Billy
ղķÊ˲¼ÀÊÌØJames Blunt Lyrics

Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
Billy is leaving without a clear plan for his future.

He holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).
Billy is ashamed and guilty of his past mistakes and cannot ignore them.

He knows the price that he's paid.
Billy is aware of the consequences of his actions.

He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.
Billy acknowledges that he missed the chance to face his fears earlier and now it's too late.

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
Billy expects to feel sad and lonely after leaving, like sorrow is his closest companion.

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
The harm caused by Billy's past choices cannot be undone, and he's come to the realization that it's too late to mend the broken relationships.

Old doors are closed but he's always open, to relive time in his mind.
Although the doors to his past are closed, Billy continuously revisits those memories in his thoughts.

Once he was a lover sleeping with another. Now he's just known as a cheat.
Billy went from being a caring partner to someone who is known for being unfaithful.

And he wish he'd had a mirror, looked a little clearer. Seen into the eyes of the weak.
Billy regrets not seeing his own weakness and looking deeper within himself to see the consequences of his actions.

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
Billy expects to feel sad and lonely after leaving, like sorrow is his closest companion.

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
The harm caused by Billy's past choices cannot be undone, and he's come to the realization that it's too late to mend the broken relationships.

Old doors are closed but he's always open, to relive time in his mind.
Although the doors to his past are closed, Billy continuously revisits those memories in his thoughts.

Oh Billy.
The song ends with a simple refrain for the singer, Billy.
