I Remember
Ady Suleiman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought that we
Had something special like ice and tea
Compatible despite their ethnicity and differences
They were meant to be
That tastes so sweet
Lemon and peach
I'm so sorry I do not believe in them
I keep on thinking about what we had and how stupid i've been
Drama queen always overthinking
When i should have been listening to whats true
And pursued something new
But with you
Don't know why i find it so difficult to do [?]
I stole my cellphone falling in two[?]
Love with someone so beautiful [?]
Someone beautiful

I remember when we were crushing
Now i'm writing love songs
About how we were once
If I ever knew that was something
Maybe i'll sing these words
To you girl [?]

Looking back i realise
I had something that these other guys
Will never get in their life
And I took you for granted
I apologise

I didn't know what I had until it was gone
Cus my mind was still young
But i'm grateful for your love
Cus now I know at least there's one
You can fall in love with
Care for and see the world with
I don't even know
Why I did wanna let you go
Drink smoke and dine with
Laugh joke and share a life with
And I don't even know
Oh why i did wanna let you go

I remember when we were crushing
Now i'm writing love songs
About how we were once
If I ever knew that was something
Maybe i'll sing these words
To you girl [?]

Since you and I struggled to find anything alike
We had something special i'm sorry that i couldn't
See that now i was naive at the time
Other things on my mind
Seeking reason
What is the meaning
This life is deceiving
Yeah i know that we weren't perfect
But if it's easy its probably not worth it

I remember when we were crushing
Now i'm writing love songs
About how we were once
If I ever knew that was something
Maybe i'll sing these words
To you my love [?]

I remember when we were crushing
Now i'm writing love songs
About how we were once
If I ever knew that was something




Maybe i'll sing these words
To you my love [?]

Overall Meaning

In "I Remember," Ady Suleiman reflects on a past relationship and acknowledges that he took his partner for granted. He starts by admitting that he never thought that they had something special, but in hindsight, their differences made them compatible, much like lemon and peach in a sweet iced tea. He expresses his regret at not believing in their relationship and thinking about what they had instead of pursuing it. Ady acknowledges his tendency to overthink and become a drama queen, preventing him from listening to the truth and pursuing something new. He admits his mistakes, apologizing for taking his partner for granted and realizing what he lost after it was gone.


The chorus repeats the title, "I Remember," as Ady reflects on their past crush, now writing love songs about what they once had. He wonders if he’ll ever sing those songs to his former partner and reminds himself of what he had with her. He recognizes that he had something with her that other guys will never have in their life, but he didn't appreciate it.


Ady realizes that he was naive at the time and had other things on his mind, preventing him from seeing the special connection they had. But he acknowledges that he wants to drink, smoke, dine, laugh, joke, and share a life with her now that he realizes what he lost. The song ends with Ady admitting his affection and calling his former partner, "my love."
