Cover art for Everything Must Go lyrics by Taking Back Sunday

"beside myself I stop to think, Oh lord what have I done."

Great line to express regret

pretty obvious what he means when he says "you quote the good book when its convenient, but you don't have the sense to tie your tangled tongue".

he means that the lady here has strong religious beliefs which she has used to justify her actions taken in the relationship. when so often these beliefs being used to base their life on, does not make the person a respectable or a mature one. saying also that she is babbling on making excuses for her behaviour based on what the good book says, not learning about emotional maturity etc.

forgive...
