Always on My Mind
Unspoken Apologies: Elvis Presley's Heartfelt Reflections
Lyrics
Maybe I didn't treat you
Expressing regret for not treating the person well.
Quite as good as I should have
Acknowledging shortcomings in treating the person properly.
Maybe I didn't love you
Admitting to not expressing love as much as needed.
Quite as often as I could have
Recognizing a lack of frequency in showing affection.
Little things I should have said and done
Regret for not saying and doing small, meaningful things.
I just never took the time
Admitting to not dedicating time to the relationship.
You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
Reassuring that the person was always in the singer's thoughts.
You were always on my mind
Emphasizing the persistent presence of the person in the singer's mind.
Maybe I didn't hold you
Acknowledging a lack of physical closeness during lonely times.
All those lonely, lonely times
Expressing regret for not holding the person during lonely moments.
And I guess I never told you
Admitting to not expressing happiness for having the person.
I'm so happy that you're mine
Expressing joy for being in a relationship with the person.
If I made you feel second best
Apologizing if the person felt undervalued or less important.
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind
Apologizing for not recognizing the person's worth.
You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
Reiterating that the person was always in the singer's thoughts.
You were always on my mind
Stressing the continuous presence of the person in the singer's mind.
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Seeking assurance that the love between them is still alive.
Give me, give me one more chance
Requesting another opportunity to make the person happy.
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Expressing a desire to maintain the person's satisfaction.
Little things I should have said and done

You were always on my mind
