What we had

"What we had" is a song by The Gliding Faces from the album, Veritas. Dan says, of the song: "The ending of this song still gets me. Very emotional, I love it! Max had an idea about doing a song where the verses sound like choruses and the choruses are stripped back like verses. The edit for the single is pretty brutal as well."

Lyrics

Kissing and holding
Smiling and laughing
Looking at you
And always knowing

Feeling and floating
Content and unknowing
Unprepared
For what is coming

When I think about 
What we had
I can't feel anything 
But sad
When I think about 
What you said
Everything gets blurry
My heart hurts my head

Hoping and crying
Drowning and dreaming
Thinking of you
And regretting

Shouting and fighting
Hurting and panicking
Torturous
Losing the meaning

When I think about 
What we had
I can't feel anything 
But sad
When I think about 
What you said
Everything gets blurry
My heart hurts my head

It's torture to imagine
My life without you
I can't describe the feeling
I can't tell you what I mean
But you're my perfection
You bring me joy
Thats why it hurts
When you toss me like a toy 

When I think about 
What we had
I can't feel anything 
But sad
When I think about 
What you said
Everything gets blurry
My heart hurts my head

Everything gets blurry
When I think about what we had
