When I Needed You
Love Lost, Lessons Learned: When I Needed You by Malak Baddah
Lyrics
You know what we had
You are aware of what we once had
Thank God I'm done with that
Expressing gratitude that the past situation is over
Now you're back on track
You have moved forward and are on a better path
Just leave that shit in the past
Suggesting to leave past issues behind
Away from me, from me, from me
Emphasizing the need to keep a distance from those issues
Everything reminds me of you, yeah you
Everything around reminds the speaker of a specific person
At least be sorry so I feel there is a reason
Desire for an apology to validate the emotions
And baby it's hilarious what we have been through
Reflecting on the ironic and challenging experiences
And then you talk to me like you know me
Expressing frustration at being spoken to as if known intimately
Remember you was gone when I needed you
Recalling the absence of support when needed the most
You saw how I fell down
Noting the observation of personal struggles
Had no one to love
Experiencing a lack of love and support
Crying every night cause I miss you
Expressing emotional pain and longing for the person
But all you did was take your bag and travel
Highlighting the abandonment during a difficult time
It makes me sad to see you
Feeling sorrowful witnessing the other person's state
Like this so don't cry baby, no (like this)
Encouraging the person not to cry and expressing empathy
You wish you were the one that left me
Imagining the person regretting leaving the speaker
So don't cry baby, no yeah
Reiterating the advice not to cry
And baby it's hilarious what we have been through
Reflecting again on the challenging experiences with some irony
And then you talk to me like you know me
Expressing frustration at being spoken to intimately despite past issues
Remember you was gone when I needed you
Reiterating the absence of support during a time of need
You saw how I fell down
Reiterating the observation of personal struggles
Had no one to love
Reiterating the experience of lacking love and support
Crying every night cause I miss you
Reiterating the emotional pain and longing for the person
But all you did was take your bag and travel
Reiterating the abandonment during a difficult time
You was gone when I needed you
Highlighting again the absence of support when needed the most
