Last Year's Guilt
Letting Go: A Poignant Reflection on Love, Loss, and Self-Redemption
Lyrics
I'm letting go of last year's guilt
I am releasing the burden of guilt from the events of the previous year.
Your Dad left a gap I could never fill
Your father's absence has left a void that I can never replace or fill.
Maybe your ex did too much damage
It's possible that your previous partner caused significant harm or emotional damage.
I could not lift you from your sadness
I was unable to lift you out of the sadness or emotional pain you were experiencing.
So, I'm letting go of last year's guilt
Reiterating the decision to let go of guilt associated with the past year.
So obvious now, how low you had been
It is now clear how emotionally low you had been during that time.
I slept at your house, I could never unsee
I stayed at your place, and what I witnessed cannot be forgotten or erased from my memory.
Just a mattress on the floor and you had money
Despite having money, you lived in a minimalistic way with just a mattress on the floor.
The plastic still on like you were saving it for something
The plastic still on the mattress suggests it was preserved for something special.
Obvious now, how low you had been
Reiteration of the realization of your emotional low point during that period.
But I want to remember
Expressing a desire to remember positive qualities about the person.
How you were so kind and clever
Reflecting on the person's kindness and intelligence.
The comfort when I kissed you
Recalling the comfort experienced when sharing intimate moments like kissing.
And why I still miss you
Acknowledging the lingering feelings of missing the person.
So, I'm getting rid of last year's guilt
Reaffirming the decision to discard any guilt associated with the past year.
You hated yourself, but I never will
Despite your self-hatred, I will not harbor negative feelings towards you.
Every weekend we spent together, I will remember forever
Memories of every weekend spent together will be cherished and remembered forever.
But I'm getting rid of last year's guilt
Final emphasis on letting go of guilt associated with the events of the previous year.
