Everytime
♥Britney Spears♥ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
That soon your face will fade away

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

Overall Meaning

"Everytime" by Britney Spears is a song that expresses deep-seated emotions of regret, pain, and longing for a lost love. The opening lines "Notice me, take my hand" suggest that the singer is addressing her former lover, whom she still loves deeply. The use of the word "strangers" implies that they once had a close relationship but have grown distant. The singer wonders why they continue to carry on without each other, despite the strength of their love.


The chorus of the song is particularly poignant. When the singer tries to imagine life without her love, she feels lost and helpless. The metaphor "Without my wings, I feel so small" suggests that she is unable to function without her partner's support. She acknowledges that she needs him to feel complete. The repetition of "I guess I need you, baby" emphasizes the depth of the singer's longing and sadness.


Later on, the song takes a turn towards remorse. The singer acknowledges that she may have contributed to the breakup, possibly by causing her partner pain. She asks for forgiveness through the lyric "Please forgive me, my weakness caused you pain". By the end of the song, the singer is left praying for closure, hoping that her former lover will "fade away" from her thoughts and dreams.
