Always
Countdown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind

But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
That I am so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind

But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind




You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Overall Meaning

The song "Always" by Countdown is an emotional ballad about a man coming to terms with his past relationship and realizing where he went wrong while apologizing to his partner. He reflects on the mistakes he's made, admitting that he might not have loved and treated his partner the way they deserved. He apologizes for making his partner feel like they were second best and for not holding them during the lonely times. He acknowledges that he took his partner for granted and didn't express his love enough in words or actions. However, through all his mistakes and missed opportunities, his partner was always on his mind.


The chorus provides a stark contrast to the previous verses as the tone becomes somewhat desperate. The singer pleads with his partner to not let their love die and to give him another chance to make things right. He promises to keep them satisfied and wants to make amends for all the little things he didn't say or do that he knows he should have.


Overall, the song is an emotional confessional that speaks to the importance of taking time to tend to your relationships and not taking your loved ones for granted.
