Ten Ten
Reflections of Past Love: Matt Cardle's 'Ten Ten'
Lyrics
Oh, it was fun
Reflecting on a past experience that was enjoyable
Playing with a loaded gun
Engaging in risky behavior or relationships
Could point it at anyone
Having the potential to harm anyone involved
But it was my time
Recognizing a specific moment as one's own
In the firing line
Facing challenges or criticism directly
Oh, the jokes
Humor and hidden meanings in conversations
Between the lines
Conversations filled with deception or smoke (metaphorically)
It filled with smokes
Laughter despite difficulties
We laughed until we choked
Enjoying moments even when they are challenging
But we stole time
Stealing moments of happiness or time together
When you were mine
Reminiscing about a past relationship
I miss you
Expressing feelings of longing or nostalgia
And I wish you well
Wishing well for the person despite separation
Oh, I miss you
Continued expression of missing someone
But you wouldn't tell
Acknowledging the person's reluctance to communicate
I will cry for you no more
Declaring an end to emotional pain and no more tears
Scars healed up nice
Physical and emotional wounds have healed
You won't hurt me anymore
Claiming immunity from further emotional harm
Time has blunt your knife
Time has lessened the impact of emotional pain
I cried my river dry
Overcoming intense emotional experiences
I told your mum
Apologizing to someone close for mistakes made
I was sorry for the things I've done
Expressing regret and taking responsibility for actions
I got tangled up and came undone
Feeling entangled or overwhelmed, leading to a breakdown
But it was showtime
Performance mode, expected to shine despite personal struggles
I was supposed to shine
Having an obligation to succeed despite personal challenges
So please
Requesting understanding and recognition of the person's importance
Just know you meant the world to me
Expressing deep emotional connection and significance
And know that you will always be
Committing to keeping the person in mind always
On my mind
Emphasizing the enduring impact of the person on the speaker's thoughts
'Til the end of time
Extended commitment to remembering the person
I miss you
Repetition of missing the person and wishing them well
And I wish you well
Continued good wishes despite the person's silence
Oh, I miss you
Reiteration of missing the person and the difficulty of communication
But you wouldn't tell
Acknowledging the person's unwillingness to share feelings
I will cry for you no more
Declaring an end to crying over the person
Scars healed up nice
Reiterating the healing of scars and emotional recovery
You won't hurt me anymore
Claiming immunity from further emotional harm
Time has blunt your knife
Time has diminished the person's ability to cause pain
I cried my river dry
Repeating the idea of overcoming intense emotional experiences
