All My Fault
Reddy Redd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴All I ever wanted was to hold your hand
Have you pick me up when my airplane lands
You promised me that I would always be your man
But a touchy situation kinda ruined our plans
And here you are stuck in my head again
I try to play your game but I just can't win
You open up a door but never let me in
You knock me down like a bowling pin I'll find you again I just don't know when
I know you hear me calling you from deep within
These tears keep falling down to my chin
But I don't need to hear no violins
Cause its

All my fault
This pain I caused
These tears that fall
The love I lost
It's all my fault
I have these scars
Its all because I love too hard
It's all my fault that you are gone
It takes a real man to admit when he's wrong
It's all my fault it's all my fault it's all my fault

Maybe in another life time you'll be mine
They say the grass is always greener on the other side
If that's the case then I cant wait until I die
Id go to hell just to star into your eyes
Don't get it twisted I ain't thinkin about suicide
Just day dreamin of the sky seein you and I
The farther you ran the harder I tried
But the harder I tried the harder I cried
Baby I apologized probably like a thousand times
True love it was left behind a lesson got taught
What happened to the soul ties
Watching time go by
And I finally know why

It's All my fault
This pain I caused
These tears that fall
The love I lost
Its all my fault
I have these scars
Its all because I love too hard
It's all my fault that you are gone

It takes a real man to admit when he's wrong
It's all my fault its all my fault its all my fault

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Reddy Redd's song “All My Fault” are expressing deep sadness over losing someone significant because of personal mistakes. Reddy describes his relationship with the person he loves, and how he is finding it hard to move on. All he ever wanted was to hold her hand, and he thought he had found the one. He believed that he would always be her man, but their plans were thwarted by a complicated situation. Reddy explains how he is still stuck in his love for her and how he tries to play her game, but he can't win because she never lets him in. She knocked him down, and he is left feeling alone, crying uncontrollably while reflecting on his relationship. Reddy apologizes to her a thousand times and admits that it was his fault. He loves too hard, and as a result, he has been left with a scar.

The part where Reddy says, "Maybe in another lifetime, you'll be mine" portrays the reality that the relationship is over, and he is just holding on to a mere possibility. Looking at the phrase, "It takes a real man to admit when he's wrong," Reddy is showing maturity and taking responsibility for his mistakes. Moreover, his acknowledgment of the damage caused in the relationship serves as a lesson to himself and others. Unfortunately, despite his realization, the love they shared had already been lost.

Line by Line Meaning

All I ever wanted was to hold your hand
I desired nothing more than to be close to you

Have you pick me up when my airplane lands
I wanted your love and reassurance upon returning home

You promised me that I would always be your man
You assured me that we would always be together

But a touchy situation kinda ruined our plans
An unpleasant situation caused our relationship to falter

And here you are stuck in my head again
You still occupy my thoughts and emotions

I try to play your game but I just can't win
I attempted to conform to your desires, but was unsuccessful

You open up a door but never let me in
You give me an opportunity to be close to you, but then shut me out

You knock me down like a bowling pin
You hurt me and brought me down

I'll find you again I just don't know when
I am determined to reconnect with you, but don't know how or when

I know you hear me calling you from deep within
My feelings for you are strong and come from within

These tears keep falling down to my chin
I am filled with sadness and cry often

But I don't need to hear no violins
I don't need pity or sympathy from others

Cause its all my fault
I take responsibility for the problems in our relationship

This pain I caused
I am responsible for the pain we both feel

These tears that fall
My sadness and heartbreak leads to tears

The love I lost
We lost the love we once had

It's all my fault
I am to blame for the end of our relationship

I have these scars
I am emotionally scarred from our failed relationship

Its all because I love too hard
My intense love for you caused these issues

It's all my fault that you are gone
I caused the end of our relationship and your departure

It takes a real man to admit when he's wrong
Being honest about my mistakes and taking responsibility is a sign of strength

Maybe in another life time you'll be mine
Perhaps in a different scenario, we could have been together

They say the grass is always greener on the other side
Others say that things always appear better elsewhere

If that's the case then I can't wait until I die
If that's true, I look forward to a different life after death

Id go to hell just to stare into your eyes
I would do anything to be close to you, even if it meant going to a terrible place

Don't get it twisted I ain't thinkin about suicide
I am not considering suicide, just expressing my longing for you

Just day dreamin of the sky seein you and I
I daydream of being together in a beautiful setting

The farther you ran the harder I tried
As you distanced yourself, I tried harder to reconnect

But the harder I tried the harder I cried
My efforts to fix things only caused me more pain

Baby I apologized probably like a thousand times
I have said sorry many times, but it doesn't change the outcome

True love it was left behind a lesson got taught
Our true love did not survive, but I learned something from the experience

What happened to the soul ties
Our emotional connections were strong, but they diminished

Watching time go by
Time has passed since our relationship ended

And I finally know why
I have come to understand the reasons for our breakup
