Verse 1
It's rocking even though we're standing still
Still in the harbor and feeling sick
The slot machines have gone dark
They're cleaning the cabins and dusting
Prechorus 1
I've got nowhere to be
I move closer as an answer
When you ask 'should we go?'
Chorus 1
I woke up all alone
Remember nothing from last night
It was probably for the best
You would've surely regretted it today
Verse 2
We're eating licorice and are silent
It's starting to sting on my tongue
Hand in my pocket though I care
Whatever you ask, I'll answer 'no'
Prechorus 2
I've got nowhere to be
I move closer as an answer
When you ask 'should we go?'
Chorus 2
I woke up all alone
Remember nothing from last night
It was probably for the best
You would've surely regretted it today
Chorus 3
I woke up all alone
Nothing happened last night
It was probably for the best
You would've surely regretted it today
Bridge
I'd rather be made a fool of than be alone
I can't be ice-cold, I just wanna feel
It was probably for the best
You would've surely regretted it today
Hey
Chorus 4
I woke up all alone
Remember nothing from last night
It was probably for the best
You would've surely regretted it today
Outro
I woke up all alone
Nothing happened last night
It was probably for the best
You would've surely regretted it today
It was probably for the best

bortgjordmade a fool of / humiliated

Bortgjord is the past participle of the reflexive verb göra bort sig, which means 'to make a fool of oneself' or 'to embarrass oneself'. It's a powerful and somewhat unique word that captures a specific emotional state.

In the song, Veronica Maggio sings, "Jag vill hellre va bortgjord än och va ensam" (I'd rather be made a fool of than be alone). This line reveals a deep vulnerability and a willingness to risk humiliation over solitude, making bortgjord a key word that unlocks the song's emotional core and is very enticing.

Have you ever woken up after a night out feeling a little fuzzy about what happened? That's the feeling Veronica Maggio captures in her song "Jag Lovar" (which means "I Promise" in Swedish).

The song tells the story of the awkward morning after a night that almost happened. She wakes up alone, with a blurry memory, and tries to convince herself it's for the best. She sings, "Jag vaknade alldeles själv" (I woke up all alone) and thinks, "Du hade säkert ångrat dig idag" (You would surely have regretted it today). It's a classic case of trying to protect your own heart by pretending you don't care.

But deep down, she reveals her true feelings. The most powerful line might be, "Jag vill hellre va bortgjord än och va ensam" (I'd rather be a fool than be alone). It's a song about the confusing mix of loneliness, vulnerability, and the fear of rejection we all feel sometimes.
