To The Boys I've Loved Before
Love's Lessons Learned: A Journey Through Past Hearts
Lyrics
The first boy that I ever loved has finally settled down
The first boy has settled down, found love, and a house on the edge of town.
And I heard he's finally found the one and a house on the edge of town
Confirmation that the first boy has found "the one" and a home.
And yeah I hope your happy, yeah I really do
Expressing genuine happiness for the first boy's settled life.
And I'm just glad you found someone that's just perfect for you
Grateful that the first boy found someone perfect for him.
The second boy I ever loved thought I was too in love
The second boy didn't reciprocate the narrator's love, causing emotional pain.
And he never gave me the time of day and it kind of tore me up
The second boy ignored the narrator, leading to emotional distress.
Yeah he thought I was crazy and I just swear I'm not
Clarifying that the narrator is not crazy despite the second boy's perception.
Well maybe just a little but it dang sure ain't a lot yeah
Admitting a slight quirkiness but emphasizing it's not significant.
To the boys I've loved before
Introduction to a recurring theme, addressing the boys the narrator has loved before.
I'd like to just thank the good Lord
Expressing gratitude to God for the relationships not working out.
For not letting it work and yeah it hurt at the time
Acknowledging the pain when relationships failed in the past.
And yeah I cried and thought I'd die but I'm alright
Recalling past heartbreak and emotional turmoil but asserting current well-being.
Yeah thanks for showing me that I deserve so much more
Recognizing personal worth and deserving more in relationships.
Yeah to the boys I've loved before
Reiteration of gratitude for lessons learned from past relationships.
The third boy that I ever loved has moved to the Lone Star State
The third boy moved away without knowing the narrator's feelings.
And he probably never knew it cause we didn't even date
Emphasizing that the narrator and the third boy never dated.
Cause yeah I never told him, told him how I felt
The narrator never confessed feelings to the third boy.
But he looks happy in pictures now with somebody else
The third boy seems happy with someone else in current pictures.
To the boys I've loved before
Repetition of gratitude for failed relationships with the third boy.
I'd like to just thank the good Lord
Gratitude to God for the third boy relationship not working out.
For not letting it work and yeah it hurt at the time
Acknowledging past pain but expressing present resilience.
And yeah I cried and thought I'd die but I'm alright
Reflecting on past emotional struggles but asserting current well-being.
Yeah thanks for showing me that I deserve so much more
Thankful for realizing personal worth and deserving better.
Yeah to the boys I've loved before
Reiterating gratitude for lessons learned from the third boy.
And when I finally meet that boy that I'm gonna love forever
Anticipation for a future, lasting love without dwelling on past relationships.
Will I think about those boys I've loved probably… never
Speculating that the narrator might not think about past loves with the future one.
To the boys I've loved before
Repeating gratitude for lessons learned from all previous relationships.
I'd like to just thank the good Lord
Expressing gratitude to God for the overall lessons from past relationships.
For not letting it work and yeah it hurt at the time
Acknowledging past pain while expressing current emotional resilience.
And yeah I cried and thought I'd die but I'm alright
Reflecting on past emotional struggles but asserting current well-being.
Yeah thanks for showing me that I deserve so much more
Thankful for realizing personal worth and deserving better.
Yeah to the boys I've loved before
Reiterating gratitude for lessons learned from all past relationships.
Yeah to the boys I've loved before
Final acknowledgment and appreciation for all boys loved before.
