Hello amigos welcome to week 41 of the vibes web3 music competition. I'd be doing a song cover of 28 by Ruth B.
28 by Ruth B and Dean Lewis talks about the struggles of moving on in a relationship that doesn't seem to work. Ruth B verse tells the story of how she lost so much of herself in trying to be with her partner. She start the song with put you first just like you wanted, showing that she made sacrifices for her partner as the words you wanted in that verse shows that for her, it was all about his happiness. This is evident at the end of the first verse where she mentions "I almost threw it all away", which shows that she's given her everything for the relationship to work.
The chorus goes even deeper as she mentions I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me, showing that at this point she already recognizes that love wasn't enough for them to work out. This is usually seen in many toxic relationships with one partner almost loosing themselves to the relationship, luckily Ruth B claims she recognized that part of her healing was to let him go.
Lyrics
Put you first just like you wanted
Gave you me, you took for granted
Now here I am at 28
All my friends, I hardly know 'em
I don't sing 'cause you're still broken
I almost threw it all away
How did we go from movies on Tuesdays
To all our memories packed in a suitcase?
Carried the weight for you for far too long
Even though I loved you
You know I had to leave
I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me
'Cause they say time heals all wounds
But your wounds cut so deep
I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me
