Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I wanted that summernight
All I wanted from you
All I swore was nowt but love
Now I must live without you
You knocked at my door
You said won't no more
That was you
Come on lady get my heart
You got to paint it black
It's your life that I have lend
Give me all that I want
You knocked at my door
You said that you won't no more
That was you

All I wanted that dream of night
Loving yours in your room
Would've kissed nowt but you my love
Nothing but you
You knocked at my door




You said that you won't no more
That was you

Overall Meaning

The song "That Was You" by Pink Turns Blue is a heartfelt and poignant track that deals with themes of loss and longing. The lyrics describe a summer night, where the singer had a deep desire for love and affection from their partner, only to be left alone and heartbroken in the end.


The song is a reflection of the ups and downs of relationships, the intense feelings of love followed by the anguish of loss. The first verse talks about the singer wanting nothing but love from their partner and how they now have to live without them, highlighting the sense of abandonment and loneliness that comes with a break up.


The chorus talks about how the singer's heart has been left shattered by their partner's departure, and how they want them to come back and paint their heart black - suggesting that they want to feel the intensity of their love once again. "It's your life that I have lend, give me all that I want" implies that the singer has given their all to the relationship and now wants the same in return from their partner.


The second verse is a reminiscence of the times when the relationship was strong and loving, filled with dreams and desire. The last lingering hope is extinguished when the partner says they won't come back, leaving the singer with a lasting image of their lover as the one who caused their heartbreak.
