You were there when I needed to hold you
Feel you
Everytime I ask you to find a new way
You lie a new way
Is it gone gone gone gone gone
(You'll change
You're never never gonna keep your promises
You'll change
You'll never change
You're never never gonna keep your promises)
You said you'd changed
But I'm afraid
It's something I won't live to see
It seems so strange
That sometimes fate
Can appear to be so real
And yet turn out to be a fantasy
Same old lie
One more time
Say you're gonna be
There for me
Say you'll change
Change your ways
Never gonna keep your promises
Same old game (You know it doesn't turn me on)
Brand new day (You're singing that same old song)
No more lies (If you don't wanna find me gone gone
gone gone gone)
Another night
Another day
What can I say
You're still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
When you're the same old brand new you
(You'll change
You'll never change
You're never never gonna keep your promises)
Because of you
I guess we're through
Is this the way it has to be
I've been a fool (I've been a fool)
A fool for you (A fool for you)
But I've got better things to do than Let you walk all over me
Same old lie
One more time
Say you're gonna be
There for me
Say you'll change
Change your ways
Never gonna keep your promises
Same old game (You know it doesn't turn me on)

The song "Cover" by A1 talks about a relationship where the singer wants to believe that their partner has changed for the better, but deep down, they know that it's just the same old lie. The singer remembers a time when they relied on their partner for support, but now every time they ask for a change or improvement, their partner lies and makes false promises. The singer feels trapped in this cycle of broken promises and is tired of their partner's same old game. They mention that sometimes fate can appear to be real, but it's all just a fantasy. The singer finally decides to move on from the relationship and not let their partner walk all over them anymore.
The tone of the song is melancholic with a hint of resentment from the singer. The repeated phrase "same old lie, one more time" indicates the frustration and disappointment the singer feels from their partner's inability to change. They still love their partner, but they've realized that enough is enough and they deserve better.
In summary, "Cover" by A1 narrates a story of a relationship where the singer is tired of their partner's lies and broken promises. The lyrics convey the heartbreak and disappointment that come with realizing that someone you love will never change.
Line by Line Meaning
I can still remember the time
I still have memories of the past
You were there when I needed to hold you
You were there for me when I needed you emotionally
Feel you
To experience the emotions of the moment with you
Everytime I ask you to find a new way
Whenever I ask you to change, to be better
You lie a new way
You come up with new excuses, new lies
Is it gone gone gone gone gone
Is the relationship over, finished, completely gone?
You'll change
You promise to change
You'll never change
Yet you never actually follow through on your promise to change
You're never never gonna keep your promises
You will never fulfill any and all promises made to me
You said you'd changed
You promise to have become a better person
But I'm afraid
But I am doubtful and skeptical
It's something I won't live to see
I won't live long enough to witness the promised changes
It seems so strange
It appears odd and unlikely
That sometimes fate
That events in life that seem predetermined
Can appear to be so real
Can seem realistic and genuine
And yet turn out to be a fantasy
Only to be revealed as a falsehood or a falsehood.
Same old lie
The same lie, the same excuse
One more time
Once again, repeatedly
Say you're gonna be
Promise to be there for me
There for me
To be present and supportive for me
Change your ways
Transform and make positive changes
Never gonna keep your promises
You will continue to break your promises
Same old game (You know it doesn't turn me on)
The same pattern of behavior that I find unattractive and unappealing
Brand new day (You're singing that same old song)
The hope for a new start, but you continue to repeat the same mistakes
No more lies (If you don't wanna find me gone gone gone gone gone)
No more falsehoods or excuses, or I will leave the relationship permanently
Another night
Another sleepless night
Another day
Another meaningless day
What can I say
What can I do or say to change the situation?
You're still the same old brand new you
You are still the same person, with the same patterns of behavior
You break your promises in two
You break your promises and cause emotional harm
Because of you
As a result of your behavior
I guess we're through
The relationship is over
Is this the way it has to be
Is this the only possible outcome?
I've been a fool (I've been a fool)
I've been naive and foolish in my trust and expectations
A fool for you (A fool for you)
A naive and foolish devotion to you
But I've got better things to do than Let you walk all over me
But I have chosen to prioritize myself and my own wellbeing over allowing you to continue to treat me poorly
