In Case
Demi Lovato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pictures in my pocket
Are faded from the washer
I can barely just make out your face
Food you saved for later
In my refrigerator
It's been too long since later never came

I know
One day eventually
Yeah, I know
One day I'll have to let it all go
But I keep it just in case
Yeah, I keep it just in case

In case
You don't find what you're looking for
In case
You're missing what you had before
In case
You change your mind, I'll be waiting here
In case
You just want to come home

Strong enough to leave you
But weak enough to need you
Cared enough to let you walk away
I took that dirty jacket
From the trash right where you left it
'Cause I couldn't stand to see it go to waste

I know
One day eventually
Yeah, I know
One day I'll have to let it all go
But I keep it just in case
Yeah, I keep it just in case

In case
You don't find what you're looking for
In case
You're missing what you had before
In case
You change your mind, I'll be waiting here
In case
You just want to come home
In case

You're looking in that mirror one day
And miss my arms
How they wrapped around your waist
I say that you can love me again
Even if it isn't the case

Ohh
You don't find what you're looking for
Ohh
You're missing my love
You don't find what you're looking for
In case
You're missing what you had before
In case
You change your mind, I'll be waiting here
In case
You just want to come home




In case
Yeah, ooh

Overall Meaning

The song "In Case" by Demi Lovato is about holding onto things from a past relationship just in case the other person comes back. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been holding onto various items that remind them of the person they used to be with, such as faded pictures and food that was meant for later. The singer is aware that they will eventually have to let go of these things, but for now they are holding onto them in case the other person returns.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer is conflicted about their feelings for the other person. They acknowledge that they were strong enough to leave, but they are also weak enough to need that person back in their life.

The song ends with the singer saying that even if it's not the case, they believe the other person can love them again.


Overall, "In Case" is a bittersweet song about holding onto past memories and hoping for a second chance at love. It captures the complicated feelings that come with the end of a relationship and the desire to keep a connection alive.


Line by Line Meaning

Pictures in my pocket
I have old, worn-out photographs of us in my pocket


Are faded from the washer
The pictures have become blurred because they went through the wash


I can barely just make out your face
I can hardly see your face in the pictures anymore


Food you saved for later
I have some of your uneaten food in my fridge


In my refrigerator
The food that you left behind is still in my fridge


It's been too long since later never came
It's been a while since you never came back for your food


I know
I understand


One day eventually
One day in the future


Yeah, I know
Yes, I understand


One day I'll have to let it all go
I will eventually have to move on and let go of our past


But I keep it just in case
However, I still hold onto these things just in case


In case
Just in case


You don't find what you're looking for
If you don't find what you're searching for


In case
Just in case


You're missing what you had before
If you're longing for our past relationship


In case
Just in case


You change your mind, I'll be waiting here
If you change your mind, I'll be here waiting for you


In case
Just in case


You just want to come home
If you want to come back home


Strong enough to leave you
I was strong enough to walk away from you


But weak enough to need you
But I'm still too weak to not need you in my life


Cared enough to let you walk away
I loved you enough to let you go even though it hurt me


I took that dirty jacket
I found your dirty jacket


From the trash right where you left it
I got it from the trash where you discarded it


'Cause I couldn't stand to see it go to waste
Because I didn't want to see it wasted and gone forever


You're looking in that mirror one day
One day when you're looking at yourself in the mirror


And miss my arms
You'll miss my embrace


How they wrapped around your waist
How my arms wrapped around your waist


I say that you can love me again
I believe you have the ability to love me again


Even if it isn't the case
Even if you don't love me again


Ohh
Ohh


You're missing my love
You're missing the love that I gave you


In case
Just in case


You're missing what you had before
If you're longing for our past relationship


In case
Just in case


You change your mind, I'll be waiting here
If you change your mind, I'll be here waiting for you


In case
Just in case


You just want to come home
If you want to come back home


In case
Just in case


Yeah, ooh
Yeah, ooh

Jesus Christ is my King

In case, warrior, nightingale, lightweight, fix a heart, for the love of a daughter, shouldn't come back and skyscraper hits hard. Such a beautiful masterpiece created and composed through pain and brokenness of a person. This is why I love Demi so much. She is an inspiration to me since my childhood days and now I'm 22 years old, I will always be grateful to Demi. I pray she soon finds true peace, comfort and strength not of this world but of Jesus.
