Taylor Swift – The Way I Loved You lyrics
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake and now

I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
It's 2am and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh

And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

    I think she is torn between two relationships: one she had in the past, and one that she has now. Right now, everything is perfect, and she is content with it, but she wishes it wasn't so perfect. In her old relationship, there was fighting, and magical moments, and feelings that you don't just get for anyone when your with that special person. While that may not seem perfect, its perfect to her; its the kind of things you want in a relationship. She doesn't want something too perfect because there is no fun in that. Just because its crazy and unpredictable, doesn't mean there isn't anything wrong with it. Its exactly how it should be.

    For me, this song is about a girl who had a crazy boyfriend she broke up with. She's got a new boyfriend, the perfect one and she feels proud of it; but she misses the guy she broke up with and she feels like she's lost and torn without him. The guy she says is her boyfriend now can't fill the space that the other guy filled up in her heart.
    That's for me though.

    Once you find that one person. That one that completes you and your life. Never let them go. Ever. Its wonderful at first, but eventually things will change. And you'll regret ever losing them. Your first love is something you will never forget, and you'll never love someone like that ever again. You'll want it back. You'll want the memories. You'll miss that person. First love is the sweetest, first cut is the deepest.

    This song describes the story of a girl who had a reckless and rollercoaster relationship with a boy, but it ended. She's now got someone new, and on paper, he's perfect. He does everything right, and he treats her excellently.
    But she can't help but think of her old boyfriend. He drove her crazy, the relationship was painful, but she loved him, and yearns to have the rollercoaster rush of excitement she used to have.
    For me, it brings out that love on paper just isn't realistic. Things may seem perfect, but you don't feel anything. Sometimes a relationship seems crazy and reckless, but. It's love. Though it's largely flawed and full of problems, some how it's flawless. It's illogical. But that's love.

    Basically this song is meaning is she has found a new guy that is "PERFECT" everything he does, his looks, the way he treats her. It's all any girl could ask for. But she looks back on her past relationship and it was crazy with the fighting and arguing. She loved him so much that it made her crazy in love with him and she misses that. She would rather have that kind of relationship as the "PERFECT" one she could have. Going through this myself. Great song and has a great meaning to it!

    For me, this song is about 2 relationships, the girl has a perfect relationship, and she's content, but that's the thing. It's predictable. In her old relationship, it was less predictable, and they'd fight a lot, but they were living for the thrill of those few special moments they'd have. In her present relationship there's no spark. Nothing really reaches the heart. In other words, he's not "the one." She misses feeling love.

    The song is about this girl who has an amazing boyfriend that treats her like she should be treated. She used to have a boyfriend that was wild and crazy, but they would fight and yell all the time. She is telling her ex about this boyfriend (because she keeps using "he") and how great he is. But she also tells him about how she misses screaming and fighting and kissin in the rain. (because she says "that's the way I loved YOU". But for the bf she uses "he and him") So she misses that boy and yeah. I love this song. :)

    I was with this guy for a year and a half, got his name tattooed on me and everything, we fought like crazy hated each other half the time, we got really bad, and eventually broke up. I got with another guy, every girls dream guy, he would even make taylor swift fall in love, but I couldn't ever really get into our relationship. I saw my ex and immediately fell back in love with him, broke up with mr. Perfect and the one who makes me scream and cry and curse and actually feel love and I are back together and I couldn't be happier.

    Hes the perfect boyfriend and that's the problem there's no passion or life in it he's lost the spark no one wants to have a conversation with a yes man. He loves her and they fight alot so he interprets that he need to change and that's what she thought he wanted but it's not she wants to tear her hair out and be excited and breathless not life less.

    To me it means that she is currently in this relationship where it's perfect, where the guy is perfect, but she can't enjoy it. She misses her first love when they fought and when things weren't perfect. She was and still is in love with the other guy. It's one of those things where even though their relationship wasn't perfect they wouldn't change anything about it. Because that's how they are. They fight because that's how deeply they care for each other. And that's how deeply they are in love.

    There's this amazing great guy in your life who treats you right. But your still in love with the one who hurt you, who you fight with, who you sometimes want to strangle, but no matter what he means the world to you even if he's not the fairytale man. And no matter how great the nice guy is, it's just not the same. You don't feel the same as you used to around the guy your really in love with. But your not upset by this guy either. Your feelings are just neutral more like a friends. And you want back that crazy and physcotic love that you once had. No matter how much it also hurt. Because it's what you want no natter what. Hope that made a little sense.

    I remember my guy best friend from this song. The both of us have never been in a relationship being more than best friends.
    He was wild, crazy and insane. He turns my world upside down and turn it all around. We're so comfortable with each other. We tease each other and sometimes I thought if we could be more than friends. But my guy best friend always tells me about his dream girl, so I didn't asked him but still, I hoped. Until it came to a part that I thought I needed to let it go.
    I searched for another guy, the second guy was perfect. He was everything I wanted and it turns out he likes me too.
    But I don't like the second guy as much like the way I loved my guy best friend.
