What We Had
Nostalgic Echoes: Sophie Reynolds' 'What We Had'
Lyrics
I have a habit of dwelling on the past
I tend to focus on past events.
Cause I remember all the good
I recall the positive aspects.
And I remember all the bad
I recall both the good and the bad.
I worry about moments that I might've missed
I worry about missed opportunities.
Spend time on problems I never could've fixed
I spend time on unsolvable problems.
You say the good doesn't outweigh the bad
You suggest that positive aspects don't outweigh the negative.
Maybe this love is just something we had
This love might be a past experience.
But for all of the time that I wished things were different
I wished for different circumstances, but time makes me miss it.
I look back in time and I can't help but miss it
Reflecting on the past, I miss it despite my wishes.
What we had
Reflecting on what we had.
I miss what we had
I miss the past love.
And your car's still parked in front of your house
Your car remains a reminder in front of your house.
Every time I pass I wanna stop and get out
Every passing triggers a desire to stop and reminisce.
You used to tease me for getting to attached
You teased me for getting too attached.
Standing by your car it all comes rushing back
Memories rush back when standing by your car.
Maybe the good doesn't outweigh the bad
Positive aspects may not outweigh the negative.
Maybe this love is just something we had
Speculation that this love is a past experience.
But for all of the time that I wished things were different
I wished for different circumstances, but time makes me miss it.
I look back in time and I can't help but miss it
Reflecting on the past, I miss it despite my wishes.
What we had
Reflecting on what we had.
I miss what we had
I miss the past love.
Now I'm biting my nails again
I'm anxious, biting my nails.
And I'm staying up through the A.M.
I stay awake into the early morning.
And I'm writing letters that I'll never send
I write unsent letters.
You say we're broken but we never tried to bend
You claim we're broken, but we never tried to fix things.
Maybe the good doesn't outweigh the bad
Positive aspects may not outweigh the negative.
Maybe this love is just something we had
Speculation that this love is a past experience.
But for all of the time that I wished things were different
I wished for different circumstances, but time makes me miss it.
I look back in time and I can't help but miss it
Reflecting on the past, I miss it despite my wishes.
What we had
Reflecting on what we had.
I miss what we had
I miss the past love.
