It Was Love
Cherishing Imperfections: It Was Love by Maria Mena
Lyrics
Do you think God forgot?
Expressing doubt or questioning if God has overlooked or neglected something.
I know He's got a lot
Acknowledging that God has many responsibilities or concerns.
It seems that I've run out of luck
Feeling unlucky or unfortunate in the current situation.
I'm drinking from an empty cup
Metaphorically stating emotional emptiness or dissatisfaction.
Do you think God forgot?
Reiterating the doubt or questioning if God has forgotten.
If I could do it all again
Reflecting on hypothetical scenarios or choices in life.
I wouldn't sweat the small things
Expressing a desire to focus on more important aspects of life.
I'd cling to all my friends
Valuing relationships and connections with friends.
And tell 'em that I love them
Expressing love and appreciation to friends if given a second chance.
If I could do it all again
Reiterating the desire to make different choices if given the opportunity.
Think about the times we spent worrying
Reflecting on past moments of unnecessary worry.
'Bout the little things, such waste
Considering the insignificance of trivial matters in retrospect.
(How I never had enough)
Expressing dissatisfaction with never feeling content or fulfilled.
(And how I always want too much)
Acknowledging a tendency to desire more than what is needed.
Looking back I'd even wanna spend
Expressing a willingness to endure difficult times for the sake of a relationship.
The worst of days with him again
Willingness to relive challenging moments if shared with a loved one.
As long as I'm with you
Affirming the importance of being with a loved one.
It wasn't perfect
Acknowledging imperfections in the relationship.
And sometimes it hurts
Acknowledging that love can be painful at times.
But it was love, oh
Stating that despite imperfections and pain, the relationship was love.
Oh, it was worth it
Asserting that the challenges were worth enduring for the sake of love.
Our time on earth 'cause it was us, oh
Affirming the significance of their shared time on earth as a couple.
I'm not gonna lie
Admitting a fear of death.
I am afraid to die
Expressing the feeling of having unfinished business or unfulfilled responsibilities.
I still have things to do
Asserting the ongoing love and commitment to the partner.
Like I'm not done loving you
Reaffirming that the expression of love is not complete or finished.
No, I'm not gonna lie
Reiterating the honesty about the fear of death.
But if this is the end
Contemplating the possibility of impending death.
Then promise me you'll love again
Requesting a promise from the partner to love again after the speaker's death.
And tell her about me
Instructing the partner to share memories of the speaker with a new love.
And how I set you free
Emphasizing that the speaker's love allowed the partner to be free.
If this is the end
Reiterating the contemplation of the possibility of impending death.
It wasn't perfect
Reaffirming that the relationship had its flaws but was still love.
And sometimes it hurts
Acknowledging the presence of pain in the relationship.
But it was love, oh
Reaffirming that the challenges were worth it because it was love.
Oh, it was worth it
Asserting that the shared time on earth as a couple was valuable.
Our time on earth
Emphasizing the significance of 'us' in the shared time on earth.
'Cause it was us, oh
Reiterating the idea that the shared time on earth was about 'us.'
