Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's things of me are scared and you're my fear
The crack goes in the ground
And you, you've been coming closer to the edge
Wondering what goes on in my head
And so I shut you out
And I guess that we don't need to be falling apart
I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend?
'Cause I fell in the hole, in the hole, in the hole
My heart was turning cold, turning cold, turning cold
I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend?
And I, I promised you that we would never change
That you and me would always stay the same
How I let you down
And I guess that we don't need to be falling apart
But you will always have a special place in my heart
I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend?
'Cause I fell in the hole, in the hole, in the hole
My heart was turning cold, turning cold, turning cold
I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend? (Hey)
So can, can you forgive me friend?
Can you forgive me friend for breaking us apart?
'Cause in the end, I didn't want this to end
Can you forgive me friend? Forgive my ugly heart
And I guess that we don't need to be falling apart
But you will always have a special place in my heart
I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend?
'Cause I fell in the hole, in the hole, in the hole
My heart was turning cold, turning cold, turning cold
I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend? (Hey)

The chorus shows the singer's regret and desire to make amends, acknowledging that she never wanted the relationship to end and asking for forgiveness. The second verse further emphasizes this, with the singer reflecting on the promises made to each other and feeling guilt over letting their partner down. The final plea for forgiveness highlights the singer's recognition of her own flaws, referring to her own "ugly heart".

I, I've been keeping secrets from you dear
I've been hiding things from you because I'm afraid of your reaction
There's things of me are scared and you're my fear
There are things about me that I'm afraid of and you are the thing I'm most scared of losing
The crack goes in the ground
There is a rift growing between us
And you, you've been coming closer to the edge
You've been getting closer and closer to ending things between us
Wondering what goes on in my head
You're unsure of what I'm thinking or feeling
And so I shut you out
I've withdrawn from you emotionally to avoid conflict or rejection
And I guess that we don't need to be falling apart
We should be working to come together instead of letting things break us apart
But you will always have a special place in my heart
Despite our struggles, I still care deeply for you
I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend?
I'm sorry for my mistakes and I hope we can move past them
'Cause I fell in the hole, in the hole, in the hole
I made a huge mistake and now I feel trapped and alone
My heart was turning cold, turning cold, turning cold
I was becoming distant and unfeeling towards you
So can, can you forgive me friend?
I'm asking for your forgiveness and understanding
Can you forgive me friend for breaking us apart?
I'm sorry for causing problems in our relationship
'Cause in the end, I didn't want this to end
I didn't mean for things to go this way
Can you forgive me friend? Forgive my ugly heart
Please forgive me for my flaws and shortcomings

No matter how much I hate modern music, but there is still some great songs, and yours is one of them them. It is beautiful) Greetings from Russia
@samary1175
I don't understand why they aren't more popular, all their songs are bops
@tiaandupreez
Rosa Herbello agreed!!! They are FANTASTIC.
@marcussundmanse
They are without a doubt the most underrated band in Sweden at this point. And I love them, they seem to be approaching music with feelings, as they should. And I can see it, I am way too emotional myself. I do write music, but can only do so when my heart is broken. Luckily that hasn't been the case in many years, but I do recognise art. And this is art! I would genuinly be heartbroken if they quit, though.
@tiaandupreez
They Don't Follow The Sound Of The Masses Out There , that is why most people do not know who they are. But this sound is the new ,new!!! And this music of them will forever be in my heart!!! Loveeee them #Always!
