Lyrics
Why live a life full of regrets

While blinded by your ignorance
Highlighting the impact of ignorance, suggesting a lack of awareness.
No one knows
Emphasizing the mystery and secrecy surrounding someone's actions.
She chose the road of negligence
Describing a decision made with negligence and disregard.
And battles with her hopelessness
Depicting ongoing struggles with hopelessness.
She still doesn’t know
Expressing a lack of awareness or understanding in the person.
All she believes is that
Stating a belief, though unspecified, held by the person.
There’s no relief to her world of pain
Describing a perception of unrelenting pain in the person's world.
Sheltered inside her own prison of lies
Being confined within a self-created prison of lies.
To protect her from the rain
Using lies as a shield to protect against emotional pain (rain).
Try to help but she says no
Attempts to help are rejected by the person.
Listen to your friend who knows
Encouraging the person to listen to a friend who has knowledge.
I thought I was her anchor in
Believing to be a stabilizing force in the person's life.
The raging sea of bad influence
Describing a challenging environment of negative influences.
But she didn’t know
Realizing the person was unaware of the support.
She shout denied and shifted blame
Person denies and shifts blame, possibly avoiding responsibility.
And shot me down to win her game
Being harmed in the person's pursuit of winning a personal "game."
And told me to go

I didn’t know she’d already let go
Discovering the person had already emotionally detached.
Til she left me here
Realizing the person has left, leaving the narrator behind.
Thought I knew how to shield her from the clouds
Believed the ability to shield the person from difficulties.
But she disappeared

Waiting to lead you home
Waiting to guide the person back home, symbolizing support.
I am your friend who knows
Reiterating the role of being a knowledgeable and caring friend.
How did I turn from friend to foe
Reflecting on the transformation from a friend to perceived adversary.
I don’t know
Expressing confusion and lack of understanding about the change.
