The way we had it
Rediscovering Love: Reflecting on the Past with Paul-Bryan's 'The Way We Had It'
Lyrics
It's been a year since us were no more
Reflecting on a year since the relationship ended
Remember the days we laughed we loved
Nostalgia for the joyful and loving moments shared
I thought I moved on 'til the night we talked
Realization of unresolved emotions during a conversation
It's when I knew you're the first girl I loved
Confirmation of the enduring love for the person
Now every night I've been thinking
Contemplation about rekindling the relationship
If I should try again or be stuck with the feeling
Inner conflict about trying again or dealing with emotions
You're happier when I'm not around
Acknowledgment of the other person's happiness without them
'cause I would tear up those wounds
Awareness of the potential emotional impact on the other
That I did to you
Recognition of past actions causing emotional wounds
Girl I miss, I miss the way we had it
Expressing a longing for the past relationship
I regret, regret not saying I love you
Regret about not expressing love when it was possible
If I could make you, make you still believe it
Desire to make the other person believe in love again
I would hold you in my arms forever
Expressing a wish for a lasting embrace with the person
I've got no excuse I think I was afraid
Admitting fear as a reason for past mistakes
Of being in love I'd never felt this way
Reflecting on the unfamiliarity of intense love
Now that I've grown I see my mistakes
Recognizing personal growth and realization of errors
All I can hope is that it's not too late
Hoping for a chance to reconcile despite past mistakes
Girl I miss, I miss the way we had it
Reiteration of the longing for the past relationship
I regret, regret not saying I love you
Continued regret for not expressing love in the past
If I could make you, make you still believe it
Expressing a desire to revive belief in love
I would hold you in my arms forever
Yearning for an enduring embrace with the person
I miss the way we had it, we had it
Repetition of missing the past relationship
I miss the way we had it, we had it
Further emphasis on missing the past relationship
Girl I miss, I miss the way we had it
Reiteration of the longing for the past relationship
I regret, regret not saying I love you
Continued regret for not expressing love in the past
If I could make you, make you still believe it
Expressing a desire to revive belief in love
I would hold you in my arms forever
Desire to hold the person in an everlasting embrace
