Mistakes
Redemption in Mistakes: A Heartfelt Journey of Self-Reflection
Lyrics
The last thing I recall, the sun and the snow
Reflecting on a past memory involving the sun and snow.
Your fingers felt so cold
Describing the sensation of cold fingers.
You warmed them in my hands as the daylight faded
Intimacy and warmth shared as daylight fades.
It feels so long ago, where are we now?
Questioning the present moment compared to the past.
I don’t know how
Expressing uncertainty about the current state.
But I can almost feel all my intentions failing
Feeling a sense of failure and the imminent collapse of intentions.
Let’s pretend that we
Suggesting a desire to pretend or create a false reality.
Can stop this faking
Acknowledging the act of pretending or faking.
Hold me like you need me
Requesting emotional support and connection.
Hold me like the world is ending
Seeking comfort as if facing the end of the world.
Watching your eyes well up from what I’ve put you through
Observing emotional pain reflected in the partner's eyes.
You carry the weight, believing you’re supposed to
Noting the partner carrying a burden, possibly undeserved.
Meaningless words, I’ve seen them scar and bruise
Recognizing the impact of meaningless words on others.
I don’t mean to hurt you, I don’t mean to hurt you
Expressing regret for causing harm unintentionally.
But I always do
Acknowledging a pattern of causing pain despite good intentions.
If I could only stop being so insecure
Desiring to overcome personal insecurities for the relationship.
Making my affliction yours
Transferring personal struggles to affect the partner.
The screaming in my head, so loud I feel it caving
Describing internal turmoil loudly impacting thoughts.
Please let me recant and start over now
Expressing a wish to retract previous actions and start anew.
I don’t know how
Reiterating the struggle with intentions and potential failure.
But I can almost feel all my intentions failing
Suggesting a continuation of the struggle with authenticity.
Let’s pretend that we
Proposing the idea of stopping the pretense.
Can stop this faking
Re-emphasizing the desire to end the act of faking.
Hold me like you need me
Reiterating the plea for emotional closeness and support.
Hold me like the world is ending
Invoking a sense of urgency, as if time is running out.
Watching your eyes well up from what I’ve put you through
Observing the partner's emotional response to the speaker's actions.
You carry the weight, believing you’re supposed to
Highlighting the partner's perceived duty to carry emotional weight.
Meaningless words, I’ve seen them rip right through
Acknowledging the destructive power of words.
I don’t mean to hurt you, I don’t mean to hurt you
Repeating the apology for unintentional harm.
But I always do
Recognizing a recurring pattern of causing pain despite intentions.
