How You Stole My Heart
Captured Moments: Love's Longing Echo
Lyrics
VERSE I
Introduction of the first verse
Now ohh need you so much i can't breathe
Expressing a strong need for the person, struggling to breathe without them
I've been alone now
Acknowledging a period of loneliness
for way too long yeah
Emphasizing the duration of solitude
I need the taste of your love
Desiring the affection of the person, craving the taste of their love
I'm telling you
Asserting independence, being on one's own
I'm on my own yeah
Reiterating the state of being alone
Wish that I told ya
Expressing a wish to have communicated feelings earlier
that without you I'm so lost
Conveying a sense of being lost without the person
PRE
Transition to the pre-chorus
Now
Repetition of the need for the person and reflection on the decision to leave
Ooooooohhhhh
-need you so much I can't breath
-Ooooooohhhhh
-Just why the hell did I leave
-I never told you that
Acknowledging a failure to communicate a certain sentiment
CHORUS
Introduction and repetition of the chorus, recalling a memorable moment of heart-stealing
After the Sunset
-under the stars
-I still remember
-how you stole my heart
-We could be close or
-a thousand miles apart

-how you stole my heart
-Now ohhh how you stole my
Repetition of expressing how the person stole the singer's heart
Now ohhh how you stole my
-VERSE II
Introduction of the second verse
So many places
Noting the presence of many places and faces, but emphasizing the person's uniqueness
so many faces
Highlighting the diversity of experiences
But they had nothing on you yeah
Comparing others to the person and finding them incomparable
counting the days off
Marking the passage of time, counting the days
feels like I count every raindrop
Feeling the weight of time passing, akin to counting raindrops
Wish I could tell you the truth
Expressing a desire to tell the truth to the person
PRE
Repetition of the pre-chorus, underscoring the intense need for the person and regret for leaving

Acknowledging a failure to communicate a certain sentiment
