Lyrics
Take a minute, I need to relax
Expresses a need to take a break or calm down.
Used to be an alcoholic, hoping I don't relapse
Formerly struggled with alcoholism and hopes not to revert to that state.
I wish the feelings never came back
Wishes the emotions or feelings didn't return.
Cause they're not reciprocated, all I do is feel bad
Feels bad because emotions aren't mutual, leading to discomfort.
It's not your fault, I know it's mine
Takes responsibility, acknowledging that the situation is their fault.
Broke you in half, I can't rewind
Regrets causing significant emotional harm or damage to someone.
I don't know how much I can fix
Uncertain about the extent of repair possible.
But I know how I feel inside
Confident about understanding personal emotions despite uncertainty about the situation.
What the fuck is wrong with me, I know you're the best
Expresses awareness of the partner's value despite personal issues.
We had good memories, if I recollect
Reflects on positive shared experiences.
Hope you find love again, deserve nothing less
Wishing the best for the partner in finding love again.
Won't find one better so I'm single 'til my death
Believes no one better exists, choosing to remain single.
Starin' at the ceilin' I get no rest
Struggling with sleeplessness while deeply contemplating the situation.
I don't like the feeling of feeling too empty in my chest
Discomfort with an overwhelming feeling of emptiness in the chest.
I cut Vickie off, told her I'm still in love with my ex
Admits to still having feelings for an ex, leading to the end of a new relationship.
I wish I never left, she fell in love with somebody else, damn
Regret for leaving the ex who subsequently found new love.
Take my pain away, I'm sorry
Desires relief from emotional pain and apologizes.
You're my one and only darling
Expresses deep affection and commitment to the partner.
Took some time and problem solving
Refers to investing time and effort in solving issues.
You're my drug and I'm withdrawing

You're my one and only darling
