Sentimental

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I will try to explain of love
And all of that
See we were young and cavalier
And we have scars and tears to smile at now
We both knew what had to be done
But it turns out I'm not that brave or strong
Because you had courage all along
We were lost and never found
You were hurt and I was proud
I was never there for you
And we forgot the things we knew
Sentimental though it seems
You were mine love
Though I tell you I'm alright
I lie love
Sweetheart this is killing me
Is it killing you?
But I know that things will work out fine
So I show my teeth when I laugh out loud
And pretend that wounds will heal in time
Sentimental though it seems
You were mine love
Though I tell you I'm alright
I lie love
We were lost and never found
You were hurt and I was proud
I was never there for you
And we forgot the things we knew
Sentimental though it seems
You were mine love
Though I tell you I'm alright
I lie love
Sentimental though it seems
You were mine love
Though I tell you I'm alright
I lie love

The singer feels regret for not being there for their partner and how they both forgot the things they knew about each other. The bridge of the song starts with "Sentimental though it seems, you were mine love" suggesting that despite everything, the singer still loves this person.

Rest your head a little while
Take a moment to rest and relax
And I will try to explain of love
I want to talk to you about love and what it means to me
And all of that
And everything that goes with it
See we were young and cavalier
We were young and carefree
And we have scars and tears to smile at now
We have been through tough times together, but can now look back on them with a sense of nostalgia
We both knew what had to be done
We were aware of what needed to happen
But it turns out I'm not that brave or strong
But I don't have the courage or strength to do it
So you had to be the one
So you had to take charge and lead the way
Because you had courage all along
You had the bravery and resilience to see things through all along
We were lost and never found
We were always searching for something, but never quite able to find it
You were hurt and I was proud
You were in pain, and I was too stubborn to admit it
I was never there for you
I wasn't always there for you when you needed me
And we forgot the things we knew
We let go of the things we once knew and believed in
Sentimental though it seems
Even though it may seem cheesy or emotional
You were mine love
You were my lover, my partner in this journey
Though I tell you I'm alright
Even though I claim to be okay
I lie love
I'm not being truthful because I'm struggling
Sweetheart this is killing me
This is extremely difficult and painful for me
Is it killing you?
Are you feeling the same way?
But I know that things will work out fine
I have faith that everything will be okay in the end
So I show my teeth when I laugh out loud
I put on a happy face even when I'm not feeling it
And pretend that wounds will heal in time
I pretend that the pain will go away on its own with time
