Regrets
Giovi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After all the shit that you put me through
Did you expect respect
It don't work like that
And I'm sorry about the things I said
But I still wonder if you regret
All the things you did
That you were wrong to
'Cause you were wrong to
'Cause it takes two
And you were wrong to
Try to forget but I can't forget
Why do I care if there's nothing
left
I know, I know, I know
That I, that I should go
And I don't wanna cut you off
'Cause if I did I'd have no one to call
'Cause if I did I'd have no one to call
'Cause if I did I'd have
'Cause if I did I'd have
'Cause if I did I'd have
That I, that I should go
In the song "Regrets" by Giovi, the lyrics capture the singer's remorse for hurting someone they once cared about. The opening lines express that while the singer may not have intended to hurt the person, they are aware that their actions caused pain. The mention of the difficulties and challenges that the person put the singer through suggests a turbulent past in their relationship.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of respect and how it cannot be expected or demanded after the harm that has been done. This implies that the consequences of past actions have created a dynamic where respect cannot easily be reestablished.
The lines, "And I'm sorry about the things I said, But I still wonder if you regret, All the things you did, 'Cause you couldn't admit," showcase the singer's contemplation of whether the other person feels any remorse for their own actions. It hints at a lack of accountability on the other person's part, as they were unable to admit their wrongdoings.
The repetition of the phrase, "Cause you were wrong to," emphasizes that both parties in the relationship made mistakes. The singer acknowledges their own faults, but also places blame on the other person. This suggests that the relationship was built on a foundation of shared responsibility and that both individuals contributed to its flaws.
In the later part of the song, the lyrics touch upon the struggle of trying to forget the past and move on. The singer expresses feelings of attachment and caring towards the person they have hurt, even though they realize it may be better to let go. The repeated phrase, "Cause if I did I'd have no one to call," highlights the fear of losing the only connection they have, despite the pain caused.
Overall, "Regrets" is a song that explores remorse, introspection, and the complexities of relationships. It delves into the internal struggle of wanting to move forward but also feeling hesitant to sever ties completely. The lyrics offer insights into the singer's emotional journey and the lingering uncertainty surrounding their decisions.

I didn't mean to but I know that I hurt you
Unintentionally, I caused you pain and I acknowledge my wrongdoing
After all the shit that you put me through
Despite the difficult experiences you subjected me to
Did you expect respect
Did you anticipate receiving respect in return
It don't work like that
Unfortunately, things don't function in that manner
And I'm sorry about the things I said
I sincerely apologize for my choice of words
But I still wonder if you regret
However, I can't help but wonder if you feel remorse
All the things you did
For all your actions
'Cause you couldn't admit
Since you were unable to acknowledge
That you were wrong to
Your mistake was
'Cause you were wrong to
Because it was wrong of you to
'Cause it takes two
Because both parties bear responsibility
And you were wrong to
And it was wrong of you to
Try to forget but I can't forget
I attempted to erase the memories, but I cannot rid myself of them
Why do I care if there's nothing left
I question why I still feel concerned when there is no future
I know, I know, I know
I am well aware and certain
That I, that I should go
That it is necessary for me to leave
And I don't wanna cut you off
I don't want to sever ties with you
'Cause if I did I'd have no one to call
Since I would have nobody to reach out to
'Cause if I did I'd have no one to call
Because I would be left without anyone to contact
'Cause if I did I'd have
Since I would not have
'Cause if I did I'd have
Because I would not possess
That I, that I should go
That I must depart
