Even If
Eyre Ella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what I did
What I became
But even you
You did some damage
With all of those things
That you used to say
The bigger deal
Is smaller now
Smaller than it was before
But baby now I figured out
That all that we could talk about
Was wanting more
But even if we'll never find the time
And even if we'll never get it right
I know I am glad I was able
To be by your side
And even if the stars can't align
You know where I am
You know where I am
We've never had it easy
You have your ways
And I sure have mine
And only you could ever see it
See through the walls
That I hide behind
It's funny how
The bigger deal
It's nothing now
Nothing how it was back then
If only I have realized
That all that we have compromised
Was all we had
But even if we'll never find the time
And even if we'll never get it right
I know I am glad I was able
To be by your side
And even if the stars can't align
You know where I am
You know where I am
But all that could matter
Is still somewhere here
The pieces were shattered
Some are still near
I said I would never
Hold on to you
But you hold on to me
And even if we'll never find the time
And even if we'll never get it right
I know I am glad I was able
To be by your side
And even if the stars can't align
And even if the stars can't align
The lyrics in Even If by Eyre Ella reflect the complexities of a relationship that started with a lot of promise but gradually deteriorated over time. The singer acknowledges that she took their love for granted and became someone she didn't intend to be. However, she also admits that her partner's actions caused some damage to their bond.
The chorus of the song speaks about their current situation, where they might never find the time or get things right. Despite this, the singer expresses gratitude for being able to be by their partner's side and appreciates the relationship they shared. She acknowledges that it wasn't easy between them, but they had something that was worth holding onto. The song speaks of acceptance, growth, and the potential for something new.
The verse about the pieces still being near, even though they were shattered, is a message that speaks to the idea that despite the problems, they still have some impact on each other. The lyrics convey a sense of quiet acceptance of what has happened and an understanding that they might not be able to fix everything, but they can still hold onto the memory of the relationship they shared.

I took it all for granted
I did not fully appreciate what I had
I know what I did
I recognize my mistakes
What I became
I acknowledge the impact of my actions on myself and others
But even you
You also had a negative effect on me
You did some damage
Your words and behavior hurt me
With all of those things
Your actions and words towards me
That you used to say
The hurtful things you said to me
It's funny how
It's ironic that
The bigger deal
What seemed important
Is smaller now
Is insignificant now
Smaller than it was before
Less important than it used to be
But baby now I figured out
I have come to understand now
That all that we could talk about
The only thing we had in common to talk about
Was wanting more
The desire for something better or different
We've never had it easy
Our relationship has never been easy
You have your ways
You have your unique style
And I sure have mine
I also have my unique style
And only you could ever see it
You were the only one who understood me
See through the walls
To see beyond what I show on the outside
That I hide behind
My emotional walls and barriers
It's nothing now
It's not important anymore
Nothing how it was back then
It has changed a lot from what it used to be
If only I have realized
I wish I had known earlier
That all that we have compromised
What we had to give up to be together
Was all we had
It was everything to us
But all that could matter
The important things
Is still somewhere here
Still present in some way
The pieces were shattered
Our relationship was broken into pieces
Some are still near
Some pieces are still close by
I said I would never
I promised myself that I would never
Hold on to you
Get attached to you again
But you hold on to me
You still have a hold on me
You know where I am
You know how to find me

I took it all for granted
I know what I did
And what I became
But even you
You did some damage
With all of those things
That you used to say
It's funny how the bigger deal
Is smaller now, smaller than it was before
But maybe now I figured out
That all that we could talk about was wanting more
But even if we never find the time, oh
And even if we never get it right
I know I'm glad I was able
To be by your side
And even if the stars can't align
You know where I am
You know where I am
We never had it easy
You have your ways
And I sure have mine
But only you could ever see it
See through the walls
That I hide behind
It's funny how the bigger deal
Is nothing now, nothing how it was back then
But if only I had realised
That all that we would compromise
Was all we had
But even if we never find the time, oh
And even if we never get it right
I know I'm glad I was able
To be by your side
And even if the stars can't align
You know where I am
You know where I am
But all that could matter
Is still somewhere here
The pieces were shattered
But some are still near
And I said I would never
Hold on to you
But you hold on to me
And even if we never find the time, oh
And even if we never get it right
I know I'm glad I was able
To be by your side
And even if the stars can't align
Oh, and even if the stars can't align
