Always on My Mind
Unspoken Regrets: A Melodic Apology in 'Always on My Mind'
Lyrics
Maybe I didn't love you
Admitting a shortfall in expressing love
Quite as often as I could have
Realizing the infrequency of demonstrating affection
Maybe I didn't treat you
Acknowledging not treating the partner as deserved
Quite as good as I should have
Recognizing a lack in the quality of care given
If I made you feel second best
Apologizing for making the partner feel less valued
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind
Expressing regret for past blindness to the partner's importance
You were always on my mind
Acknowledging the partner's constant presence in thoughts
You were always on my mind
Reiterating the constant thought of the partner
And maybe I didn't hold you
Realizing a lack of physical affection during lonely times
All those lonely, lonely times
Reflecting on moments when the partner might have felt neglected
I guess I never told you
Admitting a failure to communicate happiness about the relationship
I'm so happy that you're mine
Expressing joy in having the partner
Little things I should have said and done
Acknowledging missed opportunities for gestures and words
I just never took the time
Admitting to not prioritizing actions to express love
You were always on my mind
Reiterating the constant presence of the partner in thoughts
You were always on my mind
Reaffirming the consistent presence of the partner in thoughts
Tell me
Seeking reassurance about the enduring nature of the partner's love
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Asking for confirmation of continued affection
And give me
Requesting another opportunity to make things right
Give me one more chance
Asking for a chance to satisfy the partner's needs
To keep you satisfied, I'll keep you satisfied
Promising to ensure the partner's contentment
Little things I should have said and done
Reiterating missed opportunities for expression
I just never took the time
Acknowledging a lack of time invested in the relationship
You were always on my mind
Stating the partner's constant presence in thoughts
You were always on my mind
Reaffirming the partner's persistent place in thoughts
You were always on my mind
Emphasizing the enduring presence of the partner in thoughts
You were always on my mind
Reaffirming the partner's consistent place in thoughts
