You'll Never Know
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swallow your pride and just let me in
I don't want to hurt you, you know I'm your friend
If this is the outcome of all we've been through
It seems like a waste, I can't take all this waiting for you

I won't wait
I can't wait here anymore
So hard, it hurts
But I'll never learn and you'll never know how much it burns
Won't take it back, I meant every word
But you only hear what you want to hear

Never believe me 'cause I'm always wrong
You say that you're leaving, the fire is gone
If I am the monster and this is our song
Sing with me lover and tell me that you're never wrong

I won't wait
I can't wait here anymore

So hard, it hurts
But I'll never learn and you'll never know how much it burns
Won't take it back, I meant every word
But you only hear what you want to hear
What you want to hear

I won't wait
I can't wait here anymore

So hard, it hurts
But I'll never learn and you'll never know how much it burns
Won't take it back, I meant every word
But you only hear what you want to hear

Swallow your pride and just let me in
I don't want to hurt you, you know I'm your friend




If this is the outcome of all we've been through
It seems like a waste, I can't take all this waiting for you

Overall Meaning

"You'll Never Know" by Bif Naked is a song about a relationship that is on the rocks. The singer of the song asks her partner to swallow their pride and let her in. She doesn't want to hurt him, and she reminds him that they are friends. The outcome of all that they have been through seems like a waste if they cannot work things out. The singer cannot take all the waiting, and she cannot wait anymore.


The second half of the song seems to be a response to the partner's doubts about the relationship. He does not believe the singer because he says she is always wrong. He says that he is leaving because the fire is gone. But the singer is not ready to give up on the relationship, and she offers a plea to her lover to sing with her and tell her that he is never wrong. But ultimately, the singer cannot wait anymore for her lover's affirmation or agreement.


In summary, the song explores the difficulties of relationships, particularly when one person is unable to communicate their feelings or refuses to believe what the other person is saying. The song suggests that waiting in these situations can be painful, and there comes a point where one must stop waiting and move on.
