In the first verse, the singer notices that there’s been an important change in his life, he realizes how much things have changed since his girlfriend and he broke up. He feels everything in a different way than before: the bed is bigger now (without her), when he listens to those songs, which they loved, his feelings aren’t the same anymore… In addition, each thing that reminds him of his recent relationship hurts him a lot; therefore, he can’t stand hearing how his friends talk about her, his old love. He is heartbroken.
Afterwards, the author explains that due to his young age he didn’t know how to behave with his girlfriend: he didn’t either surprise her with little gifts or hold her hand when he had the opportunity to do it. He neither took her to the parties that she wanted to go to. He regrets not having spent more time with her and not having done all those things, because if he had, she’d certainly not be dancing with another man now.
In the third verse, Bruno Mars admits that his selfish and egoistic manners made her a strong and confident woman who didn’t hesitate at all when it was time to leave him. When he thinks about what happened he gets depressed and upset. Nevertheless, he is conscious: it all was his fault, and, consequently, he isn’t able to forget anything.
In the fourth verse, the singer repeats what he’s said in the second one.
Eventually, he recognizes that it’s too late to apologize for every mistake he’s made. However, he finishes the song with a wish: the author wants her new boyfriend to do everything he hasn’t. This is his strongest desire because if he is able to accomplish this, he won’t suffer and harass himself as the singer, Mars, has.
