still got me
Capturing Regret and Redemption: 'Still Got Me' by Sean Doherty
Lyrics
I hope you're not mad my favorite band was yours first
I hope you're not upset that the band I currently like used to be your favorite.
I hope you're not mad that I was the worst, and yeah I was the worst
I hope you're not upset that I behaved poorly, acknowledging my mistakes.
I hope you're not mad that I'm writing this song
I hope you're not upset that I am expressing my feelings through this song.
Oh, I hope you're not mad that it's been so long
I hope you're not upset that a considerable amount of time has passed since we last interacted.
Cause you still got me
Despite everything, you still have a place in my life.
You still got me
Reiteration that the person still holds significance in the singer's life.
And I never wanna see your face again
Expressing a desire to avoid encountering the person again.
If it means you'll hate me in the end
Willing to accept the person's hatred if it leads to their departure from the singer's life.
But I hope at least you'll stay for this drink
Despite the difficulties, hoping the person will join for a drink.
Oh you still got me
Reiteration of the person's continued significance in the singer's life.
I hope you still know my favorite place to sit in this bar
Hoping the person still remembers specific details about the singer.
I hope you still know every day I wonder how you are
Expressing ongoing concern for the person's well-being.
Oh I hope that you know that I've come so far
Highlighting personal growth and progress since the past.
Cause you still got me
Emphasizing the enduring connection the person holds in the singer's life.
Oh you still got me
Reiteration of the enduring connection between the singer and the person.
And I never wanna break your heart again
Expressing a desire not to hurt the person again.
If it means you'll hate me in the end
Willing to accept hatred if it means avoiding further harm to the person.
But I hope at least you'll stay for this drink
Hoping the person will at least share a drink despite the challenges.
Oh you still got me
Reiteration of the enduring connection despite difficulties.
Cause I can't see you at a party and just go home
Expressing difficulty in moving on when encountering the person at social events.
I can't tell myself I'm better off on my own
Acknowledging the struggle to convince oneself of being better off alone.
I can't throw away the shirt you left on my floor
Unable to discard reminders of the person, like a shirt left behind.
But most of all
Stating the most significant challenge is being unable to avoid seeing the person.
I can't not see you anymore
Reiteration of the difficulty in not seeing the person anymore.
Cause you still got me
Despite challenges, the person continues to have a place in the singer's life.
Oh you still got me
Reiteration of the enduring connection and significance the person holds.
