Guilty as Sin
Love's Betrayal: Unraveling the Tale of Guilt in Lucy Kaplansky's Melody
Lyrics
Guilty as sin
Feeling guilty, likely for some wrongdoing.
I know where you've been
Aware of the other person's past actions or experiences.
Guess she was alone last night
Suspecting that the person was alone the previous night.
You took what you want
The person took what they desired, and now it's gone.
Now it's all gone
All that was taken is now depleted or lost.
I was just another free ride
Expressing a feeling of being used, like a free ride.
And I just needed something
Expressing a need for something, even if it's minimal.
Really next to nothing
Desiring something that is almost insignificant.
And all I've got is another one
Having another experience that won't be fulfilling or lasting.
That won't be mine
Realizing that the experience won't become a lasting possession.
As if we never kissed
Reflecting on a past kiss as if it never happened.
You cross another off your list
Removing someone from a list, perhaps romantically.
But I know where you've been
Reiterating knowledge of the person's actions or whereabouts.
I know where you've been
Reaffirming knowledge of the person's actions or whereabouts.
Guilty as sin
Reiterating the feeling of guilt.
In that motel not so far away
Referring to a specific motel where an event occurred.
You said there's so much you couldn't say
Acknowledging that there were things left unsaid.
Then you went and told me anyway
Despite claiming inability to express, the person shared anyway.
My new red shoes under the rented bed
Personal belongings under a bed that was not one's own.
Stolen kisses are sweet you said
Stolen moments or affection described as sweet.
And I bought that tired line again
Falling for a familiar but worn-out line once more.
Do you know how it feels to be second best?
Questioning the feeling of being second-best in a relationship.
Nothing more and so much less
Feeling inadequate and undervalued.
I wanna be the one who wins and turns away
Expressing a desire to be the one who rejects and moves on.
As if we never kissed
Reflecting on past kisses as if they never occurred.
You cross another off your list
Removing another person from a list of romantic interests.
But I know where you've been
Reaffirming knowledge of the person's actions or whereabouts.
I know where you've been
Reiterating knowledge of the person's actions or whereabouts.
Guilty as sin
Reiterating the feeling of guilt.
You found something in me
Finding something in each other that wasn't valuable.
And I found something in you
Mutually discovering something of little worth.
It wasn't worth very much
Acknowledging the lack of value in the discovered qualities.
That's one thing that is true
Highlighting the presence of empty promises and lies.
Just promises and lies
Emphasizing the prevalence of promises and lies.
Promises and lies
Reiterating the presence of promises and lies.
As if we never kissed
Reflecting on past kisses as if they never occurred.
You cross another off your list
Removing another person from a list of romantic interests.
But I know where you've been
Reaffirming knowledge of the person's actions or whereabouts.
I know where you've been
Reiterating knowledge of the person's actions or whereabouts.
Guilty as sin
Reiterating the feeling of guilt.
