What I said when I was drunk

Lyrics
Were you angry on the night I said I loved you?
Expressing uncertainty about the emotions of the recipient when the speaker confessed love while intoxicated.
Did you hate me?
Inquiring whether the recipient harbored resentment or dislike as a result of the intoxicated expression of love.
I know I should've said something else
Acknowledging a realization that a different statement should have been made.
(Should've said it, Should've said it)
Reflecting on the missed opportunity to express an alternative message.
I know I should've said someone else
Expressing regret for not mentioning someone else instead during the intoxicated confession.
(Should've said it, Should've said it)
Reiterating the regret for not choosing a different person in the intoxicated state.
But you know I would've changed the topic

If I wasn't such an alcoholic, honestly
Admitting the impact of alcoholism on behavior and communication.
It was a catastrophe cleaning up the chaos

And the chaos is me
Symbolically associating chaos with the speaker's identity.
And I wish the world would have just been honest
Expressing a desire for honesty from the world in dealing with the consequences of the intoxicated confession.
Picked up, held it for a while, and dropped it

If I could go back and redo my past
Expressing a hypothetical desire to go back in time and change the intoxicated expression.
I would give it up for one last wish

I would give it up for one last gift

I would give it up to clean up all this mess

Give it up

Give it up

-Can you see me fixating on a concept? On an inkling?

And would you ever choose my love?

And would it ever be enough?

Cause I would give it up for one last wish
