"Girl I see it in your eyes you're disappointed
'Cause I'm the foolish one that you anointed with your heart
I tore it apart
And girl what a mess I made upon your innocence
And no woman in the world deserves this
But here I am asking you for one more chance."
The interesting effect of the lyrics that was used to make the song catchy was the use of rhymes. "Girl" and "I" lead me to think that this was an apology to a girl that got her heart broken by a boy. Later on, the boy realized that he toyed with the wrong girl's heart, that is why he is asking "for one more chance."

What makes you think this is an apology?
ReplyDeletethe beginning phrase, when they start the song off with "Girl" as if it is specifically to one person.
ReplyDeleteBut it could be about any girl.
ReplyDeleteyeah I think it is a general apology to all the girl's that have been hurt by boys that make stupid mistakes.
ReplyDeleteThose bastards should speak for themselves, if I have to apologize I will but until then I'm going to whistle in the wind : ) hehehehe
ReplyDeleteYou are a cruel man!
