I'm Guilty
Embracing Love's Complicity
Lyrics
Whenever I get down
Expressing a low emotional state
I look to someone else
Turning to someone else for support or comfort
I need your love to bring me 'round
Dependent on the love of another to lift spirits
And so I must confess
Acknowledging a need to confess something
I'm guilty
Admitting guilt in a situation
Of believing you to be
Believing the addressed person to be a better version of oneself
The better part of me
Viewing the addressed person as a positive influence
I never thought to look around
Not considering alternatives due to trust
In times when more is less
Overlooking potential negative aspects during difficult times
I'm guilty
Reiterating the feeling of guilt
Guilty of lovin' you
Expressing guilt specifically related to love
'Cause I need you
Affirming a need for the addressed person
Yes and I want you
Desiring and appreciating the addressed person
You know you always bring me through
Acknowledging the supportive nature of the addressed person
I'm guilty
Repeating the admission of guilt
And if you want to know
Addressing a disappointment
You really let me down
Feeling let down by the addressed person
But I won't never let you go
Commitment to not abandoning the addressed person
There's something in my heart keeps sayin'
Inner voice acknowledging the addressed person's guilt
There's something in my heart that's sayin'
Repetition of inner conflict regarding guilt
You're guilty of lovin' too
Attributing guilt to the addressed person as well
And you need me
Highlighting the mutual need in the relationship
Yes and you want me
Expressing reciprocal desire and appreciation
And I won't never let you down
Reaffirming commitment to not disappointing the addressed person
There's something in my heart keeps sayin'
Reiteration of inner conflict regarding guilt
There's something in my heart that's sayin'
Repetition of the inner voice acknowledging guilt
You're guilty of lovin' too
Attributing guilt to the addressed person again
I'm guilty
Final admission of personal guilt
