Sorry if my explanation or interpretation is quite long... I just love this song so much and the lyrics just struck me sooo much <3 “I stretched over to reach you I tried to meet you, I've been wrong Now the fireworks in me are all gone It's time I realized”

  • The singer wants this someone so much and he would try anything to be with this person. He thought he could be with her but in the end his love for her waned. “My girl you make all the smart moves And you see through all my wrongs When the fireworks in me are all gone Then I realized”
  • He’s complementing his girl but when his feelings fade he pondered the negative side of her. “ And I won't need convincing I've seen enough to want to try And change things You fell in love, I fell in line”
  • The girl already fell in love with someone and even though that was the case he still waited and loved her. However became conscious that he doesn’t need to convince himself to try and make things work to save their love since she can’t reciprocate his love for her.

“thought I found my place Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe Have I let you, I'll never let you down.”

  • He thought that the girl was the one before he found out how much it means to protect himself from all the pain she had cost him. And he’s asking the girl if he did his best in their relationship. “I work all day and I won't find When it feels right and its wrong When the fireworks in me are all gone Then I realized”
  • In this part, the singer is admitting his fault in their relationship. He’s too busy that he started to neglect the girl and he’s not aware if he’s hurting her or not.

“Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe Could I leave you, I'll never let you down.”

  • He’s asking if he could walk away from their relationship but in the end he’s saying that he’ll do his best to make it work so it’s like he’s asking for another chance.
My Interpretation

the last part was quite wrong because the lyrics was suppose to be "I never let you down"

sorry about that guys ><

@mauichan i love you
