The website above is (obviously) a website for searching lyrics of songs. There are many songs around the world and all of them have different meanings.

I have here a song (which is actually one of my favorite) and the title of this song is ‘The Way I Loved You’ by The One and Only Taylor Swift. This song is about a girl having the perfect boyfriend who treats her well. He likes her, he gets along with her parents, even some of her friends are jealous of her relationship with that guy but there's this other boy whom she dated who wasn't perfect in any way. He was wild and crazy, and frustrating. He acted insane. The two of them fought and even now she almost hate him, but it was passionate and real.  She just misses the way she felt when she was in love. It was "a roller coaster kind of rush." She never knew she could have so many feelings about one person. She had no idea she could have loved him so much.

"Got away by some mistake" I think this line just means that even though they had a rocky, intense relationship, she can't remember the exact reason why they broke up.

And where she says: "He can't see the smile I'm faking and my heart's not breaking 

cause I'm not feeling anything at all And you were wild and crazy. Just so Frustrating, Intoxicating, Complicated got away by some mistake" this part makes me think she's talking about current boyfriend for the first three lines, and her ex-boyfriend for the last three lines. She’s saying that her hearts not breaking because she’s not as serious about this relationship as she was when she was with the other guy because since he was wild and crazy and frustrating and intoxicating and complicated. It made the relationship fun and it wasn’t just safe and boring, there was wild crazy feelings that made her head rush and her heart fly.

I remember reading that she based it off of an idea, not a relationship she had. Still, I think it's a very powerful song. In the verse's she's talking about the boy she's currently dating. It's very calm and rational, and controlled. Then in the chorus, when she's talking about the guy she was in love with, she unleashes her energy and frustration. So basically, The way I Loved you is an Original song describing the conflicting feeling of loving someone who’s completely wrong for you and trying to reach perfection with someone else.
