Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me
Every time I try to fly I fall
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see
You in my dreams
I see your face
It's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I make-believe
That you are here
It's the only way
That I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy
Every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see
You in my dreams
I see your face
You're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry
At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away
Every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see
You in my dreams
I see your face
You're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
The lyrics of Britney Spear's song "Everytime" seem to portray the message of a love that was once strong, but has now been broken. The song begins with a plea for attention that is not being reciprocated despite the strength of their love. In the chorus, the singer acknowledges the vulnerability she feels without her partner, as she is unable to fly without his presence. It is apparent that the singer is seeking validation and comfort from her partner's love.
As the song continues, it is revealed that the singer is struggling to move on from their breakup. Her dreams are occupied by her partner and the last words she speaks are an apology. She begs that her partner's face fades away from her dreams, indicating that the constant reminder of their love is causing her emotional distress.
The song is deeply emotional and portrays the internal struggle of someone trying to come to terms with a failed relationship. The haunting music and lyrics stay with the listeners, and the song has been a favorite of many since its release.

Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong?
Why carry on without me?
And every time I try to fly I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face
It's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I make-believe
That you are here
It's the only way
That I see clear
What have I done?
You seem to move on easy
And every time I try to fly I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face
You're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry
At night I pray

And every time I try to fly I fall without my wings

And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face
You're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

This song is 20 years old and now we know the true story behind it, and it's the 1st time I teared up. She didn't deserve this, she only deserves love
@ayelensale9679
ojala sea un nuevo comienzo para ella, que pueda gritarle al mundo el amor que siente por su hija y sanar su corazón
@blueyedcole
It's so damn sad
@kathrynwilliams4209
Same. Crying watching this right now
@reneemurray446
Same, I came here to watch the video after finding out and I’m sitting here crying 😭 💔
@MARS0l
Yall are so delusional. This song was not about a baby… why would she tell the baby “you seem to move on easy”?
@EloisaMelo22
Fame. An abortion. The breakup. The marriages. The kids. Losing her kids. The conservatorship. The meds. Losing her mind. Her freedom. Jesus when will it be enough. God bless you Britney ❤️
@youwho6692
explains why she is behaving a bit crazy with her social media posts but totally understandable. Hope she find peace now that the truth is out but unfortunately, it will forever be with her.
@tabithalarue
Right? When I was younger I was so jealous (but absolutely adored her) of her beauty, fame ect. Now I feel lucky so be an average middle class person who doesn't have to wonder who is actually there for them or their money
@jeandots9465
Im here after reading a comment on fb that this song is about her "abortion " so sad huhu
