Lyrics

Did I miss the mark

Expressing doubt or questioning if the speaker failed to achieve a goal or expectation.

Have I let you down enough

Reflecting on whether the speaker has disappointed or betrayed someone sufficiently.

Was it worth all that I have lost?

Questioning the value of the sacrifices made and losses incurred in a given situation.


Lost affections with no pardon

Acknowledging the loss of affection without receiving forgiveness.

All for the sake of my own sanity

Stating that the speaker sacrificed relationships for the sake of personal well-being.


I’m a fucking wreck

Expressing a sense of personal turmoil and emotional distress.


The years go by and I barely noticed

Noticing the passage of time without being fully aware of its impact.

The way I left you so broken hearted

Regretting the manner in which the speaker left someone emotionally wounded.

If you could ever forgive the selfish wretch I’ve been

Seeking forgiveness for the selfish actions and behaviors exhibited.

Save me a place at the end

Asking to be remembered or reserved a place at the end, possibly implying hope for reconciliation.

Somewhere that we can mend

Desiring a space where healing and reconciliation can take place.


My life’s forever changed

Acknowledging a significant and lasting change in the speaker's life.

For better or worse

Reflecting on changes that could be positive or negative, emphasizing their incomprehensibility to others.

In a way that you could never understand

Expressing the difficulty of understanding the speaker's experiences and emotions.

A life with no passion is one I’ll avoid

Rejecting a life devoid of passion, indicating a desire for meaningful experiences.

Until the day that my lungs give out

Committing to avoiding a passionless life until the speaker's last breath.


I never meant to hurt you

Admitting unintentional harm caused to someone.

And now I live with this aching chest

Living with the consequences, represented by physical pain in the chest.

Every single day of my fucking life

Expressing the enduring impact of the unintended harm on the speaker's daily life.


I never meant to hurt you

Reiterating the unintentional harm caused to someone.

Now I live with this aching chest

Continuing to live with the consequences and emotional burden.

Have I let you down enough?

Repeating the question of whether the speaker has disappointed or let someone down enough.
