Lyrics
There’s a time it was insanity
Reflecting on a past period of madness or chaos
We never got the chance to be complete
Regret for not achieving completeness or fulfillment
They said ‘we could tear this whole house down’
Discussion of the potential destruction of a relationship or home
And we would never miss a thing
Emphasizing the idea that destruction wouldn't be noticed
My god I should’ve kept you by my side
Regret for not keeping someone close
Won’t you come back to me
Plea for the person to return
We had our time, the rest was history
Acknowledgment of a shared past, considering it as historical
And even when you’re gone, it’s like you never leave
The person's presence is enduring, even when physically absent
I wanna show you how much you meant to me
Expressing a desire to demonstrate the importance of the person
You’re my favourite tragedy
Labeling the person as the speaker's "favourite tragedy"
You had me speechless since a while ago
Being rendered speechless by the person for a significant duration
I should’ve treasured every single ‘hello’
Regret for not appreciating every greeting from the person
They said ‘we could tear this whole house down’
Reiteration of the potential destruction and its insignificance
And we would never miss a thing
Reemphasizing the idea that destruction wouldn't be noticed
My god I should’ve kept you by my side
Regret for not keeping someone close (similar to line 7)
Won’t you come back to me
Plea for the person to return (similar to line 8)
We had our time, the rest was history
Acknowledgment of a shared past, considering it as historical (similar to line 11)
And even when you’re gone, it’s like you never leave
The person's presence is enduring, even when physically absent (similar to line 12)
I wanna show you how much you meant to me
Expressing a desire to demonstrate the importance of the person (similar to line 13)
You’re my favourite tragedy
Reiteration of labeling the person as the speaker's "favourite tragedy" (similar to line 14)
You’ll always be my favourite tragedy
Affirmation that the person will always be the speaker's preferred tragic experience
My favourite tragedy
Repetition of the label "favourite tragedy"
My favourite tragedy
-My favourite tragedy
-Yeah baby come back to me
Invitation or plea for the person to return
