Lyrics
Take it back four years ago
Reflecting on events from four years ago.
When I couldn't go anywhere without you
Expressing dependence on someone for companionship.
I don't know how we broke the flow
Uncertain about the cause of a disruption in the relationship.
But I gotta say, I'm forever grateful for you
Despite the past issues, feeling eternal gratitude for the person.
For all the times that
Referencing various moments.
That you taught me
Acknowledging the teaching role of the person in the relationship.
For all the times that
Emphasizing the impact of guidance received.
That you helped me see
Highlighting moments of clarity provided by the person.
For all the times that
Recalling instances of support and assistance.
That you got me through
Expressing gratitude for getting through challenging times together.
I'm sorry, but I'm grateful for you
Despite any apologies, maintaining gratitude for the person.
I'll always love you
Affirming enduring love for the person.
I'll always love you
Reiterating the declaration of eternal love.
I'll always love you
Further emphasizing everlasting love.
And I'll always love you
Continuing to express unwavering love.
You, you, no one else but
Specifically addressing the person with exclusive affection.
You, you, you
Repeating exclusive affection towards the person.
Oh
An interjection expressing emotion.
Swear there will come a better day
Hopeful anticipation for a brighter future.
You'll meet a girl who can say, "Forever be my baby"
Envisioning a lasting commitment with someone else in the future.
By then, I hope you see me through
Expressing the desire for future recognition and gratitude.
And you're grateful for all the things I've taught you
Expecting appreciation for the lessons taught in the past.
For all the times that
Acknowledging personal teaching moments in the relationship.
That I let you teach
Highlighting the reciprocity of teaching within the relationship.
For all the times that
Recalling instances of providing assistance in understanding.
That I helped you see
Emphasizing moments of shared clarity and insight.
For all the times that
Referencing support that aided the partner in overcoming challenges.
I got you to breathe
Stressing the importance of shared breathing moments.
Baby, be grateful for me cuz
Encouraging the partner to be grateful for the speaker.
I'll always love you
Reiterating enduring love from the speaker's perspective.
I'll always love you
Continuing to express perpetual love.
And I'll always love you
Affirming unchanging love.
I'll always love you
Repeating the sentiment of everlasting love.
You, you, you
Reiterating exclusive affection towards the person.
No one else but
Further emphasizing exclusive affection towards the person.
You, you, you
Concluding with exclusive affection towards the person.
