Lyrics
You felt good tonight
You experienced a positive feeling tonight.
Something's different but yet the same
There's a sense of change, yet similarities exist.
Your brown eyes
Refers to the color of your eyes.
Brush against mine
Close physical contact between our eyes.
It's not sweet
It's not a pleasant or joyful parting.
It's a sour bye
The departure feels bitter or unpleasant.
Can't you see I'm trying hard
I'm making an effort to prevent your decline.
To stop you spiraling down the staircase
Stopping you from going down a destructive path.
I can't be your guard
I cannot protect you entirely.
Just know I told you
Assurance that a warning was given about potential harm.
That you would get some scars
Your actions might result in emotional wounds.
I can't be
I cannot fulfill your desired image of me.
Who you wanted
I cannot deliver what I promised.
I can't give
Realization of unmet expectations.
What I promised
Understanding of what you desired.
Now you see
Now you comprehend what was sought.
What you wanted
Attempting to escape.
Trying to flee
Struggling amidst difficult circumstances.
Through the black water
Metaphorically navigating through hardships or challenges.
You were bad that night
You behaved poorly during that particular evening.
Yeah you said you just wanted fun
You expressed a desire for enjoyment without responsibility.
I tried to take a bite
I attempted to engage, but regret set in swiftly.
But it came over me quickly
Feeling overwhelmed by the situation.
And I couldn't take the sight
Unable to handle what was seen.
Don't try to downplay the last time
Don't minimize the seriousness of your previous commitment.
That you said you'd stop doing this
A reminder of a promise to change behavior.
Because now I know that I'm
Realization that efforts are one-sided.
The only one putting into this one-sided
The sole contributor in this relationship or situation.
Can't you see how much I've put into you
An acknowledgment of significant investment in the relationship.
Just to fall away so easily
Disappointment at the ease of falling apart.
Fallen into a blue
Descended into sadness or depression.
I haven't recognized you that much recently
A lack of recognition in the person's current state.
I can't be
Unable to match the idealized version.
Who you wanted
Falling short of fulfilling promises made.
I can't give
Recognition of what was initially desired.
What I promised
Not being able to deliver what was assured.
Now you see
Realization of initial desires.
What you wanted
Attempting to escape a difficult situation.
Trying to flee
Struggling through challenges symbolized by "black water."
Through the black water
