What Have I Done? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time on my hands
Sit and think about what I did wrong
As the days turn into nights
Nights back into days
I sit alone
Oh no, there's blood on my hands
Guilty party
Ain't no secret I'm the one
I'm responsible for this
Sure as the moon shines 'cause I'm the sun

[Hook]
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done

[Verse 2]
Oh, mmm
Selfishly
Catered to my own desires
Never once thinking
That breaking rules just 'cause I wanted to
Could possibly hurt you
My only concern was me
And now look at you
Look at what my foolishness has turned you into
In the end
A monster
But at first a goddess when we first begun, oh
[Hook]
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done

[Verse 3]
I'm to blame
Love is a privilege
Not a game
Now you're a monster
I'm to blame
Love is a privilege
Not a game
Now you're a monster

[Bridge]
Beautiful, you are so lovely
All you wanted was to love me
How did I end up the lonely one
(What have I done)
Not hard to love someone
But it's hard to be in love
Knowing that you're killing that person
Beautiful, you are so lovely
All you wanted was to love me
How did I end up the lonely one
(What have I done)
In the end
She was a monster
But she was a goddess when we first begun
[Hook]
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
I'm to blame, hey
(What have I done)
Love is a privilege
Not a game
Now you're a monster
(What have I done)
I'm to blame
Love is a privilege
(What have I done)
Not a game
Now you're a monster
(What have I done)
And I'm to blame
Love is a privilege
Not a game
Now you're a monster
(What have I done)
And I'm to blame
Love is a privilege
Not a game

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
