Bruno Mars - when you were my man

화자는 함께 했던 순간들을 회상하며, 사랑했던 상대방이 알아주지 못했던 것들에 대한 아쉬움과 후회를 담아낸다
이별 후에도 상대방의 존재가 여전히 그를 괴롭히고, 새로운 관계 속에서도 이전의 상처가 남아 있음을 표현한다
결국 자신을 내버려둔 사람에 대한 서운함과 독립적인 선택을 다짐하는 내용을 담고 있다

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 it does is just tears me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like (Ooh, ooh)
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That you should've bought me flowers
And held my hand
Give me all your hours
When you had the chance
Take me to every party
'Cause all I wanted to do was dance
Now I'm dancing
But I'm dancing with another man
Your pride, your ego, your needs and your selfish ways
Causе a good strong woman like me to walk out your life
Now you nеver, never get to clean up the mess you made, no
And it haunts me just a little when I close my eyes
