Is It Too Late
Broken Inside: Navigating Regret and Redemption in Mariah Counts' Melodic Journey
Lyrics
I'm on an empty road to
I am in a state of isolation or loneliness on a path.
Can't find the way to hold you
I struggle to find the right approach to keep you close.
Feelings they have changed
Emotions have undergone a transformation.
I'm on my way to tell you
I am headed your way to communicate something important.
Can't find the words to use
Expressing my feelings becomes challenging.
What am I gonna do
Feeling uncertain about how to handle the situation.
Cuz all the things you said
Your words constantly occupy my thoughts.
Well they run through my head
Recalling and pondering over the things you've said.
I think of all the good times
Reflecting on the positive experiences we shared.
That we shared
Recollection of enjoyable moments in our relationship.
And all the things you said
Your words linger in my mind, replaying repeatedly.
Well they run through my head
Continued contemplation of your statements.
I think of all the shitty things I did
Regretting past actions and mistakes.
Is it too late
Pondering if it's too late to rectify the situation.
To face the truth that
Questioning the possibility of acknowledging a painful truth.
I'm broken inside
Admitting an internal brokenness or emotional pain.
It's too late
Sensing that the opportunity for change has passed.
To turn back around
Realizing it's not feasible to reverse course.
There's two ways
Recognizing two potential paths to repair the situation.
To fix it up now
The options are to start anew or let go of the past.
We start over
Suggesting a fresh beginning to overcome challenges.
Or just let it go
Alternatively, considering the option to move on.
Where did we go wrong
Reflecting on the point of divergence in the relationship.
Somewhere in the song
The disconnection occurred somewhere within a shared experience.
We lost touch
Acknowledging a loss of connection or understanding.
And you can't say that you tried
Expressing skepticism about your efforts to reconcile.
We all know that's a lie
Doubting the sincerity of the attempts made.
So did I
Admitting that I, too, have doubts and uncertainties.
Cuz all the things you said
Reiterating the impact of your words on my thoughts.
Well they run through my head
Recalling positive memories from our shared experiences.
I think of all the good times that we shared
Reflecting on the joyous times we once had together.
And all the things you said
Replaying your statements and their impact on me.
Well they run through my head
Continuing to grapple with the echoes of your words.
I think of all the shitty things I did
Acknowledging and regretting past negative actions.
Is it too late
Questioning whether it's too late to address the issues.
To face the truth that
Facing the difficult truth about internal emotional turmoil.
I'm broken inside
Admitting to being emotionally wounded or damaged.
It's too late
Accepting that reversing the situation is no longer possible.
To turn back around
Acknowledging the impossibility of turning back.
There's two ways
Identifying two potential ways to address the situation.
To fix it up now
The options are to initiate a fresh start or let go entirely.
We start over
Considering the possibility of rebuilding from the beginning.
Or just let it go
Alternatively, contemplating the choice to release and move on.
I'm on an empty road to
Expressing a sense of loneliness or emptiness on a path.
Can't find the way to hold you
Struggling to find a way to hold onto you.
