Love's Echo: Reflecting on Twelve Steps in the Smoky Embrace
Lyrics
Said something cruel, I can't say I quite regret it
Said something cruel, expressing remorse for uttering hurtful words.
Twelve steps into the smoking bar, I found you
Twelve steps into the smoking bar, I found you; discovering someone in a specific setting.
Clothes engulfed in a bonfire I begged you to my room
Clothes engulfed in a bonfire I begged you to my room; a metaphorical description of intense emotions and a desire for intimacy.
Begging still, all these years
Begging still, all these years; a continued plea or emotional struggle over time.
Oh, looking back, how did I keep moving?

Didn't know that half of me was missing
Didn't know that half of me was missing; realization of a personal void or incompleteness.
It's easy to leave, easy to leave
It's easy to leave, easy to leave; highlighting the simplicity of ending a relationship.
So tell me, "I can't blame you

We let love run its course and it's a little bit lonelier

I don't blame you

It's just our love ran its course and that's a little bit hard"
It's just our love ran its course, and that's a little bit hard; acknowledging the difficulty in accepting the end of a relationship.
Oh, looking back, wasn't a thing to keep me
Oh, looking back, wasn't a thing to keep me; reflecting on the absence of something substantial in the past.
From running around in the wreckage that burned all season
From running around in the wreckage that burned all season; engaging in chaotic or destructive behavior in the aftermath of a failed relationship.
It was easy to leave, you'd finally seen me
It was easy to leave, you'd finally seen me; suggesting a sense of liberation when being noticed or recognized.
Now tell me, "I can't blame you

It's just that love ran its course and it's a little bit lonelier
It's just that love ran its course, and it's a little bit lonelier; reiterating the emotional impact of a fading love.

He's one that you wanted, singin' scenes from a restaurant

It's just our love ran its course and it's a love that's long gone"
