Always Never
Fear of Losing Love: The Emotional Journey of 'Always Never'
Lyrics
When was the last time
Questioning the last occurrence of feeling needed by those whom the singer also needs.
I was needed by the ones I need
Reflecting on a potential absence of reciprocal need from others.
Was there a time
Asking if there was ever a moment when the listener cared about the singer's emotions.
That you cared for what I feel
Questioning if the listener ever genuinely cared about the singer's feelings.
Did you have a hard time
Inquiring whether the listener struggled to express certain sentiments to the singer.
Saying those words to me
Wondering if the listener found it difficult to convey particular words to the singer.
You said goodbye
Recalling a moment of saying goodbye to the singer.
Like I didn't mean a thing
Feeling dismissed or unimportant during the goodbye, as if the singer's significance was disregarded.
I was never afraid
Expressing the lack of fear about continual presence in a relationship with the listener.
Of being with you always
Confident about being consistently available for the listener.
But I am always afraid
Contradicting the previous assertion, feeling scared or apprehensive about something.
Of never being with you
Fearful of the possibility of never being together with the listener.
Aren't you surprised
Surprised about certain actions or behaviors directed towards the listener.
All of these things are for you
Noticing that everything done is dedicated or meant for the listener.
Cause I always thought
Long-held belief that the listener was destined or meant to be with the singer.
That you were the one for me
Belief in the listener's importance as a significant person in the singer's life.
I will always be there
Commitment to being present for the listener regardless of circumstances.
If I were the one you chose
Expressing willingness to be there if chosen by the listener.
But that will never come true
Realization that the desired outcome of being chosen by the listener won't happen.
Cause you chose her over me
Recognition that the listener prioritized someone else over the singer.
Over me
Reiteration of the fact that the listener chose another person over the singer.
Over me
Repetition emphasizing the listener's choice of another person.
Over me
Continued emphasis on the listener's selection of someone else.
I will always be there
Reiteration of the commitment to be there if chosen by the listener.
If I were the one you chose
Expressing willingness to be present if the listener selects the singer.
But that will never come true
Understanding that the desired outcome of being chosen won't materialize.
Cause I am always afraid
Reiterating the ongoing fear of never being together with the listener.
I was never afraid
Reiterating the lack of fear about constant companionship with the listener.
Of being with you always
Confident about being continually available for the listener.
But I am always afraid
Contradicting the previous assertion, feeling scared or apprehensive about something.
Of never being with you
Fearful of the possibility of never being together with the listener, echoing earlier sentiments.
