Gave You I Gave You I Lyrics

- Meaning
[Verse 1]
You were my worst time, you were the shoreline
You were the crash and now I break
Gave you my best days, gave you the deep pain
Gave you I, gave you I, gave you I, gave you I
Am I what you wanted? Was I self-appointed?
I slowly moved into your house
All of my dark blue, covered it for you
But I'm just so embarrassed now
[Chorus]
And you did all that I wouldn't do, erasing lines around us
I held my head, I used to hold you but now I'll walk around us
And I can't lie and claim confused when I know just what happened
You got bored and I felt used, now I'm all sad about it
[Verse 2]
What did I ask for that I now pay for?
Would it have killed you to explain
That you weren't ready? And you nearly told me
And, still, I gave you I, gave you I gave you I
My honest commitment, I sat and listened
I was your floorboard, holdin' it down
You went off running away from something
That I have nothing to do with now
[Chorus]
And you did all that I'd never do, erasing time around us
I held my breath, I used to hold you but now I'll walk around us
And could you not deny the truth? 'Cause I know just what happened
You got bored and I felt used, now I'm all sad about it
[Bridge]
When did you slip through my fingers, did I ever have you?
Was I just a placeholder to fill the hole inside you?
I've been feeling sick but I should help myself, not call you
Nothing left to say 'cause you're not over her, now, are you?
[Chorus]
And you did all that I wouldn't do, erasing lines around us
I held my head, I used to hold you but now I'll walk around us
And I won't lie and claim confused when I know just what happened
You got bored and I felt used, now I'm all sad about it
[Outro]
Oh, you got bored and I felt used, now I'm all sad about it
Oh, you got bored and I felt used, now I'm all sad about it
Oh, you got bored and I felt used, now I'm so sad about it
[Verse 1]
In this section, Abrams describes her relationship as one filled with emotional highs and lows. She compares the person she was with to both a worst time and a shoreline, symbolizing the duality of their impact on her life. While she gave her best days and deep emotions, she is left questioning whether she was truly what the other person wanted. The verse captures her growing realization that she may have forced herself into the relationship, masking her true feelings, which now leaves her feeling embarrassed.
[Chorus]
Here, Abrams reflects on how the other person erased the boundaries between them, leading her to feel used and discarded. She contrasts her previous role of holding onto the relationship with her current state of walking around its remnants. The chorus highlights her awareness of what transpired, acknowledging that the other person got bored and moved on, leaving her to grapple with the resulting sadness.
[Verse 2]
In this verse, Abrams questions what she asked for in the relationship that now comes with such a high emotional cost. She expresses frustration at the lack of communication, particularly around the other person's unreadiness to commit. Despite this, she continued to give her all, only to be left with nothing when the other person ran away. The verse emphasizes her feelings of betrayal and the realization that the issues in the relationship were not hers to bear.
[Bridge]
The bridge marks a moment of introspection as Abrams questions whether she ever truly had the other person or was merely a temporary fix for their loneliness. She acknowledges her emotional state but resolves to focus on herself instead of reaching out to them. The bridge also reveals that the other person is still not over someone else, adding another layer of pain to Abrams' experience.
[Outro]
In the outro, Abrams repeats the painful truth that the other person got bored and left her feeling used, driving home the depth of her sadness. The repetition emphasizes the lingering impact of the relationship on her, underscoring the emotional weight she continues to carry.
