You Said You Loved Me

i wrote most of this officially a month ago and sort of forgot it existed. i remember that day, i was at target, and all that was really on my mind is that one lyric from grenade " you said you loved me ". i said/sang it out loud, emphasizing it in a heart broken tone.

when i came home and started to cook dinner, i wrote down a whole concept based off ' you said you loved me', and that's what you're reading now.

'grenade' in the past, has been my heartbreak, comfort song, the last time i had a crush on someone. that song is my fav after taylor swift's 'enchanted' ( also released in 2010, the same year as grenade. ) and is my free therapy. 

i've written a couple other songs, based off a certain lyric of the song, so this isn't the first time i've done so. it's sort of fun to do so tbh.

this time however, i decided to base this one on the music video, but a certain scene, when bruno goes to his romantic interest's house and sees her with this other guy. he then proceeds to go to the train tracks, with his piano, and well yk. ( it's metephorically, so we don't have to worry. )

mostly the bridge ( my fav of what i wrote ) is based off that. the rest is simply my metaphorical imagination, revolving around cars and streetlights. 

this can be perceived as either falling in love with someone who leads you on, to only break your heart when you realize they're already in a relationship with someone else and there's no chance of you two. they said they loved you though, so what was up with that?

or your ex has moved on and in a relationship with someone else and you're still in denial about it. your mind only flashes back to when they said they loved you. it feels like they've betrayed you, now that they're happy with someone else.

either way you perceive it, i hope you enjoy!! <33

INTRO / CHORUS:

You said you loved me

But did you really?

Cause if you did, like you swore to

Why would you leave me?

On the open side of the road

All bruised, in the scars of us

Not even a bandage could patch this up

That took some serious toll

You said you loved me

Then went ahead and let me go

1ST VERSE:

While I loved you so, little did I know

You were planning it all out

Jotting it in a dozen crinkled notes

Of how our arguments and apologetic sentiments would go down

Slick enough to dwindle right past me

That's exactly the jist of it

Causing me to lose grip of all feeble sanity

I was truly believing it was only my own fault

When in reality it was vice versa

Right to the brink, you shoved me

And watched from the passenger's side

Was it ever love that chimed through your mind?

Or was I really just a fool for you?

Either way, it seems I'm to blame

Or is it you?

CHORUS:

You said you loved me

But did you really?

Cause if you did, like you swore to

Why would you leave me?

On the open side of the road

All bruised, in the scars of us

Not even a bandage could patch this up

That took some serious toll

You said you loved me

Then went ahead and let me go

2ND VERSE:

The streetlights seemed to subside

As our love failed to reunite

Through your eyes

I was just a waste of time

Playing around with feelings

That wasn't right

You call that love, really?

Cause to me, your ego shone too bright

It blinded me from behind

And now, I've lost all sight

Of who the hell am I

CHORUS:

You said you loved me

But did you really?

Cause if you did, like you swore to

Why would you leave me?

On the open side of the road

All bruised, in the scars of us

Not even a bandage could patch this up

That took some serious toll

You said you loved me

Then went ahead and let me go

BRIDGE:

You're a sly one, aren't you?

I waited out your door

'Til I caught a glimpse

Of you with him

You were my will to live

But now I'm on fire

From the match you struck

All cause you're a liar

Look at what you've caused

Look at how you ended us

OUTRO:

It'll never be the same

And you're to blame

You said you loved me

But you never really did

No, you never did
