If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask
I'm throwing away pictures
that i never should have taken in the first place
and it's cold in my apartment
as i'm changing all the colors
from the brightest reds to grays
well it's 3 o'clock on monday morning
i'm just hoping you're not seeing his face
i've been getting calls in these hotel rooms
long enough to know that it was him
that took my place
and i hope this makes you happy now
that the flame we had is burning out
and i hope you like your pictures facing down
as even broken hearts may have their doubts
and i'm burning all the letters
hoping that i might forget her and her bad taste
that she left when she was leaving me
a life of barely breathing as she walked
out of this place
and you dropped the note and we changed key
you changed yourself and i changed me
i really didn't see us singing through this
then you screamed the bridge
and i cried the verse
and our chorus came out unrehearsed
and you smiled the whole way through it
i guess maybe that's what's worse
and i hope this makes you happy now
that the flame we had is burning out
and i hope you like your pictures facing down
as even broken hearts may have their doubts
and i'm taking all your memories off the shelf
and i don't need you or anybody else
so take a look at me
see what you want to see
when you get home
take me home
i'd rather die than be with you
take me home
you have a problem with the truth
take me home
because this happens every time
i knew it would...
i knew it would...
take me home
i'd rather die than be with you
take me home
you have a problem with the truth
take me home
because this happens every time
and i knew it would...
i knew it would...
and i hope this makes you happy now
that the flame we had is burning out
and i hope you like your pictures facing down
as even broken hearts may have their doubts
and i'm taking all your memories off the shelf
and i don't need you or anybody else
so take a look at me
see what you want to see
when you get home
Significado de la letra
En 'If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask' de Mayday Parade, la letra narra la desgarradora historia de una relación que se desmorona. El narrador está desechando fotos que nunca debió tomar, tratando de cambiar los colores de su vida de rojos brillantes a grises. En medio de la noche a las 3 de la mañana, siente inquietud por la presencia de otra persona en la vida de su ser querido.
Se deshace de las cartas con la esperanza de olvidar a esa persona que le causó tanto dolor al abandonarlo. Recuerda cómo cambiaron, cómo intentaron seguir adelante sin éxito, y cómo al final solo quedaron recuerdos en una estantería. La canción expresa el dolor y la resignación de alguien que se siente desplazado y herido por un amor que se ha desvanecido.
A pesar de todo, en medio de la tristeza y la confusión, el narrador se aferra a su dignidad y decide que no necesita a esa persona en su vida. Pide ser llevado a casa, lejos de la decepción y las mentiras. Reconociendo que cada vez que intentan volver, el resultado es el mismo, el narrador toma una decisión valiente: prefiere morir que seguir con esta relación tóxica.
A lo largo de la canción, se despliega una mezcla de emotividad y deseo de liberación, con la dolorosa aceptación de que a veces los corazones rotos también tienen sus dudas. La canción captura la lucha interna de alguien que busca encontrar su camino a través del desamor y la traición, finalizando con una firme afirmación de autoafirmación y valentía.
