Here I Go Again
Anthony Callea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though you will never know the way I feel
The secret I keep from you is burning inside me
How much longer can my love hide
When I look at you, with that other man
How I'd wish you'd understand
[Chorus]
I Keep making true same mistakes
Here I go again
Why do I put myself through this pain
Isn't it a shame
You don't feel this way
No one else to blame
Here I go again
I'm used to imagining you here beside me
Though I am all alone I hear your words whisper
My friends always ask me, what's on my mind
If only they knew, I wouldn't have to lie
When I look at you, with that other man
How I'd wish you'd understand
[Chorus]
Always only just beyond my reach
And good sense it tells me this could never be
The heart is not for thinking
And I'm slipping in too deep
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Anthony Callea's song "Here I Go Again" depict the agony of unrequited love. The singer confesses in the first verse that he knows that he will find the person he loves somewhere inside his heart, but he also acknowledges that the person will never know how he feels. He keeps this secret burning inside him and wonders how long he can keep his love hidden. He also painfully watches the person he loves with someone else and wishes she could understand his feelings.
The chorus highlights the singer's anguish and how he keeps making the same mistake by putting himself through this pain. He questions why he feels this way when the person he loves does not feel the same. He wishes the person he loves felt the same way, but he also acknowledges that no one else is to blame for his unrequited love.
The bridge suggests that the singer knows that his love will never be reciprocated, but his heart is not listening to good sense, and he is slipping in too deep. The lyrics describe the raw emotions felt when one-sided love is at play. The pain, confusion, and the inability to let go of a love that cannot, and will not, be realized.

Somewhere inside my heat, I know I will find you
I have a deep feeling that we will be together someday
Though you will never know the way I feel
I wish I could tell you how I feel, but I know it's not possible
The secret I keep from you is burning inside me
I'm hiding my love for you, and it's causing me a lot of pain
How much longer can my love hide
I can't keep my feelings for you hidden forever
When I look at you, with that other man
It hurts to see you with someone else
How I'd wish you'd understand
I wish you knew how I felt so we could be together
Here I go again
I keep repeating the same pattern of falling for someone I can't have
I Keep making true same mistakes
I can't help but fall for people I shouldn't
Why do I put myself through this pain
I know it hurts, but I can't help how I feel
Isn't it a shame
It's sad that you don't feel the same way
You don't feel this way
You don't have the same feelings for me
No one else to blame
There's no one else responsible for my feelings but me
I'm used to imagining you here beside me
I often daydream about us being together
Though I am all alone I hear your words whisper
Even when you're not here, I can still hear your voice
My friends always ask me, what's on my mind
My friends want to know what's bothering me
If only they knew, I wouldn't have to lie
I can't tell my friends the truth about how I feel
Always only just beyond my reach
It seems like we can never be together
And good sense it tells me this could never be
I know deep down that me and you can never happen
The heart is not for thinking
Sometimes the heart wants what it wants, regardless of logic or reason
And I'm slipping in too deep
I'm in too deep with my feelings for you, and it's hard to pull away
