Lyrics

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it

The speaker felt remorseful but was powerless to change the situation.

Nothing I could do to make it go away

They couldn't find a way to resolve or alleviate the feeling of guilt or regret.

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do to change it

Despite feeling bad, the speaker couldn't alter or influence the circumstances causing their distress.

Nothing I could do to make things change

They were unable to affect any change or improvement in the situation.


This is my shame

The speaker identifies that the feeling of shame is deeply personal and inherent to themselves.

This is my shame

Reiterating the ownership and acknowledgment of the shame they feel.


I felt bad but I kept trying to kid myself about it

Despite feeling bad, the speaker attempted to deceive themselves about the situation.

Trying to convince myself it was an honest mistake

They tried to persuade themselves that the mistake was unintentional or excusable.

I felt bad but what's done is done

The speaker acknowledges the irrevocable nature of their actions or circumstances.

Only one thing remains

There's only one unresolved consequence or aspect remaining from the situation.


This is my shame

Restating that the feeling of shame is personal and inescapable.

This is my shame

Reiterating the personal ownership of the feeling of shame.


I know your mad at me

Understanding that someone else is angry with the speaker.

I know you wanna cut my throat

Perceiving the other person's intense anger, expressing a desire for revenge or harm.

I know you think I think it's all a joke

Recognizing a misconception that the other person believes the speaker views the situation as a joke.

I don't, I don't

Denying the belief that they see the situation lightly.


This is my shame

Reasserting that the feeling of shame solely belongs to the speaker.

This is my shame

Emphasizing the personal nature of the shame once again.


I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it

Similar to the initial lines, feeling regretful but lacking the power to change the situation.

Nothing I could do to make it go away

Reiterating the inability to alleviate the feeling of guilt or regret.

I felt woke up and thought everything is gonna be alright

Feeling a momentary sense of hope or reassurance that things will improve.

Everything is gonna be ok

Expressing a belief or hope that everything will eventually be fine.


Then it hit me

A sudden realization or understanding of a troubling truth or reality.

Like a wave

Describing the impact of this sudden realization, using the metaphor of a powerful and overwhelming force.

Then it hit me

Repeating the impact of the sudden realization, emphasizing its intensity.

Like a wave

Stressing the forceful and overwhelming nature of the realization once more.


This is my shame

Reiterating the personal and inescapable nature of the shame felt by the speaker.

This is my shame

Restating the personal ownership and acknowledgment of the shame.
