Come Back
Alexis Ren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kept it in a plastic bag so the smell of you would stay
It drapes on my shoulders
Almost like it did on you, but it’s still not the same
You couldn’t take my pain away
But you know you were my favorite way to end the day
I still feel your heart beating
You taught me everything is temporary
Can you hear me?
All these perfect memories but my heart still feels attacked
Even if you come back you can’t help me find my path
All that’s left inside of me are memories of your laugh
Cause you’re not here and I can't stand that you’re not coming back
I read all your letters today
Brushed my fingers over where you wrote your name
As tears dripped down my face
I tried to catch them all before they hit the page
You couldn’t take my pain away
But you know you were my favorite way to end the day
I still feel your heart beating
You taught me everything is temporary
Can you hear me? Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
All these perfect memories but my heart still feels attacked
Even if you come back you can’t help me find my path
All that’s left inside of me are memories of your laugh
Cause you’re not here and I can't stand that you’re not coming back
Can you hear me? Are you listening?
Can you hear me? Are you listening?
Can you hear me? Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
All these perfect memories but my heart still feels attacked
Even if you come back you can’t help me find my path
All that’s left inside of me are memories of your laugh
Cause you’re not here and I can't stand that you’re not coming back
The lyrics of Come Back by Alexis Ren are a touching tribute to a lost love. The song talks about the pain of losing someone and missing everything about them. The first verse talks about how the singer is still holding onto pieces of their ex-partner, even if they are not physically present. The sweater that the singer is wearing is a piece of their ex's clothing, and the scent is a reminder of them. The line, "Almost like it did on you, but it's still not the same," shows that the singer realizes that nothing can recreate the feeling of being with their ex.
The second verse talks about the deep pain that the singer is feeling after the loss of their loved one. They read their ex's letters and try to hold onto the memories, but nothing seems to make the pain go away. The chorus talks about how the singer still feels attacked by the memories, even though their ex is not with them anymore. They understand that even if their ex were to return, they wouldn't be able to help them find their path in life. All that is left are memories that make them miss their ex's laugh.
The theme of the song is heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a lost love. It is a powerful expression of the emotions that come with loss and sorrow. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has gone through a breakup, and the song's slow tempo and acoustic guitar create a melancholic atmosphere.

Here’s the lyrics, cmiiw.
Put on your sweater today
Kept it in a plastic bag
So this smell of you would stay
Drapes on my shoulders
Almost like it did on you
But it’s still not the same
You couldn’t take my pain away
But you know you were my
Favorite way to end the day
Yeah I still feel your heart beating
You taught me everything is temporary
Can you hear me
Are you listening
Can you hear me
All these perfect memories
But my heart still feels attacked
Even if you come back
You can’t help me find my path
Cause all that’s left inside of me
Are memories of your laugh
Cause you’re not here and I
Can’t stand that you’re not coming back
I read all your letters today
Brush my fingers over
Where you wrote your name
Tears drip down my face
And tried to catch them all
Before they hit the page
They couldn’t take my pain away
But you know you were my
Favorite way to end the day
Yeah I still feel your heart beating
You taught me everything is temporary
Can you hear me
Are you listening
Can you hear me
All these perfect memories
But my heart still feels attacked
Even if you come back
You can’t help me find my path
Cause all that’s left inside of me
Are memories of your laugh
Cause you’re not here and I
Can’t stand that you’re not coming back
Can you hear me
Are you listening
Can you hear me
Are you listening
Can you hear me
Are you listening
Can you hear me
All these perfect memories
But my heart still feels attacked
Even if you come back
You can’t help me find my path
Cause all that’s left inside of me
Are memories of your laugh
Cause you’re not here and I
Can’t stand that you’re not coming back

@lilangelique99
Music is for everyone! People don't have to sound perfect to share and create and experience music. It was beautiful in it's genuineness.

i lost my mom coming up on eight years ago. mother’s day is one of the hardest days of the year. it’s really kicking my ass this year. growing up without her has been the biggest challenge that i will probably ever face. i’m not okay right now. i just hope to make her proud. so thank you for this alexis, this song really means a lot to me. it’s always a a good feeling to know there’s others going through the same thing 🤍
@whatthepato
I lost mine too. I know it’s hard growing up without a mother figure but I think it’s what strengthened me the most. Stay strong :)
