Then you handed me the map
To where you buried it
So I could run and get it back
Back, back, back
I wanna know how you're doing
But I don't really want to ask
And I don't think that I could handle that
Handle that
There used to be a time
When you were my only thought, but I
There used to be a time
Now I barely think of you at all
Sometimes I miss your touch, and the
Whispers that made me blush, but I
I guess I don't miss love
If that's what I felt with you
So far from what we knew, but I
Did what I had to do, now I
I hate the colour blue
Cos that's what I felt with you
I remember when the lights went out
And the love I knew was gone
And when you buried it
I tried so hard to get it back
I wanna know how you're doing
But I still don't want to ask
I know her name
And I don't think I could handle knowing more than that
More than that
There used to be a time
When you were my only thought, but I
There used to be a time
Now I don't think of you at all
Sometimes I miss your touch, and the
Whispers that made me blush, but I
I guess I don't miss love
If that's what I felt with you
So far from what we knew, but I
Did what I had to do, now I
I hate the colour blue
Cos that's what I felt with you
I thought our love was so strong
Your voice was my favourite song
But with the blink of an eye
My favourite colour was all a lie
Don't recognise what I see
Your lips now strangers to me
What do you want me to say?
I guess we've said it all anyway
Sometimes I miss your touch, and the
Whispers that made me blush, but I
I guess I don't miss love
If that's what I felt with you
So far from what we knew, but I
Did what I had to do, now I
I can't stand the colour blue, cos
Sometimes I miss your touch, and the
Whispers that made me blush, but I
I guess I don't miss love
If that's what I felt with you
So far from what we knew, but I
Did what I had to do, now I
I hate the colour blue
Cos that's what I felt with you
That's what I felt with you, and I
The lyrics of "What I Felt With You" by Emma Blackery narrate a story of a past romantic relationship that has ended. The singer reminisces about when the other person captured their heart but then handed them a map to where they buried it, suggesting that they played a role in ending the relationship. The repeated phrase "So I could run and get it back" implies that the singer had to work hard to reclaim their own heart after the breakup.
The singer admits that they still have lingering feelings for the other person and wonders how they are doing, but they hesitate to ask out of fear that the other person might be happier without them. This fear indicates that the singer may still have unresolved emotions and is not fully over the relationship. They question whether they could handle the possibility of the other person's happiness.
The lyrics explore the contrast between the past and the present. The singer acknowledges that there was a time when they were consumed by their love for the other person, but now they barely think of them at all. The nostalgia is evident in lines like "Sometimes I miss your touch, and the whispers that made me blush." However, the singer ultimately concludes that they don't miss love if that's what they had experienced with the other person, suggesting that their relationship lacked the depth and fulfillment they desired. The color blue, which is associated with sadness or melancholy, becomes symbolic of the emotions felt in this relationship and is now associated with negative memories.
The lyrics also touch on the realization that the love the singer once believed in was not as strong or genuine as they thought. The line "My favorite color was all a lie" suggests that their perception of the relationship was based on false or superficial aspects. The singer no longer recognizes the person they loved, and their lips have become strangers. The sentiment of "we've said it all anyway" reflects the feeling of closure or reaching the end of a conversation, indicating that there is nothing left to be said between them.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and reflection on a failed relationship. The singer acknowledges the existence of lingering feelings but realizes that the love they felt with the other person was not what they truly desired. The color blue, which was once associated with love, is now disliked or even hated due to the negative experiences associated with that specific relationship.

I remember when you stole my heart
I recall the moment when you took possession of my heart
Then you handed me the map
Afterwards, you provided me with directions
To where you buried it
To the place where you hid it
So I could run and get it back
Enabling me to retrieve it
I wanna know how you're doing
I am curious about your current well-being
But I don't really want to ask
However, I am hesitant to inquire
In case you're happier now
Because I fear that you might be happier without me
And I don't think that I could handle that
I doubt if I could cope with that situation
There used to be a time
There was once a period
When you were my only thought, but I
When you occupied my every thought, but now
There used to be a time
There was once a period
Now I barely think of you at all
Now, I hardly think of you at all
Sometimes I miss your touch, and the
Occasionally, I long for your touch, and the
Whispers that made me blush, but I
The soft spoken words that made me blush, but
I guess I don't miss love
I suppose I do not miss being in love
If that's what I felt with you
If what we had was indeed love
So far from what we knew, but I
So distant from what we once knew, but
Did what I had to do, now I
I did what was necessary, and now
I hate the colour blue
I detest the color blue
Cos that's what I felt with you
Because that's the emotion I associated with you
I remember when the lights went out
I recall the moment the lights extinguished
And the love I knew was gone
And the love I was familiar with had vanished
And when you buried it
And when you concealed it
I tried so hard to get it back
I made immense efforts to retrieve it
I know her name
I am aware of her identity
And I don't think I could handle knowing more than that
And I doubt if I could handle knowing any further details
There used to be a time
There was once a period

I thought our love was so strong
I believed our love was incredibly powerful
Your voice was my favourite song
The sound of your voice was my most cherished melody
But with the blink of an eye
However, in an instant
My favourite colour was all a lie
The color I loved the most turned out to be false
Don't recognise what I see
I do not recognize what I see
Your lips now strangers to me
Your lips, once familiar, are now like those of a stranger
What do you want me to say?
What do you expect me to say?
I guess we've said it all anyway
I suppose we have already said everything there is to say
