“Tangled” is the fifth track from Maroon 5’s debut album, Songs About Jane. It’s a pop-rock song about an abusive relationship. However, instead of being in the point of view of the victim, it’s in the point of view of the abuser, who in fact feels regret.
The song features little buildup until the...
[Intro]
Mmm
[Verse 1]
I'm full of regret
For all things that I have done and said
And I don't know
If it'll ever be okay to show
My face around here (Face around here)
Sometimes I wonder if I disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
Would you ever turn your head and look?
See if I'm gone
'Cause I fear
[Chorus]
There is nothing left to say to you
That you wanna hear, that you wanna know, I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful, oh
[Verse 2]
You're just innocent
A helpless victim of a spider's web
And I'm an insect
Goin' after anything that I can get
[Pre-Chorus]
So you better turn your head and run
And don't look back
'Cause I fear
[Chorus]
There is nothing left to say to you
That you wanna hear, that you wanna know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful, oh
(Shameful, shameful)
And I've done you so wrong
Treated you bad, strung you along, oh, shame on myself
I don't know how I got so tangled up
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
You better turn your head and run
See if I'm gone
'Cause I fear
[Chorus]
There is nothing left to say to you
That you wanna hear, that you wanna know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful, oh
(Shameful, shameful)
And I've done you so wrong
Treated you bad, strung you along, oh, shame on myself
I don't know how I got so tangled up
Yeah, tangled
(And I've done you so wrong)
(Treated you bad, strung you along, oh, shame on myself)
(I don't know how I got so tangled up)
