Done Wrong
Left Alone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm sorry about it baby
Every day she curses my name
My glass is full of sorrow and pain
I'm a reject of love
I should be crucified and shot
For the things that I don't got
And I know I've done wrong
And I'm sorry about it baby
Every day flooded with tears
My end of days seem so near
I'm a reject of love
I should be crucified and shot
For the love that I don't got
I'm a reject of her love
The song "Done Wrong" by Left Alone is a melancholic love ballad about a man who realizes that he has made mistakes and caused pain to his significant other. Admitting his faults, the lyrics express his regret for his actions while acknowledging that he does not possess the love that his partner deserves. The opening line "And I know I've done wrong" immediately sets the tone of the song with the singer taking responsibility for his actions. The repeated refrain of "I'm a reject of love" emphasizes the singer's feeling that he is not deserving of his partner's affection.
The line "My glass is full of sorrow and pain" suggests that the singer is coping with his emotions through drinking. The mention of being "crucified and shot" for not having the love that his partner deserves is a hyperbolic expression of his feelings of inadequacy. The repetition of the line "I'm a reject of her love" suggests a feeling of unworthiness that the singer feels in his relationship. The final lines "My end of days seem so near / I'm a reject of love" convey a sense of hopelessness, indicating that he does not see a future where he can make things right.
Overall, "Done Wrong" is a heart-wrenching track that explores themes of love, regret, and self-worth. The lyrics are straightforward and honest, conveying a raw emotional depth that is difficult to ignore. The accompanying music features a slow, somber melody that adds to the solemn atmosphere of the song.
