[Intro] [Verse 1] If you would’ve blinked then I would’ve Looked away at the first glance If you tasted poison you could’ve Spit me out at the first chance And if I was some paint did it splatter On a promising grown man? And if I was a child did it matter If you got to wash your hands? [Pre-Chorus] Ooh ooh ooh all I used to do was pray Would’ve could’ve should’ve If you’d never looked my way [Chorus] I would’ve stayed on my knees And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil At nineteen And the God’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven And now that I’m grown I’m scared of ghosts Memories feel like weapons And now that I know I wish you’d left me wondering [Verse 2] If you never touched me I would’ve Gone along with the righteous If I never blushed then they could’ve Never whispered about this And if you never saved me from boredom I could’ve gone on as I was But Lord you made me feel important And then you tried to erase us [Pre-Chorus] Ooh ooh ooh you’re a crisis of my faith Would’ve could’ve should’ve If I’d only played it safe [Chorus] I would’ve stayed on my knees And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil At nineteen And the God’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven And now that I’m grown I’m scared of ghosts Memories feel like weapons And now that I know I wish you’d left me wondering [Bridge] God rest my soul I miss who I used to be The tomb won’t close Stained glass windows in my mind I regret you all the time I can’t let this go I fight with you in my sleep The wound won’t close I keep on waiting for a sign I regret you all the time [Verse 3] If clarity’s in death then why won’t this die? Years of tearing down our banners you and I Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts Give me back my girlhood it was mine first     [Chorus] And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil At nineteen And the God’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven And now that I’m grown I’m scared of ghosts Memories feel like weapons And now that I know I wish you’d left me wondering [Outro] God rest my soul I miss who I used to be The tomb won’t close Stained glass windows in my mind I regret you all the time I can’t let this go I fight with you in my sleep The wound won’t close I keep on waiting for a sign I regret you all the time Oh God rest my soul I miss who I used to be The tomb won’t close Stained glass windows in my mind I regret you all the time I can’t let this go I fight with you in my sleep The wound won’t close I keep on waiting for a sign I regret you all the time

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson explore les regrets nostalgiques d'une relation tumultueuse, où l'interprète réfléchit sur les choix qu'elle a faits et les chemins qu'elle aurait pu prendre. Elle se rappelle de moments où elle aurait dû rester prudente et s'accrocher à sa foi, au lieu de s'engager dans des expériences qui ont laissé des blessures durables. Les souvenirs, tout en évoquant une certaine beauté, deviennent aussi des rappels douloureux de ce qu’elle a perdu. Le contexte semble être une réflexion sur la jeunesse et les erreurs que l'on commet en grandissant, entre la recherche d'identité et les influences extérieures. Il y a un sentiment de lutte intérieure entre désir et rédemption, où elle lutte avec les fantômes de son passé. C'est une quête de compréhension et de paix avec elle-même, une prise de conscience que certaines décisions peuvent laisser des marques indélébiles.
