Guilty
¤ The Rasmus Lyrics

I feel guilty
I am ridden with guilt for my actions and decisions

My words are empty
I realize that my promises and claims hold no meaning nor significance

No signs to give you
I have failed to give you any indication or signal regarding my feelings or intentions

I don't have the time for you
I am too consumed with my own life that I cannot make time for you or prioritize our relationship

You say I'm heartless
You accuse me of lacking empathy and compassion

And you say I don't care
You express your perception that I am indifferent and apathetic towards you

I used to be there for you
I was once a reliable and dependable source of support for you

And you've said I seem so dead, that I have changed
You have noticed a profound transformation in my personality and behavior, causing me to seem lifeless and dull

But so have you
However, you failed to acknowledge and address your own attitude and actions that contributed to our strained relationship

Guilty, guilty I feel so
I am overwhelmed and consumed with feelings of guilt and remorse

Empty, empty you know how to make me feel
You have the ability to make me feel insignificant, hollow and worthless

I put a shield upon you
I attempted to protect you from further hurt and pain

I didn't mean to hurt you
My actions may have caused you harm, but it was unintentional

I would have only poisoned your mind
I realize that my perspective and influence may not always be helpful or positive for you, and may in fact cause harm

Never meant to make you cry
I did not intend nor desire to cause you emotional pain or distress

You've been so thoughtless
You have been inconsiderate and insensitive towards me

I can see right through you
I am able to discern the truth about your character and intentions

You used to be there for me
I relied on you in the past for support and assistance, but that no longer appears to be the case

So don't you leave say goodbye
Please do not abandon me and terminate our relationship without proper communication and closure

Cause you have changed but so have I
Both of us have experienced personal growth and transformation, which has had an impact on our relationship

I never thought that the time and the distance
I failed to consider the role that time and physical separation would play in our relationship

Between us made you so much colder
The lack of communication and physical presence has caused you to become distant and unemotional

I'll carry the world on my shoulders
I am willing to bear the weight and responsibility of this relationship and take on any challenges that arise
