at least we had it
Ephemeral Love Echoes: 'At Least We Had It' by Delanie Leclerc
Lyrics
Maybe I'm an addict
Expressing self-awareness and potential acknowledgment of a dependency or attachment.
'Cause you give me a taste, and I take the whole bottle down
Describing a pattern of excessive behavior when given a taste or opportunity.
But I guess you'll never have it
Suggesting the unavailability of something desired.
'Cause I'm only enough, whenever I'm not around
Highlighting one's significance only in absence, implying a lack of attention otherwise.
No one's ever gonna love you like I did
Claiming a unique and unparalleled love that won't be replicated.
It's gonna take you forever to find it
Stating the prolonged time it will take for the person to find a comparable love.
You decided on convenience over magic
Accusing the other of prioritizing convenience over a special connection.
The "what could've beens" are tragic
Referring to missed opportunities and potential outcomes that could have been magical.
But at least we had it
Reflecting on the positive aspects of the past relationship despite its end.
Boved me on a timeline
Indicating a predetermined path for the speaker by the other person.
'Cause you knew I would stay, even when you were walking out
Acknowledging commitment despite the partner's decision to leave.
I know I'm on your mind
Asserting continued presence in the other person's thoughts post-breakup.
'Cause now that we're done
Confirming the end of the relationship.
You see what it was
Realizing and understanding the nature of the past relationship.
And now you want me back
Noting the desire from the ex-partner to rekindle the relationship.
'Cause you miss what we had
Recognizing the ex-partner's yearning for what was lost.
But who's fault was that
Posing a question about the responsibility for the relationship's downfall.
No one's ever gonna love you like I did
Reiterating the uniqueness of the speaker's love.
It's gonna take you forever to find it
Repeating the idea that finding a comparable love will be time-consuming.
Is it safe to say you wish we could've lasted
Questioning if it's acceptable to admit a desire for a longer-lasting relationship.
You gave it up, that's tragic
Describing the partner's decision to end the relationship as unfortunate.
But at least we had it
Reiterating the positive memories of the past relationship.
You
Addressing the ex-partner directly.
Always choose the ones who aren't choosing you
Pointing out a pattern of choosing partners who do not reciprocate feelings.
So you let me go cause it was easier to do
Explaining the ex-partner's decision to let go for convenience.
So now that I'm moving on and wish we never happened
Expressing a wish that the relationship never happened while moving forward.
You're living in the past when
Noting the ex-partner's dwelling in the past.
At least we had it
Reiterating the positive aspects of the past relationship despite its end.
(At least we had it)
Repeating the acknowledgment of positive memories.
(But I guess you'll never have it)
Reaffirming the unattainability of what was lost.
(At least we had it)
Repeating the acknowledgment of positive memories.
At least we had it
Summarizing the acknowledgment of positive memories.
At least we had it
Reiterating the acknowledgment of positive memories.
