Detailed Summary:
The song "giá như" can be broken down into several thematic sections:
Section 1: The Relationship's Decline: The lyrics begin by describing the gradual deterioration of the relationship. The couple stopped talking late into the night, stopped drinking together, and fell into silence. The singer notes the fading of their affection, highlighting the slow and painful process of their separation. The repeated lines emphasize the lack of communication and intimacy: "Suốt bấy lâu nay ta không còn trò chuyện thâu đêm Suốt bấy lâu 2 ta không cùng cạn và say mềm Cứ thế im lặng dần, cứ thế phai nhạt dần" (For so long we haven't talked late into the night, for so long we haven't drunk together and gotten tipsy, it just fell silent gradually, it just faded gradually).
Section 2: Regret and Longing: The core of the song revolves around the singer's repeated wish: "Giá như em muốn anh" (If only you wanted me). He expresses his belief that if his partner had desired the relationship to continue, their problems could have been overcome. He imagines scenarios where her love would have eased his burdens and prevented their loneliness. He laments the lack of communication and understanding during their arguments, leading to their current separation. The lines "Chẳng lẽ trái tim em sắt đá như vậy, em không bận tâm hay sao?" (Could it be that your heart is so cold, don't you care?) express his hurt and confusion.
Section 3: Acceptance and Pain: The song transitions to a more melancholic tone. The singer acknowledges the end of the relationship, stating "Anh vẫn ở đây, nhưng không thể giữ" (I'm still here, but I can't hold on). He accepts the separation, comparing the pain to clouds dissipating in the rain. However, the lingering pain is evident in his continued reflection on the past, including forgotten special days and unread messages. The line "Giá như ta không biết nhau thì ngày xưa chuyện sẽ khác" (If only we hadn't known each other, things would have been different in the past) reveals the depth of his hurt and the impact the relationship has had on him.
Section 4: Repeating the Plea: The song concludes by returning to the central theme of longing and regret, repeating the plea "Giá như em muốn anh" (If only you wanted me). The final repetition of "Giá như" (If only) leaves the listener with a sense of unresolved sadness and the lingering weight of "what ifs." The song doesn't offer resolution, only the raw emotion of a lost love and the pain of unanswered questions.
