If You Wrote Me A Song
Melancholic Reflections: If You Wrote Me A Song by Maddy Davis
Lyrics
I’ve told you for a while
I've been expressing this sentiment to you for a while.
I wish we had met at a different time
I wish our meeting had occurred at a different point in time.
I’ve told you for a while
Reiteration of the desire for a different timing in the relationship.
I feel so inspired by you
I find you incredibly inspiring.
I’ve told you for a while
Repetition of the expressed desire for a different timing in the relationship.
I wish we had met at a different time
Expressing a wish for a different timing in the relationship due to self-discovery issues.
because I don’t know myself
Uncertainty about personal identity.
I’ve got some fucked up mental health
Acknowledgment of struggling with mental health challenges.
and I take you for granted I know
Admission of taking the partner for granted.
still you loving me harder than i’m used to though
Acknowledging the partner's unconditional love despite being taken for granted.
and I take you for granted I know
Repetition of taking the partner for granted.
and I take you for granted I know
Further acknowledgment of taking the partner for granted.
if you wrote me a song
Imagining the partner expressing feelings through a song.
that’s what you’d say
Describing the content of the hypothetical song.
that’s what you sing to me every day
Emphasizing that the partner's sentiments would be a daily expression through song.
if you wrote me a song
Repetition of the imagined scenario of receiving a song from the partner.
if you wrote me a song (x2)
Reiteration of the desire for a song from the partner.
you know I can’t help how I turned out
Expressing a lack of control over personal outcomes.
I try my best to be honest
Attempting to be truthful and sincere in actions.
I tried my best not to hurt you
Effort to avoid causing harm to the partner.
but at the end of the day that’s all I did
Acknowledgment of unintentionally causing hurt despite efforts.
at the end of the day thats all i did
Repetition of causing hurt as a reflection at the end of the day.
if you wrote me a song
Imagining the partner expressing feelings through a song (repeated).
that’s what you’d say
Describing the content of the hypothetical song (repeated).
that’s what you sing to me every day
Emphasizing that the partner's sentiments would be a daily expression through song (repeated).
if you wrote me a song
Repetition of the imagined scenario of receiving a song from the partner (repeated).
if you wrote me a song (x2)
Reiteration of the desire for a song from the partner (repeated).
