Heartstrings Tangled: A Tale of Love's Echo
Lyrics
I haven't fallen in love since I was 16
The speaker hasn't experienced love since the age of 16.
We were Rolling through the streets lookin so mean
Recalling a time when they were driving through the streets, projecting a tough image.
I could never fall in love again
Expressing a reluctance to fall in love again.
But Thought it happened this past weekend
Despite the reluctance, there was a recent experience that made them consider the possibility of love.
Or maybe 20 times or more since the last I seen you
Suggesting multiple attempts at love since the last encounter with the person being addressed.
But it never feels right and now I feel so blue
None of these attempts felt right, leading to a feeling of sadness (feeling blue).
I loved you baby that's all I knew
The speaker had genuine love for the addressed person; it was their primary understanding of love.
I loved you what could I do
Expressing a sense of helplessness despite the love.
I spend too much time in my head
Acknowledging spending excessive time in contemplation.
Picturing us in your bed
Imagining intimate moments with the person in question.
Time apart is time in love to me
Believing that time spent apart is a form of expressing love, though the other person disagrees.
I know you don't agree
Recognition of the disagreement about the concept of love.
I loved you baby that's all I knew
Reiteration of the sincere love felt for the person.
I loved you what could I do
Despite the love, the speaker feels powerless.
And I know it's not the same
Acknowledging that the current situation is different from what it used to be.
And I wish that you would stay
Expressing a desire for the person to stay despite the differences.
I loved you that's all I knew
Reiterating the genuine love felt for the person.
I'm kissing this new girl and I thought of you
Engaging with a new romantic interest but still thinking of the addressed person.
I'm missing this new girl but I thought of you
Missing the new romantic interest but thoughts are still directed towards the addressed person.
Everything I do I seem to think of you
Everything the speaker does is influenced by thoughts of the addressed person.
Just let me go
Expressing a desire to be released or let go.
I'm kissing this new girl and I thought of you
Engaging with a new romantic interest but still thinking of the addressed person.
I'm missing this new girl but I thought of you
Missing the new romantic interest but thoughts are still directed towards the addressed person.
Everything I do I seem to think of you
Everything the speaker does is influenced by thoughts of the addressed person.
Just let me go
Reiterating a plea to be let go.
I loved you baby that's all I knew
Reiteration of the sincere love felt for the person.
I loved you what could I do
Despite the love, the speaker feels powerless.
And I know it's not the same
Acknowledging that the current situation is different from what it used to be.
And I wish that you would stay
Expressing a desire for the person to stay despite the differences.
I loved you that's all I knew
Reiterating the genuine love felt for the person.
I loved you
Expressing the simple truth of loving the person.
I loved you
Reiteration of the simple truth of loving the person.
I loved you
Final reiteration of the simple truth of loving the person.
