Never Made It To My Lips
Cory Morrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna hurt you anymore
I said and I've said it
So you've heard it all before
I try to be real and say what I feel
But it always comes out wrong
And to tell you the truth
'Cause I love you, I need you and I want you so
And I am so sorry for making you feel so low
And I meant to tell you every bit of this
But the words never made it, never made it to my lips
No, the words never made it, never made it to my lips
You were smiling, now you are laughing
I must be getting to you now
I just don't know what happens
But you forgive it all somehow
I swear that I won't and you know that I will
Make you cry sometime
So here is the part that comes from my heart
Like a truest lullaby
I love you, I need you, I want you everyday
And I am so sorry for the ugly things I say
And I meant to tell you every bit of this
But the words never made it, never made it to my lips
No, the words never made it, never made it to my lips
I must be lucky, oh, I must be true
'Cause I found someone like you
Now I know I must be blessed
'Cause you love this man, oh, you love this mess
And baby, I love you, I need you, I want you everyday
And I am so sorry for the ugly things I say
I meant to tell you every bit of this
But the words never made it, never made it to my lips
Yeah, and I sure meant to tell you every bit of this
But the words never made it, never made it to my lips
No, the words never made it, never made it to my lips
The song "Never Made It To My Lips" by Cory Morrow tells the story of a man who struggles to express his true feelings to his loved one. He recognizes that he has made mistakes in the past and has hurt her, and he deeply regrets it. Despite his efforts to be truthful and express his love, he always falls short, and the words never quite make it to his lips. He resorts to putting his emotions into a song, hoping that his music will convey what he cannot say.
The lyrics depict a raw and vulnerable side of the singer, as he admits his faults and acknowledges the hurt he has caused. He recognizes his partner's forgiveness and generosity in continuing to believe in him despite his shortcomings. Although he promises to make amends, he acknowledges that he may not always succeed and will likely cause pain in the future. The song is a poignant reminder of the difficulties of communication in relationships and the power of music to express what words cannot.
