Thoughts for the day: When I Was Your Man

Accidentally stumbled upon this song when I was youtube surfing. Haha... I don't even know when I started to surf on youtube..

Back to the song:
This song, I have to say, is awesome in so many ways. It is very emotional, but doesn't sound like a funeral, and of course very challenging to sing! The melody is very touching by itself.

~The gist of the song is about the regrets of losing a girl, and lastly expresses hopes that the girl has found the right one who would give her all the love and attention that he could not when they were together.~

This goes back to the oldies style and a ballad. I love the composition, and the lyrics, they mean a lot to me.. Maybe because I can relate to a big part of this song.. Sit back and enjoy the music =)

Bruno Mars - "When I Was Your Man"


 
Written by: Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine and Andrew Wyatt

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you all that it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

And it all just sound like oooohhh...

Hmmm too young, too dumb to realize

That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing, but she's dancing with another man.

My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sound like oooohhh...
Hmmm too young, too dumb to realize

That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand
Should have gave all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing, but she's dancing with another man.

Although it hurts I'll be the first to say that I was wrong.....
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers,
I hope he holds your hand,
Give you all his hours,
When he has the chance
Take you to every party cause I remember how much you loved to dance

Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man

Do all the things I should have done 
When I was your man
