Things I Already Know
Regretful Echoes: Unraveling Heartache in 'Things I Already Know'
Lyrics
I wish I didn't hurt so bad
I regret the intense emotional pain I'm feeling.
What I said now I regret
I feel remorse for what I said.
I wish I could take it all back
I wish I could undo everything I've said or done.
I'd eat crow because I made you sad
I'd humble myself because my actions caused your sadness.
I try to find the reasons whey we can't
I attempt to understand why we can't shut out the world as we once did.
Lock the world outside again
We struggle to keep the outside world away.
Like used to do (oh)
Recalling past moments when we successfully shut out the world.
If I could find the words to make it right
If I could express myself effectively.
I wouldn't spend another sleepless night
I wouldn't endure another night of sleeplessness.
Going over the things I already know
Reflecting on past knowledge instead of moving forward.
Wide awake in a bed of a rented room
I am fully conscious in a temporary living space.
My heart sank because I knew you knew
My heart sank because I realized you were aware of something.
Tears swelled up betrayal in your eyes
Tears welled up, revealing your sense of betrayal.
I looked away cause I didn't want to lie
I avoided eye contact because I didn't want to be dishonest.
I try to find the reasons whey we can't
We attempt to understand why we can't shut out the world as we once did.
Lock the world outside again
Struggling to maintain a barrier against the external world.
Like used to do (oh)
Reflecting on past moments when we successfully shut out the world.
If I could find the words to make it right
If I could express myself effectively.
I wouldn't spend another sleepless night
I wouldn't endure another night of sleeplessness.
Going over the things I already know
Reflecting on past knowledge instead of moving forward.
All the love you gave
Appreciating the love you gave.
Showed me that way it was meant to be
Your love showed me the proper way relationships should be.
Truly in love
We were genuinely in love.
All the memories the times
Recalling various shared experiences.
The laughs the goodbyes
(No specific content in this line)
The first of your life
Remembering the first significant moments in your life.
The fears I can't hide
There are fears that I cannot conceal.
I'll always cherish our time
I will always cherish the time we spent together.
I try to find the reasons whey we can't
We attempt to understand why we can't shut out the world as we once did.
Lock the world outside again
Struggling to maintain a barrier against the external world.
Like used to do (oh)
Reflecting on past moments when we successfully shut out the world.
If I never find the words to make it right
If I never find the right words to express myself.
I'll spend another sleepless night
I'll endure another night of sleeplessness.
Going over the things I already know
Reflecting on past knowledge instead of moving forward.
You think I'd already know
You might expect that I should have already learned from my experiences.
