Lyrics
I was a kid
The speaker reminisces about their youth.
You took my heart
The person being addressed captured the speaker's affection.
And you broke it
That person caused emotional pain by breaking the speaker's heart.
Why did I care
The speaker questions their emotional investment in the relationship.
So much
Expressing deep emotional attachment or concern.
You always hurt me regardless
The individual caused consistent hurt despite the speaker's presence.
And I was always there
The speaker remained committed despite the pain caused.
And you were never here for me
The person was emotionally distant or absent when needed.
I only wanted to see
The speaker desired clarity or understanding.
I saw a light in your heart
Perceiving something positive within the person's nature or character.
You held me tight as I fell apart
The person provided support during the speaker's breakdown.
You watched me drown, you made me smile
Despite supporting, the person also caused the speaker's downfall.
It was the best I've felt in a while
The emotional turmoil brought a fleeting sense of happiness.
And even tho you were bad for me
Recognition of the detrimental nature of the relationship.
You were the only thing that was saving me
Despite toxicity, the person was the sole source of solace.
I hurt myself when I'm alone
Self-inflicted harm in moments of solitude.
And now you're gone I feel so lost
Feeling adrift and directionless after the person's departure.
Why are we like this?
Questioning the dysfunctional nature of the relationship.
You're the one that does it
Attributing the negative dynamics primarily to the addressed person.
And in my heart, I know
The speaker's inner conviction about the person's desire to love.
That you wanna love me
Belief in the person's affection despite their inability to express it.
But you can't
Acknowledging the person's incapacity to love fully.
Oh I know
Recognition of the person's attempts to love.
That you try
Admitting that their efforts are insufficient.
But it's not enough
Their attempts are deemed insufficient from the speaker's perspective.
In my eyes I see
The speaker's perception holds hope for a positive future with the person.
I see a way for you and me
Visualizing a potential path forward for their relationship.
You can come with me
Inviting the person to embark on a new journey together.
And we can leave this city
Expressing a desire to escape the current circumstances.
I know you want to
Belief in the person's desire to leave their current relationship.
You can leave him dear
Encouragement to break away from another romantic tie.
I saw a light in your heart
Recalling the positive qualities perceived in the person.
You held me tight as I fell apart
Reiteration of the person's support during the speaker's breakdown.
You watched me drown, you made me smile
Simultaneous support and detrimental impact on the speaker.
It's the best I've felt in a while
Temporary happiness derived from the distressing situation.
And even tho you were bad for me
Recognition of the person's detrimental influence despite being comforting.
You were the only thing that was saving me
Emotional dependence on the person who provided comfort.
And now I'm lost, I feel so alone
Feeling isolated and alone after the person's departure.
But would you wanna try again?
Expressing a desire to rekindle the relationship despite past pain.
