Lyrics
Once the love was strong
Reflecting on a past when love was strong
Now it's long, long gone
Expressing that the love has faded and is now gone
Cause the pain, came down like a storm
Attributing the end of the relationship to a painful experience
I remained, holdin' on
Persisting through the pain, holding on to the memories
Cause I want you, cause I want you
Repeated desire for the person, emphasizing a strong longing
I want you, I want you
-I been thinking bout
Contemplating the past and thoughts about the person
I been thinking bout
-I been thinking bout you lately
-Thoughts take me to when we were close
Recalling the closeness and expressing addiction to love
Addicted 2 your love, feel I need another dose
-I know it's a feeling
Acknowledging lingering emotions that should have faded
That should be long gone
-Things seem to come up
Triggering memories when hearing a shared song
When I hear our song
-Golden brown girl, it seem so long
Referencing the absence of the person and questioning what went wrong
Since I heard your voice
-Where did the king go wrong?
-Emotions that that they linger on
Reflecting on the strength of a love never experienced before
I guess cause I never knew a love so strong
-So many hot girls
Expressing a need for the warmth and presence of the person
I need your warm
-The taste of your mouth
-Girl I need your warm
-Good food and love
-I need your warm
-This here was made before we were born
Connecting dreams and determination to keep dreaming
A dreamer, so I'm a keep dreaming on
-It's kinda like the breakup of Jen and Vince Vaughn
Comparing to a celebrity breakup, perhaps highlighting challenges
Once the love was strong
Reiterating the desire for the person despite the challenges
Now it's long, long gone
-Cause the pain, came down like a storm
-I remained, holdin' on
-Cause I want you, cause I want you
-I want you, I want you
-They say you don't know know know
Reflecting on the value of something after it's gone
What you got
-Till what u got is gone
-Yeah I write such and such yo a lot
Acknowledging expressing feelings but not as strongly
But the feelings not as strong
-We were like two birds
Metaphorically describing the relationship as two birds
That were able to fly
-I try to pick the right words to say to the sky
-Somedays I would try but wasn't able to cry
Expressing difficulty in saying goodbye and letting go
I never been good at saying goodbye
-I take a deep breath when the times is hard
Deep breath during tough times and reminiscing about the person
When I reminisce over u, my god
-I spent many years trying to be the heartthrob
Reflecting on efforts to be attractive and the irony of heartbreak
I guess it's only right that I got my heart robbed
-The scent of a room that reminds me of you
Triggering memories through scents, looks, and celestial elements
A hint of perfume it remind me of you
-Take a look at the moon it remind me of you
-Hope the stars and the gods
Hoping for alignment with the stars and gods in the relationship
Align me and you
-Once the love was strong
Repeating the longing for the person and the pain of separation
Now it's long, long gone
-Cause the pain, came down like a storm
-I remained, holdin' on
-Cause I want you, cause I want you
-I want you, I want you
-We do what we do
Expressing a commitment to one's way of life and upbringing
And we do what we live
-I love this way
-Cause I got it as a kid
-Wit so much to give from it
Having a lot to give but facing challenges and changes in love
I never hid
-The love that I wrote on the mirror it got smeared
-My friends say it was a change for the better
Recognizing positive changes in oneself due to the relationship
But I say, girl you changed my forever
-Relationships they can be as strange as the weather
Comparing relationships to unpredictable weather
Rain or sun
-We can sang this together
Inviting to sing together, indicating a shared experience
Cause I want you
Reiterating the strong desire for the person
