Another interpretation: “dragging someone down” can be to bring the person down to a level lower than they should be. If your life is good, and my life is bad, I might “drag you down” to my level to feel better about myself and make you feel worse.

@meeksandrew I took this context from a song called "numb" by men I trust. I believe that the meaning is like you have mentioned, Like she was regretting for made him waste his time with her, e made his life bad like her life. Something like that, I think.
Sorry if I made some mistakes in my text. And corret me if I have did.

Yeah, the singer feels bad about her life and sorry to the person she is singing to. Maybe she wasted his/her time “I never meant to cheat you out of time” and made his or her life worse for being with her: “I’m sorry that I dragged you down my way.”

@meeksandrew this song I listened it when my english was so poor, and now what I couldn't understand is this my doubt that I uploaded here.
Now my english I can read and understand the most of context. But when I try to write I really mess up.

It’s the same with me and Swedish (I am American living in Stockholm). I understand a lot but usually mess up when I try to write (or speak)

@meeksandrew yeah, when I heard the first time I did'nt have the any idea what she was singing. But now I see how this song is bad.

@meeksandrew This is because I'm not training my speak or write. One day I will, but right now I'm just focused in my listening and vocabulary.
