Shades of Grey
Shades of Regret: A Melancholic Reflection on Love Lost
Lyrics
I and I am to blame,
I acknowledge my responsibility and fault.
I sit here in shame.
I feel guilt and regret for my actions.
I threw you away again.
I have once again pushed you away.
And I, I send you my best.
I express my best intentions towards you.
I try to lay this to rest,
I attempt to move on from this situation.
When you were my everything.
You used to be the most significant part of my life.
Shades of Grey,
Reference to the complex and uncertain nature of the relationship.
And please fade away.
Request for emotional pain to dissipate.
And oh what if I sit in vain.
The fear of sitting in vain, questioning the value of my actions.
Hey, and I'll look away,
I divert my attention, pretending everything is fine.
Pretend I'm okay.
Putting on a facade of being okay despite inner turmoil.
I'm back on the road again.
Returning to a familiar, challenging situation.
And please, could it be true,
Questioning the possibility that love still exists.
That I still love you,
Expressing ongoing love, despite doubts.
And my loves unworthy.
Feeling undeserving of the love received.
Shades of Grey,
Reiteration of the ambiguous and complex nature of the relationship.
And please fade away.
Request for emotional pain to dissipate, repeating the plea.
And oh what if I sit in vain.
Reiteration of the fear of sitting in vain, repeating the concern.
Are you listening to my words?
Seeking confirmation that my words are being heard.
And I saw your smile pass me by,
Recalling a moment when I noticed your happiness distant from me.
And landed far from me.
Your happiness seems out of reach for me.
And what does that mean?
Pondering the significance of your distant smile.
Shades of Grey,
Reiteration of the complex and uncertain nature of the relationship.
And please fade away.
Request for emotional pain to dissipate, repeating the plea.
Oh what if I sit in vain.
Reiteration of the fear of sitting in vain, repeating the concern.
I and I ran away,
I ran away from the situation out of fear.
For I was afraid.
Expressing fear that you might become everything to me.
Afraid you'd be everything.
Fearful of the depth of emotions and connection.
