Collapse
Lament of Lost Opportunities
Lyrics
I would take it all away
I regretfully wish to undo everything.
All the damage and the pain
Expressing remorse for the harm and suffering caused.
Everything I put on you
Acknowledging responsibility for placing burdens on someone.
Nothing I say can make a change
Realizing words alone cannot bring about a positive change.
I wish this would go away
Desiring the troubles to disappear.
Disgusted in myself
Feeling deep disappointment and shame in oneself.
Left you alone when you needed help
Regret for abandoning someone in need.
I left you alone when you needed help
Reiterating the regret for not providing assistance when required.
I turned my back on you
Admitting to turning away and abandoning the person.
Picturesque forms of loss
Referring to beautiful but painful experiences of losing.
Afraid if this feeling goes
Fearing the loss of a particular emotion or connection.
I'll have nothing left to hold
Expressing concern about having nothing meaningful left.
I'll have nothing left to hold
Repeating the fear of losing everything.
I never gave my all for you
Acknowledging not giving one's full effort in the past.
Now I have your fall from me
Experiencing the consequences of the other person's downfall.
I can't see past this grief
Feeling overwhelmed by grief, unable to see beyond it.
Dragging days with no relief
Dragging through difficult days without relief.
Worn out and bitter
Being worn out and resentful.
Hopeless, off kilter
Describing a sense of hopelessness and imbalance.
Never to be free of all this regret
Expressing the difficulty of freeing oneself from regret.
Rooted in my brain I will not forget
Stating that memories are deeply ingrained and unforgettable.
Picturesque forms of loss
Reiterating the theme of picturesque yet painful loss.
Afraid if this feeling goes
Repeating the fear of losing a particular feeling.
I'll have nothing left to hold
Expressing concern about having nothing meaningful left (repeated).
I'll have nothing left to hold
Repeating the fear of losing everything (repeated).
I never gave my all for you
Acknowledging not giving one's full effort in the past (repeated).
Now I have your fall from me
Experiencing the consequences of the other person's downfall (repeated).
Dwelling on my thoughts and our memories
Reflecting on thoughts and memories while dwelling on them.
Passing all the time merely just existing
Merely existing, not actively participating in life.
Brush off any hope before it turns to delusion
Rejecting hope before it becomes unrealistic.
Shake awake at thoughts of you
Feeling disturbed by awakening thoughts of the person.
Presence in my dreams brings disquietude
Experiencing discomfort when the person appears in dreams.
Darling, I am so sorry
Apologizing for neglecting the person who felt like home.
You were my home, but I've been absent my whole life
Acknowledging a lifelong absence despite having a home.
Self sabotaged what was good
Admitting to sabotaging a good relationship out of fear.
Out of fear for what I knew
Revealing that fear motivated destructive behavior.
A looming sense of collapse
Describing an impending feeling of collapse.
I want it all back
Expressing a desire to reclaim everything that was lost.
