He's Got You
Echoes of Love Lost: He's Got You
Lyrics
I got your picture that you gave to me
I possess a photograph that you gifted me.
And it's signed with love just like it used to be
The photo is signed with love, reminiscent of the past.
The only thing different, the only thing new
The only change is that someone new has taken your place.
I got your picture, he's got you
Despite having your picture, emotionally, he has you.
I got your records that we used to share
I own the records we once enjoyed together.
And they still sound the same as when you lived here
The music remains unchanged, echoing the time when you were present.
The only thing different, the only thing new
Despite the similarities, someone new occupies your space.
I got the records, he's got you
Although I have the records, emotionally, he possesses you.
I've got your memory or has it got me
I have memories of you, but it's unclear who has control over whom.
I really don't know but I know it won't let me be
Uncertain about the influence of these memories, but they persist.
I've got your class ring that proved you care
I possess your class ring, symbolizing your affection.
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The ring's appearance remains the same as when you gave it to me.
The only thing different, the only thing new
Despite having the ring, emotionally, he has you.
I've got these little thing, he's got you
Various small items remind me of you, but emotionally, he possesses you.
I've got your memory or has it got me
Uncertain if memories control me or I control them, but they persist.
I really don't know but I know it won't let me be
Reiteration of the internal struggle with persistent memories.
I've got your class ring that proved your care
I possess your class ring, symbolizing your affection.
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
Repetition of the ring's unchanging appearance since you gave it to me.
The only thing different, the only thing new
Despite having these reminders, emotionally, he has you.
I've got the little thing, he's got you
Summarizes the theme that despite physical possessions, emotionally, he is replaced by someone new.
