Never Left Me
Unforgettable Love Echoes: Jon Langston's 'Never Left Me' Tale
Lyrics
Ain't left this house, been a couple weeks
Staying at home for a while
'Cause I ain't gotta answer them questions
Avoiding having to explain or justify things
If I don't ever leave this place
Avoiding confronting outside opinions
'Cause I don't want to face those things they gon' say
Avoiding dealing with negative comments or judgments about the relationship
What they think about us
Concern about others' opinions regarding the relationship
Hell with all of them
Disregard for others' opinions
'Cause they don't know what I know
Confidence in personal understanding of the relationship
Said that you were mine and I just can't get that out of my mind
The lingering thought of the partner being claimed
Happens every time
Repetition of feelings or thoughts about the past relationship
I still see you there and all of them nights
Memories of moments spent together
We loved and we laughed, baby, 'til we cried
Recalling joyful and emotional moments
Oh, why would you ever wanna say goodbye?
Questioning the reason for the breakup
Ooh-ooh, yeah, when things got hard, I saw them taillights
Noticing the partner leaving during tough times
And it's breaking my heart knowing you'd just drive away
Pain from realizing the partner's departure
After all them things you'd say
Feeling hurt despite reassuring words from the partner
Got a funny way of showing that you won't ever leave
An ironic way of expressing the partner's lasting impact despite leaving
'Cause even though you're gone, you still never left me
Despite physically being gone, emotionally still present
Buddy said they've seen you out at the bar
Hearing about the partner being seen elsewhere
Shooting them shots, dancing in some old boys arms and I bet
Assumption of the partner causing heartbreak again
You gon' break his heart just like you did mine, mmm
Expectation of the partner repeating past actions
Part of me is wishing that I was there to see
Curiosity about witnessing the partner's actions
Then maybe I'd be better off than believe that you're gone
Struggling to accept the reality of the breakup
Baby, you ain't coming back
Acceptance of the partner not returning
But I'm still hanging on just like you in my mind
Holding onto memories of the partner
Happens every time
Recurring memories of being together
I still see you there and all of them nights
Continued visualizations of shared moments
We loved and we laughed, baby, 'til we cried
Recollection of joy and laughter in the relationship
Oh, why would you ever wanna say goodbye?
Questioning the reason for the breakup (repeat)
Ooh-ooh, yeah, when things got hard, I saw them taillights
Seeing the partner leave during difficult times (repeat)
And it's breaking my heart knowing you'd just drive away
Pain from the partner's departure (repeat)
After all them things you'd say
Feeling hurt despite reassuring words from the partner (repeat)
Got a funny way of showing that you won't ever leave
An ironic way of expressing the partner's lasting impact despite leaving (repeat)
'Cause even though you're gone, you still never left me
Despite physically being gone, emotionally still present (repeat)
Happens every time
Reiteration of recurring memories
I still see you there and all of them nights
Continued visualizations of shared moments (repeat)
We loved, we laughed, baby, 'til we cried
Recollection of joy and laughter in the relationship (repeat)
Oh, why would you ever wanna say goodbye?
Questioning the reason for the breakup (repeat)
Ooh-ooh, yeah, when things got hard, I saw them taillights
Seeing the partner leave during difficult times (repeat)
And it's breaking my heart knowing you'd just drive away
Pain from the partner's departure (repeat)
After all them things you'd say
Feeling hurt despite reassuring words from the partner (repeat)
Got a funny way of showing that you won't ever leave
An ironic way of expressing the partner's lasting impact despite leaving (repeat)
'Cause even though you're gone, you still never left me
Despite physically being gone, emotionally still present (repeat)
Never left me, never left me
The partner's emotional presence persists despite physical absence
