Lyrics

She says she loves other, says she loves other man

She claims to love another man

Ooh and she say wanna see him

Expresses a desire to see him

Say wanna see him again

Repeated desire to meet him again

She say she looks at me with love, every time if that's what you had

She says she looks at me lovingly, if that's her perception

I said I know the one you're talking about

I acknowledge knowing the person she refers to, stating he won't return

He's not coming back

Affirmation that the mentioned individual won't come back


'Cause I'll never be how you remember me (how you remember me)

Emphasizing the inability to match past perceptions of oneself

No, I'll never be how you remember me (how you remember me)

Repeated emphasis on not aligning with past memories

And you can only see the man I've come to be (man I've come to be)

Stating that the observer can only see the current version of the singer

'Cause I'll never be how you remember me (how you remember me)

Reiterating the inability to match past perceptions


I saw you from the mirror, staring at the photograph

The singer observes the listener looking at a photo and laughing

Ooh and something about that moment always seem to make you laugh

The moment with the photo brings joy to the listener

I know that I joke a little less than I did

Acknowledges a decrease in the singer's humor

It seems some days I left I just cannot forget

The singer struggles to forget certain days in the past

We cannot move forward if you're stuck in the past

Asserts the necessity to move forward rather than dwell on the past


'Cause I'll never be how you remember me (how you remember me)

Reiterates the inability to conform to past perceptions

No, I'll never be how you remember me (how you remember me)

Repeated emphasis on not aligning with past memories

And you can only see the man I've come to be (man I've come to be)

Asserts that the observer can only see the current version of the singer

'Cause I'll never be how you remember me (how you remember me)

Stating the inability to match past perceptions


And you can only see, and you can only see

Repeats the idea that the observer can only perceive the current state

What I've come to be

Emphasizes that the observer can only perceive the current state of the singer

And you can only see, and you can only see

Repeats the notion that the observer's perception is limited to the present

What I've come to be

Reiterates the idea that the observer can only perceive the current state

On your heeart, it isn't easy

Suggests difficulty in the listener's heart

And I'm sorry if you've been flirting or you've been sneezing

Apology for potential discomfort or confusion due to changes in the singer

If I'm changing, then I'm changing for the reason

Expresses that any changes are purposeful and driven by a genuine reason

I need just your heart

Expresses a need for the listener's heart


And it's not what you expected

Acknowledges deviation from expectations

But at least my love for you is still protected

Assures that the singer's love for the listener remains unchanged

You're the only one I haven't rejected

Asserts the listener as the only person not rejected by the singer

But you'll never be the way you remember me

Expresses the listener's inability to match past memories
