Shouldn't Have Done That
Regrets Echoing: Unraveling the Emotions of Two Another's 'Shouldn't Have Done That'
Lyrics
I'm a slave to this mess I've made
I feel trapped by the consequences of my own actions.
I was caught in the moment of your break
I got caught up in the pivotal moment of your emotional breakdown.
Shouldn't have done that
I regret doing something.
Shouldn't have gone that way
I should not have taken that particular path or approach.
I've been working, I've been waiting for
I've been putting effort and waiting for something.
Never meant to cause you all that pain
I never intended to cause you significant pain.
Never pace you slower than you want to say
I won't slow you down more than you are comfortable with.
Shouldn't have done that
Expressing regret for a specific action.
Shouldn't have gone that way
I shouldn't have chosen that particular direction.
I've been working, I've been waiting for
Continuing to work and wait for something.
Somebod
The line seems incomplete or intentionally left open.
'Cause I don't get to remember
Memory loss or difficulty remembering something.
And I've been walking for a good while
I've been on a journey for a considerable time.
Just to find my way home
Struggling to find my way back home.
No one damaged us, but they shipped me anyway
No external forces harmed us, but I was moved or changed anyway.
Yeah, I know you can behave me
Aware that you can control or influence me, but questioning whether you should make me stay.
But you ought to make me stay
A desire for the other person to want and insist on the speaker's presence.
Wouldn't you like that? Could've gone my way
Reflecting on a missed opportunity to have things go in a more favorable way.
I've been working, I've been waiting for
Continuing to work and wait for something.
In my mind, it's not so hateful to be out of place
In the speaker's mind, being out of place is not as negative as it may seem.
You said always you won't to see me
A contradiction where you said you always wanted to see me, but now I'm on my way.
But now I'm on my way
The speaker is now on the journey.
Shouldn't have done that
Reiteration of regret for a specific action.
Shouldn't have gone that way
Expressing that the chosen path was a mistake.
I've been working, I've been waiting for
Continuing to work and wait for something.
Somebod
The line seems incomplete or intentionally left open.
'Cause I don't get to remember
Memory loss or difficulty remembering something.
And I'll be walking for a good while
The speaker has been walking for an extended period.
Just to find my way home
Struggling to find the way back home.
Shouldn't have done that
Reiteration of regret for a specific action.
Shouldn't have gone that way
Expressing that the chosen path was a mistake.
Shouldn't have fought back
Regret for fighting back; it might have been better to stay passive.
No, I should've stayed
Acknowledging the mistake of not staying in the situation.
Shouldn't have done that
Reiteration of regret for a specific action.
Shouldn't have gone that way
Expressing that the chosen path was a mistake.
Shouldn't have fought back
Regret for fighting back; it might have been better to stay passive.
No, I should've stayed
Acknowledging the mistake of not staying in the situation.
Shouldn't have done that
Reiteration of regret for a specific action.
Shouldn't have gone that way
Expressing that the chosen path was a mistake.
Shouldn't have fought back
Regret for fighting back; it might have been better to stay passive.
No, I should've stayed
Acknowledging the mistake of not staying in the situation.
Shouldn't have done that
Reiteration of regret for a specific action.
Shouldn't have gone that way
Expressing that the chosen path was a mistake.
Shouldn't have fought back
Regret for fighting back; it might have been better to stay passive.
