Tyra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought I'd be over you,
After all this time,
Songs on the radio,
Still bring you back to mind,
Oh I hold you in my heart,
Still remember the day,
Found you in my memory as the one who got away,
I wanna see you happy,
That's all that really matters to me now,
But if you would've asked me,
I think that we are meant to be,
Oh I hope she's good to you,
Like you were good to me,
The last thing that you need is another repeat of me,

So what are you doing here?
Yeah, you ain't supposed to be on my mind,
So what are you doing here?
Yeah, I thought I'd be over you by now,
But I guess time wasn't enough,
So what I can do now,
To move on the way you did,
I guess this means I'm still in love with you,
Youuuuuuuuuu,
youuuuuu no,
Mmmm, Lookin' back on memories
Livin' with regret,

If time was rewindable,

I'd do things so different,
Oh, I never would have hurt you,
I still ask myself why,
I would throw away the best thing that was in my life,
Oh, I wanna see you happy,
That's all really matters to me now
But if would've asked me,
I think that you should be with me,

Oh, I hope she's good to you yeah,
Like you were good to me,

The last thing that you need is another repeat of me,
What are you doing here?
You ain't supposed to be on my mind,
So, what are you doing here?
I thought I'd be over you by now,
But I guess time wasn't enough,
So what can I do now?
To move on the way you did,
I guess this means I'm still in love with you,
And I never wanna see you with someone else,
And I'm never gonna let you go,




And I never wanna see you with someone else,
And I never wanna let you go

Thought I'd be over you,
Despite time passing by, I thought I would be done reminiscing about you


After all this time,
Even though a significant amount of time has passed


Songs on the radio,
Music being played on the radio station


Still bring you back to mind,
Remind me of you and our relationship


Oh I hold you in my heart,
I keep memories of you close to my heart


Still remember the day,
I do not forget the specific day we parted ways


Found you in my memory as the one who got away,
I consider you the one that I let go and should have held on to


I wanna see you happy,
My desire is to see you content and satisfied


That's all that really matters to me now,
It's the prime consideration for me at this moment


But if you would've asked me,
Although that's how I feel at this moment, if you had asked me earlier


I think that we are meant to be,
I think that we were meant to be together


Oh I hope she's good to you,
I desire for whoever is with you to treat you well


Like you were good to me,
You were good to me in the past


The last thing that you need is another repeat of me,
You don't deserve to go through what we already experienced again


So what are you doing here?
Why are you occupying my thoughts?


Yeah, you ain't supposed to be on my mind,
You are not expected to be in my thoughts


But I guess time wasn't enough,

What actions can I take at present?


To move on the way you did,
To deal with this issue just as you did

Youuuuuuuuuu,
You

Having to live with remorse


If time was rewindable,
If time could be turned back

I would handle things differently


Oh, I never would have hurt you,

I still ask myself why,
Even now, I still question myself


I would throw away the best thing that was in my life,
Discarding the best thing that existed in my existence


I think that you should be with me,
I believe you and I should be together


And I'm never gonna let you go,
I am not going to allow you to slip away


And I never wanna see you with someone else,
