Guilty
Carolynne Good Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When your only friends are hotel rooms
Hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around I would tonight

These roads never seemed so long
Since your paper heart start beating leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?
Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends

August evenings
Bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

You never know what temporal days may bring
So laugh, love, live free and sing
When life is in discord
Praise ye the lord

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends

I thought you said forever
Over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends

I thought you said forever




Over and over
These thoughts run through my head

When your only friends are hotel rooms
Being constantly on the move and never staying in one place long enough to form deep connections can make you feel incredibly lonely, and the only consistent company you have are the rooms you sleep in.


Hands are distant lullabies
Feeling disconnected from someone you once held close is like a lullaby that soothes you to sleep, but also fills you with longing and heartache.


If I could turn around I would tonight
Sometimes our actions have unforeseen consequences, and if we could go back in time and undo them, we would in a heartbeat to make things right.


These roads never seemed so long
When you're alone and feeling lost, every road you take feels endless and overwhelming, and it seems like you'll never find your way.


Since your paper heart start beating leaving me suddenly alone

Will daybreak ever come?
When you're in the depths of despair, it's hard to see a way out or imagine that things will ever get better again.

Who's gonna drive you home?
After someone you relied on is gone, even simple things like getting a ride home become daunting tasks, and you feel adrift and alone in a world that was once familiar.


I just want one more chance to put my arms in fragile hands
Knowing that you can never hold the person you loved again is one of the hardest things to accept, and you would do anything for one more chance to feel their warmth and tenderness.


I thought you said forever over and over
Words can be powerful, and when someone promises you everlasting love and then breaks that vow, it can feel like a betrayal that echoes in your mind for a long time.


A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
When you can't stop thinking about someone who is gone, the nights can feel endless and torturous, and you long for a reprieve from the pain and heartache.

Complaints of violins become my only friends

August evenings bring solemn warnings to remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight
Time is fleeting, and it's important to cherish the moments we have with the people we care about, and never take them for granted, because we never know when they might be gone.


You never know what temporal days may bring, so laugh, love, live free and sing
Life is full of surprises, some good and some bad, and we must embrace each day with joy and love, and never forget to sing and be grateful for the beauty all around us.


When life is in discord, praise ye the lord
Even in the darkest moments, it's important to have faith and find hope in something greater than ourselves, and to trust that there is a purpose for everything that happens.

She is such a great singer, This performance stayed with me after ten years, what does that say, She should have been a megga star by now releasing a greatest hits. Why should great artists like this have to go through Xfactor and be judged its not right.
