2005 Lyrics

I woke up this morning
And realised, all I do is apologise
For a song I wrote in 2005
Didn't come with a warning
But fame is unkind
Put me on top of the world
Couple of girls and then left me behind

Sure, let's take a photograph
You can show it to your friends and laugh
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
But you don't really wanna know

I wrote you a love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think I can write a better love song
Without it I'd be no one
And now that you've forgotten me
Tell me how to write one better

I'm not gonna lie
Say it didn't work out
'cause I live in a big house, made a few pounds
Nice car on the drive
And I went round the world once or twice
Saw the sunset and sunrise
But for big highs, there's a big price
When all you do is criticise

Sure, let's take a photograph
You can show it to your friends and laugh
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
But you don't really wanna know

I wrote you a love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think I can write a better love song
Without it I'd be no one
And now that you've forgotten me
Tell me how to write one better

I don't think I can write one better

I wrote you a love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think I can write one better love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think I can write a better love song
Without it I'd be no one
And now that you've forgotten me
Just tell me how to write one better

I woke up this morning
And realised, all I do is apologise
For a song I wrote in 2005

Cover art for 2005 lyrics by James Blunt

I think the song reflects on Blunt's acquired fame after releasing "You're Beautiful"(2005) And how he could never again write a song like such, since then his fame declined so he can tell you what he's doing now, but you don't really want to know.

My Interpretation
Cover art for 2005 lyrics by James Blunt

He wrote this song for the one and she has somehow not taken it seriously. Maybe because he never expressed this about her or maybe he hurt her and she feels it is no longer truth. She may be mocking it out of spite or because she doesn't relate in the same way. He wants her to feel what he feels so he wants her to express her feeling so he can write something so touching it will feel special to only her through him.
