But I Did
Beat Service feat. Neev Kennedy 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 to "But I Did" by Beat Service feat. Neev Kennedy depict a deep sense of confusion, hurt, and betrayal within a relationship. The singer is trying to understand the person they once thought they knew, but now find themselves distant from. The opening lines, "I see you buried deep, The more I try to get close, The further away you slip," indicate that the person they are addressing has become emotionally unavailable and is pushing them away.
The singer reflects on their past perceptions of the person, emphasizing that they used to have a clear understanding of who they were. However, this certainty has been replaced by uncertainty, as they question what is real and true anymore. The repeated plea for the truth and the admission that they might not want to hear it reflects the singer's vulnerability and fear of facing the harsh reality. They feel that they cannot bear the weight of the truth and are afraid of the pain it might bring.
The lyrics also touch on the aftermath of a mistake or betrayal. The darkness mentioned alludes to the painful secret or wrongdoing that the person is hiding. The singer expresses a desire to let go of this burden and not keep it inside, suggesting that they want honesty and transparency to prevail in the relationship. However, they acknowledge that truthful revelations can be painful and admit that sometimes the truth can hurt.
Overall, the lyrics of "But I Did" delve into the complexities of trust, deception, and the struggle to navigate through the uncertain territory of a relationship that has lost its foundation of truth and understanding.

When I was
During the time when
Naked in the palm of your hand
Completely vulnerable and exposed to you
You held my heart
You had control over my emotions
And never felt the power
But you never fully acknowledged or understood the impact you had

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, but I did...... Without music, without these lyrics we are NOTHING
