Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gave me rainbows and butterflies
We did enjoy our happiness?
When our love was over
I was such a mess
I smiled at you
And you smiled back
There's no turning back
You said you loved me
And I did too
Now though it's over
I still love you
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
All my friends said you break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start
I tried to fight it
I tried so hard
And every day
I pray to god
That you and me were meant to be
But you had another
You had a lover
And now is gone
I don't know why
I feel like crying
Just want to die
I can't look at you
And you know why
No, I tried so hard
To catch your eye
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
All my friends said you break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
All my friends said you break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start

Remember when I caught your eye
Reflecting back to the moment when I first caught your attention
You gave me rainbows and butterflies
You made me feel incredibly happy and optimistic
We did enjoy our happiness?
Was our joy and love genuine and pure?
When our love was over
Recalling the end of our relationship
I was such a mess
I was extremely hurt and emotional
I smiled at you
I expressed happiness towards you
And you smiled back
You reciprocated my happiness
That's when I knew
At that moment I realized
There's no turning back
Our relationship had progressed too far to go back to how things were before
You said you loved me
You expressed your love towards me
And I did too
I reciprocated your love
Now though it's over
However, our relationship has come to an end
I still love you
Despite everything, I still have strong feelings for you
You're in my mind
I think about you all the time
You're in my heart
I still have strong emotions and affection for you
I wish I knew right from the start
I regret not realizing your true nature earlier
All my friends said you break my heart
My friends warned me that you would hurt me
A heartbreaker right from the start
You were always someone who would cause heartache and pain
I tried to fight it
I attempted to resist my feelings for you
I tried so hard
I put in a lot of effort to avoid falling for you
And every day
Every single day
I pray to god
I pleaded with a higher power
That you and me were meant to be
That we were destined to be together
But you had another
However, you had another lover
You had a lover
You were already committed to someone else
And now is gone
Now that our relationship is over
I don't know why
I don't understand the reason
I feel like crying
I have an overwhelming urge to cry
Just want to die
I feel so distraught that I wish to no longer be alive
I can't look at you
I cannot bear to look at you
And you know why
You understand the reason why
