The Day That I Ruined Your Life
Boston Manor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The shadows on your lips & your cheek.
I hope you had a lovely day.
& cherished our final week.
Can hardly look you in the eye.
Cause I have got to pick,
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life.
The smell of home makes me feel sick.
Because it reminds me of you.
& still I have got to pick.
The day that I ruin your life.
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life.
I told you that things would be okay.
Why'd you have to make me lie?
I wish that we had never met at all.
The thought of you makes me cry.
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
Boston Manor's song "The Day That I Ruined Your Life" is a heart-wrenching reflection on the aftermath of a broken relationship. The lyrics speak of the pain and guilt felt by the singer in the aftermath of their actions, which they believe have caused irreparable damage to their partner's life. The opening lines, "I memorised the features of your face / The shadows on your lips & your cheek," suggest a deep connection between the two individuals that has been shattered by the singer's actions. The reference to "our final week" implies that the relationship had been on the rocks for some time before the singer delivered the final blow.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses their regret and self-loathing, unable to look their former partner in the eye due to the guilt they feel. The line, "The smell of home makes me feel sick / Because it reminds me of you," suggests that the singer is struggling to move on from the relationship and is haunted by reminders of their past. Despite this, they have made a choice that they believe will ultimately destroy their partner's life.
The chorus simply repeats the haunting phrase, "The day that I ruin your life," emphasizing the weight of the singer's actions and the enormity of their consequences. The final lines, "I wish that we had never met at all / The thought of you makes me cry," show the depth of the singer's emotional pain and regret, and the impossibility of going back to undo their mistakes.
Overall, "The Day That I Ruined Your Life" is a poignant song that captures the pain of lost love and the destructive power of thoughtless actions.

I memorized the features of your face
The shadows on your lips and your cheek
I hope you had a lovely day
And cherished our final week
Can hardly look you in the eye
'Cause I have got to pick
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The smell of home makes me feel sick
Because it reminds me of you
And still I have got to pick
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
I told you that things would be okay
Why'd you have to make me lie?
I wish that we had never met at all
The thought of you makes me cry
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
The day that I ruin your life
