But We Lost It
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who the hell are they anyways
I wanna know where does love go to die
Is it some sad empty castle in the sky?
Did we just shoot too high and spoil like wine?
You walked by and it's like our bodies never touch
No love, you hold me close, but I don't fell much
We had a thing but we lost it
One more go, I kinda thought if we took it slow
It might be easier for us, yeah for us to know
I know we never been quite here before
I wish I knew it when we lost it
You used to try to wake the beast in me
There's still a very sleepy part of me inside
I've been waiting to come alive
You stared into my eyes and turned to stone
And now I'm living all alone
In these four walls
There's a stranger, he's lying in my bed
Kinda blank like the thoughts living in my head
This is the one that I felt that I knew so well
I think we had it but we lost it
I'm still the girl that you chased all around the world
I haven't changed, just replaced all the chains with pearls
I want the same things we did back then
I know we had it but we lost it
(Oh, oh)
The bone breaks (oh, oh)
It grows back stronger (oh, oh)
Oh, the bone breaks (oh, oh)
It grows back stronger (oh, oh)
The bone breaks (oh, oh)
Yeah it grows back stronger (oh, oh)
Oh, the bone breaks (oh, oh)
You walked by, and it's like our bodies never touch
No love, you hold me close, but I don't feel much
I cry, maybe time isn't on our side
We had a thing but we lost it
One more go, I kinda thought if we took it slow
It might be easier for us, yeah for us to know
I know we never been quite here before
I wish I knew it when we lost it
Yeah, I wish I knew it when we lost it

Line by Line Meaning
They say everything is temporary
People often say that nothing lasts forever
Who the hell are they anyways
Who are these people to make such a claim?
I wanna know where does love go to die
I'm curious where love ends up when it dies
Is it some sad empty castle in the sky?
Is love's final destination a lonely, abandoned place?
Did we just shoot too high and spoil like wine?
Did we expect too much out of our relationship and ultimately ruin it?
You walked by and it's like our bodies never touch
When you pass by me, there's no longer any spark between us
No love, you hold me close, but I don't fell much
Even though you hold me tight, I don't really feel anything
I cry, maybe time isn't on our side
I shed tears thinking that maybe our time has run out
We had a thing but we lost it
We had something special, but unfortunately, it's gone
One more go, I kinda thought if we took it slow
I believed that if we gave it another shot, but this time slower, it might work out
It might be easier for us, yeah for us to know
Maybe taking things slowly would help us understand where we stand with each other
I know we never been quite here before
We've never experienced a situation like this before
I wish I knew it when we lost it
I regret not realizing what we had until it was too late
You used to try to wake the beast in me
You once challenged and inspired the strongest part of me
There's still a very sleepy part of me inside
Even though I seem to have lost my spark, there is still a resilient part of me inside
I've been waiting to come alive
I'm still waiting for something to reignite the passion I once had
You stared into my eyes and turned to stone
I felt you once looked at me with love, but now you seem indifferent
And now I'm living all alone in these four walls
I feel lonely and trapped within the confines of my home
There's a stranger, he's lying in my bed
Now there's someone next to me, but it feels like a stranger instead of the person I once knew
Kinda blank like the thoughts living in my head
The person next to me seems distant, and I feel like I've lost my thoughts too
This is the one that I felt that I knew so well
This person was once so familiar to me
I think we had it but we lost it
I believe that what we shared was special, but we failed to keep it
I'm still the girl that you chased all around the world
I'm still the same person you pursued and loved before
I haven't changed, just replaced all the chains with pearls
I'm still me, but I've transformed my negative experiences into something positive
I want the same things we did back then
I still desire the same things as before
The bone breaks (oh, oh)
Sometimes things fall apart
It grows back stronger (oh, oh)
But sometimes, when they're rebuilt, they're stronger
Yeah it grows back stronger (oh, oh)
So although our relationship broke, there's still hope for something stronger
Yeah, I wish I knew it when we lost it
Once again, I wish I knew how valuable what we had was before it was gone
