Everytime
Britney Spears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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

Notice me
I want you to pay attention to me
Take my hand
I want to be with you
Why are we
I wonder why we're not together
Strangers when
We used to know each other so well
Our love is strong?
Our love used to be strong, but now it's gone
Why carry on without me?
Why continue without me if we used to be so in love?
And every time I try to fly I fall
Whenever I try to move on, it doesn't work out
Without my wings
I feel helpless and lost without you
I feel so small
Without you, I feel insignificant
I guess I need you baby
I realize that I can't live without you
And every time I see
Whenever I imagine you being with me
You in my dreams
I can only dream of being with you
I see your face
I see your face in my mind
It's haunting me
I can't stop thinking about you
I may have made it rain
I might have caused problems between us
Please forgive me
I'm sorry for what I did
My weakness caused you pain
My inability to handle things caused you pain
And this song's my sorry
This song is my apology to you
At night I pray
I hope for things to work out between us
That soon your face will fade away
So that I can move on and stop missing you
I guess I need you baby
I need you more than anything

This song is 20 years old and now we know the true story behind it, and it's the 1st time I teared up. She didn't deserve this, she only deserves love
@ayelensale9679
ojala sea un nuevo comienzo para ella, que pueda gritarle al mundo el amor que siente por su hija y sanar su corazón
@blueyedcole
It's so damn sad
@kathrynwilliams4209
Same. Crying watching this right now
@reneemurray446
Same, I came here to watch the video after finding out and I’m sitting here crying 😭 💔
@MARS0l
Yall are so delusional. This song was not about a baby… why would she tell the baby “you seem to move on easy”?
@EloisaMelo22
Fame. An abortion. The breakup. The marriages. The kids. Losing her kids. The conservatorship. The meds. Losing her mind. Her freedom. Jesus when will it be enough. God bless you Britney ❤️
@youwho6692
explains why she is behaving a bit crazy with her social media posts but totally understandable. Hope she find peace now that the truth is out but unfortunately, it will forever be with her.
@tabithalarue
Right? When I was younger I was so jealous (but absolutely adored her) of her beauty, fame ect. Now I feel lucky so be an average middle class person who doesn't have to wonder who is actually there for them or their money
@jeandots9465
Im here after reading a comment on fb that this song is about her "abortion " so sad huhu
