A Long Time Ago Lyrics

I fell in love with you
Long before I knew
What it meant to give everything up

I was a rolling stone
Rolling my way alone
Till you came and made sense out of everything

But you couldn't wait
I couldn't promise you anything
If it was all a mistake
Then I guess we're both to blame

I could have been
So many things
But it would never be enough for you

I was the one
You counted on
But I was never the one for you
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago

City of strangers
Out of danger
In your arms, I was half awake, half asleep

Grab ahold to what I got
Regretting all that I'm not
I couldn't be the one who'd stand by your side
If it was all a mistake
Then I guess we're both to blame

I could have been
So many things
But it would never be enough for you

I was the one
You counted on
But I was never the one for you
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago

I hold no grudges
I come bearing forgiveness
Only love, only love
Even if it's not enough
Only love, only love
Even if it's not enough
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago

I could have been
So many things
But it would never be enough for you

I was the one
You counted on
But I was never the one for you
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago

What is the Meaning of A Long Time Ago?

This track is a poignant reflection on a love that was lost due to unmet expectations and differing life paths. The singer acknowledges falling in love without fully understanding the implications of such a commitment. Despite their best efforts, they couldn't fulfill the other's needs or stand by them as expected. This realization leads to an acceptance that they had lost their loved one long before the relationship officially ended. However, there's no bitterness, only forgiveness and lingering love - even if it wasn't enough to keep them together. This song beautifully captures the pain of acknowledging one's shortcomings in a relationship and the bittersweet acceptance of love lost.
