“i decided to do something different and write a song about something i have never experienced
this song is from the point of view of a man who is watching his first love get married to someone else, it describes his feelings on the situation,” as found in the description of the official video.
I had and I held
I cherished and loved
But it wasn't meant to be
That's my sign from above
As you waltz 'round the ballroom
Stars in your eyes
I'm so happy you're happy
Even though you aren't mine
'Cause, they're a perfect match
It's like their souls are attached
Guess that invisible string
Is what pulled you away from me
It won't get better, it's worse
Now it's my time to leave
'til death do us part
That's what we said at 15
And I know that I'm selfish
But I pledge to the gods
In another life
We'll defy the odds
'Cause back then, I wish I knew
Before you said, "I do"
Will I ever love someone like I love you?
