Sorrow
Psyche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you want him to stay
You've given everything
Then you turn around
And you know it's too late
Now he's gone away
That's when my sorrow remains
I don't know why I feel this way
How could you know?
If it would be right
Was I the one to blame?
Now it's tearing at your heart
Turned around and walked away
Tried to make him stay
Was I the one to blame?

This moment becomes the turning point of the song that leads to the chorus, where the singer repeats "that's when my sorrow remains." This line is deeply emotional and effectively conveys the sense of loss and sadness.
The next part of the song shows the singer questioning herself about whether she was to blame for the failure of the relationship. She wonders if she should have done something different and thinks back on all the things that could have gone wrong. The line "I don't know why I feel this way" emphasizes her confusion and raw emotions.
