Guilty Love
Guilty Love: Embracing Shadows of Unspoken Longing
Lyrics
You are in my blood and I can't cleanse you out
You are deeply ingrained in my thoughts, and I cannot rid myself of your presence.
I can't flush you down, I'd go bankrupt to the wishing well
I cannot erase you from my mind, and I am willing to sacrifice financially to express my desires.
Words evade my brain like a criminal chase
Expressing my feelings is difficult; words elude my mind like a pursued criminal.
And everything I want to say gets washed away
My attempts to convey my thoughts are futile, as everything I want to say disappears or is ignored.
And I don't even hate you, but I probably should
Despite not harboring hatred, it seems appropriate, but I refrain from admitting it.
Oh I can't say I miss you like I usually would
I can't claim to miss you as I typically would, indicating a struggle with emotions.
I just feel guilty love
I experience a love tinged with guilt, suggesting conflicting emotions.
In spite of it all
Despite challenges, this feeling persists.
Oh I mourn the loss of what never was
I grieve for something that never existed in reality.
Can't help but think about what maybe I could've done
Contemplating the possibilities of what actions could have altered the outcome.
Traces of you lie so carefully strewn, colors bleeding through
Remnants of your influence are delicately scattered, with emotions bleeding through.
I toss and turn in a blend of you
Restless thoughts and emotions intertwine, creating a mixture of you.
Whispers in my ears from broken souvenirs
Whispers in my ears originate from shattered mementos, possibly haunting me.
Oh I swear, I swear they come to life at night
The broken souvenirs seem to come to life during the night, intensifying the emotional impact.
And I don't even hate you, but I probably should
Reiterating the absence of hatred despite an internal struggle.
Oh I can't say I miss you like I usually would
Expressing difficulty in admitting a conventional longing for the person.
I just feel guilty love
Continuation of a love accompanied by guilt, acknowledging internal conflict.
In spite of it all
Despite challenges, this conflicting love persists.
Oh I mourn the loss of what never was
Grieving for a nonexistent reality persists.
Can't help but think about what maybe I could've done
Reflecting on potential actions that might have changed the outcome.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda
Repetition of "Woulda, shoulda, coulda" emphasizes regret and contemplation of alternative choices.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda
-Woulda, shoulda, coulda
-Woulda, shoulda, coulda
-Woulda, shoulda, coulda
-Woulda, shoulda, coulda
-Woulda, shoulda, coulda
-Woulda, shoulda, coulda
-Guilty love
Reiteration of the theme of love accompanied by guilt.
In spite of it all
Persistence of conflicting emotions despite adversities.
Hey, hey yeah-ah I mourn the loss of what never was
Expressing mourning for a nonexistent reality.
Can't help but think about what maybe I could've done
Continued reflection on potential alternative actions.
Can't help but think about what maybe I coulda done
Repetition of contemplating potential actions and their impact.
Maybe I coulda done, oh no no no
Emphasizing the weight of contemplating past actions and their consequences.
Oh can't help but think about what maybe I coulda done
Reiteration of the struggle in contemplating what could have been done differently.
Maybe I coulda done
Repetition of acknowledging the possibility of different actions.
Oh maybe I, maybe I, maybe I coulda done
Continued reflection on the potential actions that might have changed the course of events.
Oh maybe I, maybe I, maybe I coulda done
-Oh maybe I, maybe I
-Maybe I coulda
Reiteration of contemplating the possibility of different actions and their impact.
