Lyrics
"Remember when I caught your eye
Recalling the moment when the speaker first noticed the person
You gave me rainbows and butterflies
Describing the positive emotions and excitement caused by the person
We did enjoy our happiness?
Reflecting on the enjoyment of their shared happiness
When our love was over
Acknowledging the end of their love
I was such a mess
Expressing the emotional turmoil and difficulty coping after the breakup
I smiled at you
Recalling a moment of mutual smiles
And you smiled back
Highlighting the reciprocation of smiles
That's when I knew
Realizing a significant point in their relationship
There's no turning back
Understanding that there is no possibility of reversing the course of the relationship
You said you loved me
Quoting the partner's expression of love
And I did too
Confirming mutual love
Now though it's over
Acknowledging the end of the relationship
I still love you
Expressing persistent feelings of love despite the breakup
You're in my mind
Emphasizing the person's presence in the speaker's thoughts
You're in my heart
Stating that the person is in the speaker's heart
I wish I knew right from the start
Expressing a wish to have known something important at the beginning of the relationship
All my friends said you break my heart
Referring to friends warning about potential heartbreak
A heartbreaker right from the start
Describing the person as a heartbreaker from the beginning
I tried to fight it
Admitting an attempt to resist the attraction
I tried so hard
Expressing the effort invested in resisting the feelings
And every day
Referencing a daily prayer for the relationship's success
I pray to god
Expressing hope for destiny with the person
That you and me were meant to be
Expressing disappointment as the person had another lover
But you had another
Recognizing the presence of another romantic interest
You had a lover
Confirming the end of the other relationship
And now is gone
Expressing confusion about the reasons for feeling emotional
I don't know why
Conveying a sense of inexplicable sadness
I feel like crying
Expressing a strong emotional reaction, wanting to cry
Just want to die
Expressing intense emotional pain
I can't look at you
Stating the difficulty of looking at the person
And you know why
Asserting awareness of the reason for the emotional struggle
No, I tried so hard
Affirming the effort to resist emotional distress
To catch…"
Ending with an unfinished thought, possibly indicating ongoing emotional turmoil
