You Were Loved
by
Gryffin, OneRepublic
This song is basically, centred on the man who missed a girlfriend. The romance they had read was like teenage love, i.e. one in which they were “young” and “broke” but still shared an unforgettable era in life together. Of course, everything wasn’t all good. And the lyrics imply that somewhere along the line, the addressee grew discontent and decided to part ways. But, at least from the vocalist’s perspective, he misses her and looks forward to a day when they can reunite.
