But I Did
Beat Service Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The more I try to get close
The further away you slip
I used to think that I knew you
But now I don't know anymore
What's real what's true or not
Or maybe I don't wanna hear
I honestly don't think
I can bare it
Can not take it in
All that darkness
This mistake
Don't wanna keep it in
Sometimes the truth can hurt
What were you thinking
What went through your head
When I was
Naked in the palm of your hand
You held my heart
And never felt the power
The lyrics of Beat Service's song "But I Did" reflect the struggles and confusion of a person who is trying to understand the dynamics of a complex relationship. The first verse paints a picture of the singer's attempts to get closer to a person who seems to be emotionally distant and elusive. Despite their efforts, they observe the other person slipping further away from them. The second verse reveals the singer's ambivalence and uncertainty about their feelings towards the other person as they realize that they may not know them as well as they thought they did. The chorus is a plea for honesty and transparency, even if the truth may be painful to hear.
The bridge of the song adds a layer of complexity by introducing elements of trust and vulnerability. The singer questions the motives and thoughts of the other person and wonders if they ever truly understood the power they had over them. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have been emotionally exposed and taken advantage of by the other person, resulting in a deep sense of betrayal and hurt.

I see you buried deep

But now I am uncertain of my knowledge of you

I truly do not believe
I can bare it
That I can handle it well

What were you thinking
What was going through your mind
What went through your head
What thoughts were in your mind
When I was
At the time when
Naked in the palm of your hand
When I was vulnerable and trusted you intimately
You held my heart
You had my emotional trust and care in your possession
And never felt the power
But you did not recognize how that trust could have a strong impact on the relationship
