I’ve let you down (let you down)
Too many times (times times times times)
It breaks my heart (heart)
Cause when I look in your eyes I see the scars (I see the scars)
I hate myself every time I think about all the times I made you cry (made you cry)
And you deserve so much better
I don’t know
But I just can’t let you go

Hurt you never
I won’t do it again
I swear (I swear)
Hurt you never
I won’t do it again
I swear (I swear)

Got a good man (got a good man)
Better than good, he’s great
Got a great man (got a great man)
And I don’t wanna take that shit for granted

Got a good man (got a good man)
Better than good, he’s great
Got a great man (got a great man)
And I don’t wanna take that shit for granted

I know you try (know you try)
To forget the past and let it slide
It’s my fault, my bad
But I know in my heart
It’ll be alright
I just can’t handle the thought of losing you
I would rather, I’d rather die
So don’t you leave, I’ll make it better for you and me
Forever happily

Hurt you never
I won’t do it again
I swear
Hurt you
I would never
Ever do it again
I swear

Got a good man (got a good man)
Better than good, he’s great
Got a great man (got a great man)
And I don’t wanna take that shit for granted

Got a good man (got a good man)
Better than good, he’s great
Got a great man (got a great man)
And I don’t wanna take that shit for granted

Got a good man (got a good man)
Better than good, he’s great
Got a great man (got a great man)
And I don’t wanna take that shit for granted

Got a good man (got a good man)
Better than good, he’s great
Got a great man (got a great man)
And I don’t wanna take that shit for granted

I don’t wanna take that shit for granted

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
