Divided
Divided Hearts: A Ballad of Betrayal
Lyrics
Just one more lesson learned
Expressing the acquisition of another lesson through experience.
Thinking you ever cared
Doubting the sincerity of the care previously shown.
Just one more bridge you burned
Referencing another relationship breakdown caused by the other party.
But next time I won’t be there
Declaring the decision not to return in similar situations in the future.
I hope you find the answers
Wishing the person finds solutions independently.
I can’t stay to help you guess
Expressing an inability to remain to assist in solving their problems.
I gave my all and you just gave regrets
Contrasting personal effort and commitment with receiving only remorse from the other party.
I shoulda shot first in every fight
Regretting not being more assertive or proactive in conflicts.
Something you never really minded
Implying indifference from the other party towards certain actions or behaviors.
Acting like everything’s one sided
Criticizing the other party for displaying a biased perspective.
Proving you wrong and you deny it
Accusing the other party of refuting evidence when proven wrong.
and now we’re divided
Highlighting the current state of being separated or divided.
Always respected you
Previously held admiration or regard for the individual.
This is how I’m repaid
Expressing disillusionment and betrayal after investing trust.
Stuck out my neck for you
Metaphorically describing being hurt by the other person's actions.
Into the your ice cold blade
Metaphorically referring to being hurt or betrayed.
I never was the person that
Disassociating from the expectation imposed by the other party.
You wanted me to be
Rejecting the notion of conforming to someone else's desires.
To validate your insecurities
Stating that the other person sought validation through actions or behaviors.
You thought that you could change me
Belief that the other person aimed to alter one's character.
And I thought that you would change
Initial belief in the potential transformation of the other person.
I was keeping us together at the cost of all this pain
Realization of maintaining the relationship at the expense of personal suffering.
I was trying to say I’m sorry
Attempt to apologize despite being harmed by the other person.
While my blood was on your hands
Indicating the other person's responsibility for causing harm or pain.
I just don’t think you fully understand
Feeling that the other person lacks complete comprehension of the situation.
