Lyrics
You lit the fire
You ignited the passion or started something significant
Then drank the water
Then, you quenched or dampened that intensity
You slammed that door and left me standing all alone
You abruptly ended the relationship, leaving the speaker alone
We wrote the story
Together, we created our narrative
We turned the pages
We progressed through time, experiencing different phases
You changed the end like everybody said you would
You changed the outcome, as anticipated by others
I should have seen it coming
I should have foreseen the outcome
It should have sent me running
It should have warned me to leave
That's what I get for loving you
This is the consequence of loving you
If I had a time machine
If I had the ability to go back in time
And if life was a movie scene
Comparing life to a movie, expressing a desire to change the script
I'd rewind and I'd tell me run
I would advise my past self to escape the situation
We were never meant to be
We were never destined to be together
So if I had a time machine
If I had a time-travel ability
I'd go back and I'd tell me run, run
I would instruct my past self to run away
I got your letters
I received your written apologies
I got your words
I received your spoken words
I stacked them high and lit them all and let 'em burn
I burned and discarded them, indicating their insignificance
Your broken sorrys don't mean a thing
Your apologies hold no value
You made that bed
You created the problems, now deal with the consequences
Good luck falling back asleep
Mocking the difficulty of moving on after the betrayal
I should have seen it coming
I should have anticipated the outcome
It should have sent me running
It should have prompted me to leave
That's what I get for loving you
This is the consequence of loving you
If I had a time machine
If I had the ability to go back in time
And if life was a movie scene
Comparing life to a movie, expressing a desire to change the script
I'd rewind and I'd tell me run
I would advise my past self to escape the situation
We were never meant to be
We were never destined to be together
So if I had a time machine
If I had a time-travel ability
I'd go back and I'd tell me run, run
I would instruct my past self to run away
Oh your love it got me higher
Your love elevated me, but it also led to my downfall
Then it drove me up the wall
It caused emotional distress
But the higher up you go
As you ascend in love, the potential for a greater fall increases
The further you will fall
The higher you climb in love, the harder the fall
Run
An imperative to run away from the relationship
If I had a time machine
If I had the ability to go back in time
And if life was a movie scene
Comparing life to a movie, expressing a desire to change the script
I'd rewind and I'd tell me run
I would advise my past self to escape the situation
We were never meant to be
We were never destined to be together
So if I had a time machine
If I had a time-travel ability
I'd go back and I'd tell me run, run, run
I would instruct my past self to run away urgently
