It Was U
Love's Undoing: Unraveling the Heart in ForrestWith2Rs' 'It Was U'
Lyrics
At first we were so in love
Initially, the relationship was filled with love.
Till holding her hand wasn't enough
Holding hands ceased to be sufficient to maintain the connection.
Put my arms around and pulled her close
Expressed affection by embracing closely.
My love
Referring to the affectionate gesture as "my love."
Oh please don't go
Begging the partner not to depart.
Brought her flowers and walked her home
Presenting flowers and accompanying the partner home.
Held her hand made sure she wasn't alone
Providing support by holding hands to prevent solitude.
She broke it off outside her door
The relationship ended right outside her residence.
She said
Expressed desire for a conversation.
We need to talk
Uncertainty about the reason for the breakup.
I don't know what I did wrong
Feeling misunderstood, as all love was given.
Gave you all my love
Offered complete love but was still not enough.
You still wanted more
Partner's continual desire for more without communication.
You never told
Not being informed about the partner's thoughts.
Me what's on your mind
Repeated efforts to understand met with the response "It's fine."
When everytime I asked
Asking for clarification yet receiving reassurances.
You said, "It's fine"
Blaming solely on the actions or inactions without acknowledging their contribution.
Now you blame it all on
The partner being responsible for falling out of love.
What I did or didn't do
Ignoring messages post-breakup, coping reasonably.
But it was you
Managing emotions better than anticipated after the split.
Who
Didn't experience the anticipated pain.
Fell out of love
Responding evasively when questioned about the relationship's downfall.
Left you on read since we broke up
Both parties being aware of the truth behind the breakup.
I'm doing okay, I'm holding up
Denying responsibility for the end of the relationship.
I didn't cry as much as I thought I would
Acknowledging one's contribution but not to a severe extent.
It didn't hurt as much as
Partner's consistent response of "It's fine" despite inquiries.
It should
Again, placing blame on actions or inactions without acceptance.
My friends asked how it all fell apart
Attributing the loss of love to the partner's actions.
I saved your face told them I don't remember
Claiming to have forgotten the details of the breakup.
You and I both know the truth
Mutual acknowledgment of the partner's responsibility for the breakup.
It wasn't me
Shifting the blame entirely to the partner.
Oh, it was you
Conceding some fault but maintaining the giving of love.
I never said I've done nothing wrong
Expressing no justification for the partner's dissatisfaction.
But I gave you all I had
Offered love without holding back, if not more.
No less, if more
Partner's lack of openness about their thoughts.
You never told
Repeated pattern of being reassured with "It's fine."
Me what's on your mind
Once again, placing blame solely on the partner.
When every time I asked
Continued avoidance of taking any responsibility.
You said, "It's fine"
Shifting the blame to the partner for dissatisfaction.
Then you blame it all on
The partner being accountable for falling out of love.
What I did or didn't do
Continued ignoring of messages post-breakup.
But It was you
Coping better emotionally than expected after the split.
Who
Experiencing less emotional pain than anticipated.
Fell out of love
Responsibility for the loss of affection lies with the partner.
It was you
Reiterating that the partner is to blame for falling out of love.
Who
Reaffirming the partner's role in the loss of affection.
Fell out of love
Final repetition emphasizing the partner
