She's Writin' Songs
Melodies of Regret: Jackson Wendell's Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I hate I had to leave her like no gentleman should do
I regret leaving her in an ungentlemanly manner.
I know God ain't forgiving me anytime soon
I believe God won't forgive me soon for my actions.
But I broke too many strings on this guitar
I've broken too many metaphorical strings on my guitar writing songs about my struggles.
Writing songs about my blues
The songs are about the pain she caused me.
And the hell she put me through
Expressing the difficulty and turmoil caused by the girl.
That girl is moving on, she's writing songs
She is moving on with her life and expressing herself through songwriting.
She liked all of the music that I played at my shows
She enjoyed the music I played at shows.
She liked all of the songs that she probably thought I wrote
She liked the songs, perhaps thinking they were about her.
About the other girls before her
Implying I wrote songs about previous relationships.
Should I tell her, well that was a lie To keep that voice inside
Considering whether to confess the truth about the songs.
Well that voice is singing along, she's writing songs
Her internal voice is joining the songwriting process.
Well I'm sorry to return the favor, sending feelings back to you
Apologizing for reciprocating negative feelings.
Don't mind me just trying to give credit where it's due
Acknowledging the attempt to give credit where it's due.
I should probably say I'm sorry, but you deserve everything gone wrong
Expressing reluctance to apologize, implying she deserves her troubles.
Oh, I'm glad you're gone If she's anything like me, I guarantee
Glad she's gone, suggesting the ex-girlfriend is like the singer, writing songs about the breakup.
She's writing songs
Reiterating her involvement in songwriting as a form of coping.
She puts the blame on me since she never came home
Blaming the singer for her absence, leading to her drinking alone.
Now all thanks to me, she's drinking alone
The singer feels responsible for her current state.
Straight out of the bottle, I know it burns
She's resorting to drinking straight from the bottle, acknowledging the pain.
But I hope you learned how the tables have turned
Expressing hope that she learns from the situation.
She's right where she belongs, she's writing songs
She is in a place she deserves, writing songs about her own experiences.
Well I'm sorry to return the favor, sending feelings back to you
Continuing the theme of returning negative feelings.
Don't mind me just trying to give credit where it's due
Reiterating the attempt to give credit where it's due.
I should probably say I'm sorry, but you
Resisting the urge to apologize, implying deserved consequences.
Deserve everything gone wrong Oh, I'm glad you're gone
Expressing satisfaction with her absence, suggesting she deserved it.
If she's anything like me, I guarantee
Believing she's similar to the singer, expressing through songwriting.
She's picking on some guitar while her friends are out at bars
Imagining her playing the guitar while friends are out, highlighting her dedication.
She's writing down the lyrics on the side of her arm
She's actively writing down lyrics on her arm as a form of expression.
Somewhere in a church where she can't put out the fuse
Choosing a place (church) where emotions are restrained, but the fuse can't be put out.
Now you've seen the other point of view
The singer wants her to understand his perspective.
Well I'm sorry to return the favor, sending feelings back to you
Continuing the theme of reciprocating negative feelings.
Don't mind me just trying to give credit where it's due
Reiterating the attempt to give credit where it's due.
I should probably say I'm sorry, but you deserve everything gone wrong
Resisting the urge to apologize, reinforcing the idea of deserved consequences.
If she's anything like me, I guarantee
Believing she, like the singer, expresses herself through songwriting.
What she is ain't what she wants to be
Her current state is not what she aspires to be.
It's not a curse, it's not a blessing She's writing songs
Clarifying that her situation is neither a curse nor a blessing; it's just her way of coping.
She's writing songs
Reiteration of her active involvement in writing songs.
She's writing songs
Confirmation of her continuous engagement in songwriting.
