When You Were Mine
Lost Love Chronicles: When You Were Mine
Lyrics
Maybe you got soft
Maybe you became emotionally vulnerable or less resilient.
Flew out the door on the breeze
Left quickly and effortlessly, carried away by the wind.
Maybe you just got lost
Suggesting a possibility of losing direction or purpose.
On the way back home.
Lost during the journey back home.
On the way back home to me.
Expressing a desire for the person to return home.
Maybe we're just pretending
Considering the relationship might be a facade or not genuine.
And maybe I don't mind
Indicating a potential acceptance or lack of concern.
So, now that it's ending
Recognizing the conclusion of the relationship.
I don't wanna know
Choosing ignorance about the details of the breakup.
Was it all a waste of time?
Questioning if the relationship was a valuable experience.
It's the end of the world
Using a dramatic metaphor for the emotional impact of the breakup.
It's the last taste of wine
Describing the final moments of pleasure or satisfaction.
When you were,
Reflecting on the past when the person was still part of the speaker's life.
When you were,
-When you were mine,
-You were lost.
Emphasizing the person's state of being lost during that time.
I was blind and we swore it was time
Recalling a time when the speaker was oblivious, and both agreed it was the right time.
When you were,
Repeating the sentiment that the past relationship was a waste of time.
When you were,
-When you were
-My waste of time.
Reiterating the idea that the relationship was not meaningful.
Waste of time
Emphasizing the perception of the relationship as a waste of time.
So, I wrote one more story
Creating another narrative or perspective on the situation.
I just don't know how it ends
Uncertainty about the outcome of the story.
About all the boys you're seeing
Acknowledging the presence of other romantic interests.
The ones that you
Describing the ambiguity of these connections being labeled as friends.
That you call your friends.
-This nightmare keeps repeating
Expressing a feeling of being stuck in a recurring and distressing situation.
We'll never get to the end
Anticipating no resolution to the ongoing troubles.
Of this fire we're feeding
Highlighting the destructive nature of the intense emotions in the relationship.
The hottest love has the coldest end.
Suggesting that passionate love often ends in a cold and abrupt manner.
From the start of it all to the end of the line
Reflecting on the entire timeline of the relationship.
When you were,
Recapturing the sentiment of the person being lost during the relationship.
When you were,
-When you were mine,
-You were lost.
Reiterating the speaker's blindness during that time.
I was blind and we swore it was time
Recalling the mutual agreement that it was the right time to end the relationship.
When you were
Repeating the idea that the past relationship was a waste of time.
When you were
-When you were
-My waste of time.
Reemphasizing the belief that the relationship was not meaningful.
Waste of time
Continuing to label the relationship as a waste of time.
Waste of time,
-Waste of time
-Waste of time.
-From the start of it all to the end of the line
Reflecting again on the entirety of the relationship from start to finish.
When you were,
Reiterating the sentiment of the person being lost during the relationship.
When you were
-When you were mine,
-You were lost.
Reiterating the speaker's blindness during that time.
I was blind and we swore it was time
Recalling the mutual agreement that it was the right time to end the relationship.
When you were,
Repeating the idea that the past relationship was a waste of time.
When you were,
-When you were
-My waste of time.
Reemphasizing the belief that the relationship was not meaningful.
Waste of time,
Continuing to label the relationship as a waste of time.
Waste of time,
-Waste of time,
-Waste of time.
