequences
From this grave
A metaphorical grave surrounding the person
That surrounds you
Feeling trapped or confined by circumstances
I wish I was brave
Desire to possess courage
I wish I was not afraid
Wishing to overcome fear
Of being rejected
Fear of rejection hindering action
For standing up
Desire to stand up for what is real
For what is real
Emphasis on authenticity and truth
All those times
Reflecting on missed opportunities
I had chances
Recognition of past chances
All those times
Repeated acknowledgment of missed opportunities
I wish I could get back
Expressing the desire to undo past mistakes
Now it's too late for me to be
Feeling it's too late to change
The friend I'm suppost to be
A realization of not being the friend one should be
The friend I should have been
Regret for not fulfilling the role of a good friend
I wish I could go back
Expressing a wish to go back in time
I wish I told you the truth
Desire to have been truthful about something important
He bled and died for you
Reference to a sacrifice for the listener's benefit
I wish I was a better friend
Expressing the wish to have been a better friend overall
