You Were Loved
Gryffin Lyrics

I hope that you finally found it all (it all, it all)
I hope that you have ultimately discovered everything that you ever desired, encompassing all aspects of life.

All the things that you said that you needed after all (after all)
All the desires and necessities that you expressed, which you realized were essential in the end.

All those times we had, they left a mark (mark, mark)
All the moments we shared together, they made a lasting impression on me.

And I know life goes on but I miss you in the dark
Although I understand that life continues, there is still a part of me that longs for you, especially during lonely times.

Days turn to years, turn to stories we tell about
As time passes, days transform into years, becoming the tales we recount.

All of the good times and times that were hell when
These stories include the enjoyable moments as well as the challenging ones when

We were young (we were young), we were broke (we were broke)
We were youthful and financially struggling,

We were chasin' a fire and watchin' it turn to smoke (smoke)
We were in pursuit of a passion, witnessing it vanish into thin air.

And some of us just let go (oh)
And a few of us simply decided to release it,

You got lost (you got lost), had enough (had enough)
You became misguided, feeling overwhelmed and weary,

Time, it did what it does and turned what you had to rust
Time, as it naturally does, caused the deterioration of what you once possessed,

But wherever you are, understand me
However, irrespective of your current whereabouts, please comprehend my message

You were loved
You were deeply cared for

(Loved, loved, ooh)
(Loved, loved, ooh)

I hope that our paths, they cross again (again, again, again)
I hold the hope that our journeys will intersect once more, repeatedly

'Cause I'm dyin' to know all the places you have been (oh)
Because I am extremely curious to learn about all the locations you have experienced

Some day when the future meets the past
At some point in the future, when the present meets the memories of the past,

That's when we'll make up for all of the years that went so fast, mm
That is the moment when we will compensate for the swift passage of time

'Cause days became years became stories we tell
Because the passing of days evolved into years, transforming into narratives we recount

That I know you can't deal but here's wishin' you well
I understand that you may struggle to cope with these memories, but I genuinely wish you the best

You got lost (you got lost), had enough (had enough)
You became misguided, feeling overwhelmed and weary,

Time, it did what it does and turned what we had to rust
Time, as it naturally does, caused the deterioration of what we once possessed,

But wherever you are, you should know (ooh)
Nevertheless, wherever you may be, it is important for you to understand (ooh)

You were loved
You were genuinely cherished

(Loved, loved, ooh)
(Loved, loved, ooh)

(Loved, loved, ooh)
(Loved, loved, ooh)

You were loved
You were deeply loved

(Loved, loved, ooh)
(Loved, loved, ooh)

(Loved, loved, ooh)
(Loved, loved, ooh)
