Someone You Can Count On
Regretful Redemption: A Tale of Broken Trust and Second Chances
Lyrics
I know that there's nothing I can say
The speaker understands that their words cannot mend the emotional wounds.
That can heal the scars and I get it
Acknowledgment that the scars caused won't easily heal.
If you need to take flight, I'm not gonna argue
The speaker respects the other person's need to distance themselves.
It's obvious that I just don't deserve you
The speaker feels unworthy of the other person due to their actions.
You gave me your heart and I dropped it
The other person entrusted their heart to the speaker, but the speaker mishandled it.
You gave me your trust and I broke it
The trust given by the other person was broken by the speaker.
I wish I could rewind and change what I did
Desire to alter past actions to rectify mistakes.
But the damage is done and I'm so out of it
The consequences of the speaker's actions have already taken their toll.
You deserve someone you can count on
Acknowledgment that the other person deserves a reliable partner.
Someone with a spine, cause I have none
The speaker lacks strength of character compared to what the other person deserves.
I'm so sorry I can't be what you want me to be
Expressing remorse for not meeting the other person's expectations.
It's my fault, all my fault
Accepting responsibility for the situation.
I keep fucking everything up, stay away from me
The speaker feels they consistently ruin things and warns the other person to stay away.
I'm a fuck up, such a fuck up
Self-deprecating admission of being a failure.
And it's not like it was the first time
Admitting that disappointing the other person wasn't a singular occurrence.
That I let you down at the worst time
Repeatedly failing the other person during critical moments.
When you were down when you needed me to
Not being present or supportive when needed the most.
Just stick around I just vanished on you
Vanishing or abandoning the other person when they needed support.
You gave me your heart and I dropped it
Reiteration of mishandling the trust and heart given by the other person.
You gave me your trust and I broke it
Continued regret for breaking the trust.
I wish I could rewind and change what I did
Desire to change past actions once more.
But the damage is done and I'm so out of it
Realization that the consequences are irreversible.
You deserve someone you can count on
Reiterating the other person's deserving of a dependable partner.
Someone with a spine, cause I have none
Comparing the speaker's lack of reliability to what the other person deserves.
I'm so sorry I can't be what you want me to be
Expressing regret for not meeting the other person's expectations.
It's my fault, all my fault
Repeatedly taking blame for the situation.
I keep fucking everything up, stay away from me
Feeling like a consistent failure and warning the other person to stay away.
I'm a fuck up, such a fuck up
Reiterating their self-perceived failure.
Every time you needed me for something
Agreeing to help but failing to follow through.
I said yeah sure no problem
Acknowledging their own irresponsibility and unavailability when needed.
And then you'd find me wasted in a gutter
Admitting to being in a state of self-destruction despite commitments.
I'm so sorry I can't be what you want me to be
Reiterating remorse for not meeting expectations.
It's my fault, all my fault
Continued acceptance of responsibility for the situation.
I keep fucking everything up, stay away from me
Reiterating a consistent pattern of failure and warning the other person to stay away.
I'm a fuck up, such a fuck up
Reiterating their self-perceived failure.
Stay away from me
Requesting the other person to keep their distance due to the speaker's self-destructive nature.
I'm a fuck up, such a fuck up
Reiterating their self-perceived failure.
You gave me your love and I lost it
Admitting to losing the love given by the other person.
I'm a deadweight can't you see it
Describing themselves as a burden that cannot be lifted.
Every time I fall you pick me up
Acknowledging the other person's consistent support despite the speaker's failures.
Anyone in your place would have given up
Acknowledgment that most people would have given up in the other person's place due to the speaker's shortcomings.
I'm a fuck up, such a fuck up
Reiterating their self-perceived failure.
