Jag Gav Dig Allt Jag Hade lyrics with English translation

Each line in the original and in English. Translation and romanization by AI, to help you follow the song.

Jag gav dig allt jag hade inom mig Jag trodde verkligen på dig och mig Men någonstans på vägen försvann vi två Jag väntade på kärlek som aldrig ville nå

I gave you all I had within me I truly believed in you and me But somewhere along the way we two disappeared I waited for love that never wanted to arrive

Du sa så mycket, men orden blev tomma Jag stod kvar medan dagarna kom och gick Jag ville bara känna att jag betydde nåt Men ensamheten var allt jag till slut fick

You said so much, but the words became empty I stood still while the days came and went I just wanted to feel that I mattered But loneliness was all I eventually got

För jag orkar inte kämpa ensam mer Inte vara den som alltid väntar och ber Jag vill bli älskad, jag vill bli sedd Inte bara när det passar dig

Because I can't fight alone anymore Not be the one who always waits and begs I want to be loved, I want to be seen Not just when it suits you

Jag ville vara ditt självklara val Inte någon som får nöja sig med det som blev kvar Och även om mitt hjärta går itu Så måste jag välja mig själv nu

I wanted to be your obvious choice Not someone who has to settle for what was left And even if my heart breaks So I have to choose myself now

Du svarade sällan när jag ringde dig Och tiden för oss fanns aldrig riktigt där Jag saknade händer som sökte efter mina Och känslan av att du faktiskt ville vara här

You rarely answered when I called you And time for us was never really there I missed hands that sought mine And the feeling that you actually wanted to be here

Du satte annat före det vi hade Och löften blev till ord som blåste bort Jag försökte hålla ihop det som vi skapade Men avståndet mellan oss blev alldeles för stort

You put other things before what we had And promises turned into words that blew away I tried to hold together what we created But the distance between us became far too great

För jag orkar inte kämpa ensam mer Inte vara den som alltid väntar och ber Jag vill bli älskad, jag vill bli sedd Inte bara när det passar dig

Because I can't fight alone anymore Not be the one who always waits and begs I want to be loved, I want to be seen Not just when it suits you

Jag ville vara ditt självklara val Inte någon som får nöja sig med det som blev kvar Och även om mitt hjärta går itu Så måste jag välja mig själv nu

I wanted to be your obvious choice Not someone who has to settle for what was left And even if my heart breaks So I have to choose myself now

Kanske kommer jag sakna dig ibland Kanske kommer tårarna falla ibland Men kärlek ska inte göra så ont Man ska inte behöva be om att bli älskad

Maybe I will miss you sometimes Maybe tears will fall sometimes But love shouldn't hurt so much You shouldn't have to beg to be loved

Jag ville ha ett vi som höll Någon som stannade när livet blev svårt Men jag kan inte förlora mig själv För att försöka rädda något som redan gått

I wanted an 'us' that lasted Someone who stayed when life got hard But I can't lose myself To try to save something that's already gone

Nej, jag orkar inte kämpa ensam mer Jag har gett dig allt, mer än du ser Jag ville vara den du höll så kär Men jag kan inte stanna där jag inte är värd

No, I can't fight alone anymore I have given you everything, more than you see I wanted to be the one you held so dear But I can't stay where I'm not valued

Så nu går jag, fast hjärtat säger stanna Jag måste släppa taget, låta livet börja om För någonstans där framme finns ett ljus Och den här gången väljer jag mig själv

So now I'm leaving, even though my heart says stay I have to let go, let life start over Because somewhere ahead there is a light And this time I choose myself

Jag älskade dig… Men det räckte inte med att jag älskade oss två

I loved you... But it wasn't enough that I loved us two

Lines explained

“Jag ville vara ditt självklara val Inte någon som får nöja sig med det som blev kvar Och även om mitt hjärta går itu Så måste jag välja mig själv nu”

I wanted to be your obvious choice Not someone who has to settle for what was left And even if my heart breaks So I have to choose myself now

This line expresses the singer's desire to be a priority in the relationship, not just an afterthought, and the difficult decision to prioritize their own well-being over a failing love.

“Kanske kommer jag sakna dig ibland Kanske kommer tårarna falla ibland Men kärlek ska inte göra så ont Man ska inte behöva be om att bli älskad”

Maybe I will miss you sometimes Maybe tears will fall sometimes But love shouldn't hurt so much You shouldn't have to beg to be loved

This line reflects on the nature of love, stating that true love should not cause such pain and that one should not have to plead for affection.

“Så nu går jag, fast hjärtat säger stanna Jag måste släppa taget, låta livet börja om För någonstans där framme finns ett ljus Och den här gången väljer jag mig själv”

So now I'm leaving, even though my heart says stay I have to let go, let life start over Because somewhere ahead there is a light And this time I choose myself

This line signifies the turning point where the singer decides to move on, acknowledging the pain but embracing the hope for a better future by choosing themselves.
