As If
Myra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are things
That I never told you
I never had the chance to say it
There is something I wanna tell you
So just listen for a second
Would you listen
Why don’t you listen
Baby could you listen
I love the way
That you would hold me
The way you pulled
Me close to you
When you're away
I’m feeling lonely
Yeah you’ve tried
To keep me happy
Made me smile everyday
I wanna feel your
Lips on mines
You should just love
On me one last time
Only if we could
But this didn’t
End so good
Only if we could
But this didn’t end so good
Was it wrong for
Even missing you
I know I couldn’t even help it
The pain got to me so badly
Sadly I’m still trying to fight it
Cuz it ain’t easy I least
I’ll learn to grow from it
Cuz you taught me
It yeah you taught me it
So listen
I love the way
That you would hold me
The way you pulled
Me close to you
When you're away
I’m feeling lonely
Yeah you’ve tried
To keep me happy
Made me smile everyday
I wanna feel your
Lips on mines
You should just love
On me one last time
Only if we could
But this didn’t
End so good
Only if we could
But this didn’t
End so good
5 am kiss me on my forehead
Lay on my bed hold my hand
Till we fall asleep again
Do you remember when
Was you never meant to be for me
Do you agree that there’s no
You and I
But painfully it hurts to say that
I love the way
That you would hold me
The way you pulled
Me close to you
When you're away
I’m feeling lonely
Yeah you’ve tried
To keep me happy
Made me smile everyday
I wanna feel your
Lips on mines
You should just love
On me one last time
Only if we could
But this didn’t
End so good
Only if we could




But this didn’t
End so good

Overall Meaning

The song "As if" by Myra is a poignant and emotive ballad about the lingering pain and longing that a person can feel after a relationship has ended. The opening lines of the song reveal that the singer has held back some sentiments and feelings from their former partner, which they never got the chance to express. As the song progresses, the singer expresses their deep affection and admiration for their ex-partner, particularly their tenderness and ability to make them smile. Even though the relationship has ended, the singer still yearns for their ex's love and touch, as they feel empty and lonely without it. However, the singer knows that they cannot continue hoping for a reconciliation, and they need to learn to move on from the pain they feel, even though it is hard.


The song's chorus beautifully captures what the singer desires, a tender and loving moment with their ex, but they ruefully acknowledge that it didn't end well, meaning that the wish cannot be granted. The song's lyrics also hint at a sense of regret and sadness, with lines like "Was it wrong for even missing you?" and "The pain got to me so badly. Sadly I'm still trying to fight it."


In summary, "As if" is a heartfelt and soulful exploration of heartbreak and longing, which captures the complexity of emotions that often follows the end of a relationship.
