Song Description
A quick electronic riser immediately gives way to modest yet tuneful piano chords, a catchy male vocal refrain, subtle building shakers and a cute high pitched vox synth loop. An electronic hand clap signals the entry of the head bobbing drum beat, rhythmic bass guitar and addictive repeating electronic guitar riffs. As the bass level fades from the drums, risers, cymbals and an EDM snare roll build in intensity, and an electronic tom-tom roll sweeps from left to right. The rhythmic tuneful chorus explodes with energy and passion, and the repeating vocal refrain dances back and forth heightened by harmonic vox synth effects. The bass guitar, piano and simple dance beat provide energy and momentum, and layered high pitched electronic guitar riffs add intensity to the melody. The track dies back to questioning male vocals, simple piano chords, delicate retro sounding synth pads and guitar refrains. The quiet, tender, atmospheric lulls counter the passion and liveliness of the pounding chorus, and allow subtle snare builds and electronic risers to effortlessly return the listener to the addictive chorus.

Lyrics
(Chorus)
What have I become,
What have I become to make you hurt?
Backing vocals: Have you ever?
(Repeat)
(Bridge)
I broke the vow we made, I broke the heart you gave,
need to protect I have, left you alone, please don't leave me, don't go.
I acted like a jerk for my own pleasure,
What have I become,
I acted like a jerk for my own pleasure,
What have I become to make you hurt?
(Repeat chorus, repeat bridge)
I really feel ashamed to have caused you sorrow, I never meant to feel your heart with pain,
and I know what I did to you was awful, please believe me, I will never do this again.
(Repeat chorus)
