That's My Bad
Love's Rollercoaster: Navigating Regret and Growth
Lyrics
If it was up to me in my mind right now
Expressing a desire to have made a different decision at the time.
I woulda let you go
Wishing to have let the person go earlier.
Sooner than i did
Regret for not letting go sooner.
But i'm such a kid
Recognizing immaturity as a reason for actions.
Cause loving you was always rad
Acknowledging that the love was great.
Better than i'd had
Indicating it was the best love experienced.
I keep putting touch over time
Valuing physical contact over the duration of the relationship.
Every time that's my bad
Accepting responsibility for repeating mistakes.
That's my bad
Reiterating accountability for past actions or decisions.
That's my bad
-That's my bad
-That's my bad
-Arguments every time our pants on
Conflicts arise when clothes are on.
So romantic every time our pants off
Contrasting romantic moments when clothes are off.
Over work on our body language
Focusing on non-verbal communication.
Then i get the green like a text from samsung
Getting confirmation or validation, likened to a text notification.
Couldn't talk about how i felt i had trauma that i didn't know existed
Realizing past trauma only after being alone.
Ever since i've been alone i've been working on me while i'm chasing digits
Self-improvement while chasing material success.
Every holidays got me witnessing parts of parents that are very me-ish
Observing parental traits within oneself during holidays.
Took me leaving you to see it
Recognizing personal flaws only after leaving the relationship.
Had to breathe fire just to be a phoenix
Having to undergo hardship to reinvent oneself.
Her legs shookie that's my brand
Attributing a physical reaction (shook legs) to one's personal brand.
Broke her heart that's my bad
Acknowledging responsibility for causing heartbreak.
Drove her to those dead leaves
Metaphorically leaving someone in a desolate state.
Then i took off for that flight
Departing abruptly, indicating fault.
That's my bad
Reiterating responsibility for the abrupt departure.
That's my bad
-That's my bad
-That's my bad
-That's my bad
Repeating acknowledgment of fault.
I just got something to get off my chest
Expressing the need to confess and release emotions.
I split it open unzipper my breathe
-Crippling feels like i'm trippling down
-I give you some and i owe you the rest and it's always the same
-I'm in the hallway i can't get it away
-I'm just like everything i run on gasoline
-You gotta pay i'm on my i'm on my way
-Cause loving you was always rad
Repeating the pattern of prioritizing physical contact over emotional investment.
Better than i'd had
-I keep putting touch over time
-Every time that's my bad
-That's my bad
Continuing to accept blame for actions.
That's my bad
-That's my bad
-That's my bad
-If it was up to me in my mind right now
Repeating the desire to have acted differently.
I woulda let you know
Wanting to have communicated feelings earlier.
Sooner than i did
Expressing regret for delayed communication due to immaturity.
But i was just a kid
Attributing immaturity as a reason for past actions.
Cause loving you was always rad
Reaffirming the greatness of the love and the repeated mistakes made.
Better than i'd had
-I keep putting touch over time
-Every time that's my bad
-That's my bad
Continued acceptance of responsibility for past actions.
That's my bad
-That's my bad
-That's my bad
-For me it was always time to go
Stating a belief that leaving was always the right choice.
Back when my brain was a bicycle
Comparing past mindset to being unaware of danger.
Black ice we weren't sliding slow
Indicating a lack of caution led to problems.
Feeling grounded now that i'm alone
Feeling more stable or grounded being alone now.
For me it was always time to go
Reiterating the belief that leaving was the right decision.
Back when my brain was a bicycle
Repeating the analogy of past mindset to being unaware of danger.
Black ice we weren't sliding slow
Reiterating that lack of caution caused issues in the past.
Feeling grounded now that i'm alone
Feeling more stable or grounded being alone now.
