it was never gonna be me
Unrequited Love: The Pain of Unrealized Affection
Lyrics
Ohh
Expression of emotion, possibly sighing or exclamation.
Hmm
Expressing uncertainty or contemplation.
I was never gonna be your lady
Stating she never intended to be someone's romantic partner.
It was never gonna be me, no
Affirming that the speaker wasn't the chosen one in a relationship.
Think I went a little crazy
Acknowledging a moment of irrationality or emotional intensity.
For thinking I would ever be yours
Realization that the expectation of being with the person was unfounded.
I
Single-word interjection, possibly denoting a pause or reflection.
I tried to be enough but
Attempt to meet expectations but feeling inadequate.
Nothing was enough for you
Expressing that efforts made were insufficient for the other person.
No I was not enough
Self-awareness of not meeting the requirements or expectations.
I could never be the one for you
Recognition that the speaker could not fulfill the desired role.
When somebody else is on your mind
Noting the presence of someone else in the person's thoughts.
I did it to myself
Acceptance of responsibility for the situation.
Still don't want nobody else
Despite the challenges, the speaker remains committed to the person.
I cried for you
Expressing emotional pain and vulnerability.
I begged for you
Communicating a sense of desperation through begging.
I tried for you
Reiterating efforts and attempts to make the relationship work.
Oh I fell for you
Acknowledging falling in love despite challenges.
Silly little me, oh
Self-reflection on naivety or innocence in love.
For thinking that you loved me
Regret for believing in the other person's love.
Oh you should've fucking told me
Expressing frustration at a lack of communication or honesty.
She's still there for you to wrong me baby
Suggesting that someone else is available to be hurt by the person.
It was never gonna be me, no
Reiterating that the speaker was never the chosen one.
Think I went a little crazy
Acknowledging a moment of emotional intensity or irrationality.
For thinking I would be yours,
Reflecting on the mistaken belief that the speaker could be the person's.
But that was not the case cause
Contrasting the expectation with the reality of the situation.
You would never be mine
Acknowledging that the person will never be romantically involved.
Cause she was always on your mind
Highlighting the persistent presence of someone else in the person's thoughts.
All this time
Emphasizing the duration of the one-sided affection.
I pray for you
Expressing a desire for the person's well-being despite the situation.
And I don't want to
Conflicted emotions about praying for the person.
But I love you
Admitting love despite the challenges and pain.
And I miss you
Conveying the emotional void left by the person's absence.
