Aftermath
Apologies Unveiled: Navigating the Fallout of Bravado
Lyrics
Everything happened so fast
Events transpired rapidly.
I couldn’t stop the collapse
I was unable to prevent the collapse.
Couldn’t stop the whole facade from coming down
Couldn't prevent the complete breakdown.
I poured the gas and lit the match
Started a destructive process.
I thought that we would just laugh
Expected a positive response, but it didn't happen.
I wasn’t good enough to make it work somehow
Felt inadequate in making things succeed.
Every leap of bravado just ends in the same way
Repeated bold actions end similarly.
Stumbling and dealing with the aftermath today
Struggling with the consequences today.
And all I want to tell you now is I’m sorry that I let you down
Expressing regret for disappointing you.
After everything I hope that I can find the words to say
Seeking words to convey regret after everything that happened.
Full of bitterness and spite
Feeling resentful and hostile.
Lash out again tonight
Reacting negatively again tonight.
So oblivious to what I had become
Unaware of personal deterioration.
Muddled brain burning so fast
Mentally overwhelmed and deteriorating rapidly.
How I know this can’t last
Realizing the unsustainability of the situation.
But I’m not able to stop what I’ve begun
Unable to halt the initiated actions.
Every leap of bravado just ends in the same way
Recurring displays of bravery ending similarly.
Stumbling and dealing with the aftermath today
Struggling with the consequences today.
And all I want to tell you now is I’m sorry that I let you down
Expressing regret for disappointing you.
After everything I hope that I can find the words to say
Seeking words to convey regret after everything that happened.
Driven to hopelessly lash out
Compelled to react aggressively.
Somehow I thought you would be proud
Thought I would receive approval from you.
Dealing with all of the weight now
Dealing with the burden of consequences now.
Now that I've been exposed in front of all my heroes
Exposed in front of admired figures.
I feel far but I'm so close
Feeling distant yet near.
And it’s all for me
Self-centered actions.
I need for you to care
Desire for your concern.
Is it true? What I fear?
Questioning if my fears are valid.
That there was never even something there?
Doubting if anything meaningful existed.
Every leap of bravado just ends in the same way
Repeated displays of bravery leading to similar outcomes.
Stumbling and dealing with the aftermath today
Struggling with the consequences today.
And all I want to tell you now is I’m sorry that I let you down
Expressing regret for disappointing you.
After everything I hope that I can find the words to say
Seeking words to convey regret after everything that happened.
'cause all I want to tell you now is I’m sorry that I let you down
Expressing remorse for letting you down.
After everything I hope that I can find the words to say
Seeking words to convey regret after everything that happened.
