you’ll never know
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so

A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you

I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
(You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer)

If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how




You'll never know if you don't know now
You'll never know if you don't know now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Engelbert Humperdinck's song You’ll Never Know are a lamentation of a person who misses and loves somebody deeply but hasn't been able to express it to them. The first two lines set up the theme of the song as being about a person who will never know how much they are missed and cared for. The third and fourth lines of the song introduce a note of regret and despair- the singer has tried to convey their love for the other person, but to no avail, they haven't been able to hide their love either.


The rest of the song captures the pain of separation and unrequited love. The line "You went away and my heart went with you" echoes the sentiment of the famous saying, "where you go, my heart will go too." The singer misses the other person so much that they speak their name in every prayer. The last two lines of the song- "If there is some other way to prove that I love you, I swear I don't know how, you'll never know if you don't know now" - suggest a plea to the other party to recognize the depth of the singer's love before it's too late.


Overall, the lyrics of the song are a poignant expression of unrequited love and the longing to be loved and recognized.


Line by Line Meaning

You'll never know just how much I miss you
I miss you more than words can say


You'll never know just how much I care
I care about you deeply


And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
Even if I tried to hide it, my love for you is too strong to conceal


You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
I've told you numerous times before, so you should already know


A million or more times?
I've told you so many times, it's hard to keep count


You went away and my heart went with you
When you left, you took a piece of my heart with you


I speak your name in my every prayer
I pray for you constantly and mention your name in my prayers


If there is some other way to prove that I love you
If there's another way to show you how much I love you


I swear I don't know how
I honestly don't know how to do it


You'll never know if you don't know now
If you don't already know, you may never know how much I love you

Lyric:
Hangin' out where I don't belong is nothing new to me
I get tired and I get sick and then I lose the strength to leave

I can't handle change
I can't handle change

Nothing I do is ever good
Nothing I do is ever good enough
Nothing I do is ever good

Nothing I do is ever good
Nothing I do is ever good enough
Nothing I do is ever good

Leave me alone
Leave me alone

Leave me alone
Leave me alone

I can't help but repeat myself
I know it's not your fault
Still lately, I begin to shake
For no reason at all

For no reason at all
For no reason at all
For no reason at all
For no reason at all

Hangin' out where I don't belong
Is nothing new to me
I get tired and I get sick
And then I lose the strength to leave

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't handle change
I can't handle change

Nothing I do is ever good
Nothing I do is ever good enough
Nothing I do is ever good
Nothing I do is ever good
Nothing I do is ever good enough
Nothing I do is ever good

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wanna go home now)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wanna go home now)

Still lately I begin to shake
For no reason at all
For no reason at all
For no reason at all
For no reason at all
For no reason at all

Mini vent. Read if you want.
















I remember when everything was wrong in my life and I began to listen to songs like I can't handle change, never, young, etc. I listened to them hoping everything would get better and my parents would stop yelling and my brother would stop yelling at them too. I listened to this song so much. Too many thoughts came into my head. I couldn't keep my head clear. It was full of tears I kept bottling up. Even when writing this I still feel the tears in my throat. I thought about this in school and I couldn't concentrate on my school work. I vented to one of my friends about my life but it didn't help much. Everything was coming at me like bullets. I worried about everything so much I had a mental breakdown at school crying so much having to talk to my mother. I had so many tears flowing. I could never cry otherwise I would get reminded about my mistakes. My brother wouldn't stop making fun of me crying because of my reason for it. My friends are very helpful and I'm very thankful for them. I know a friend who has almost the same mindset as me. we still talk by the time I'm writing this. I tried so much to try and stop crying. I felt embarrassed the next day. I didn't talk two days after that. I only talked to my family and a couple friends. This song reminds me of my cries that day. After that cry, I felt a bit better. I felt better because I was able to cry for once. I'm never able to cry or I feel like I'm seen as some stupid dumbass idiot.


I'm okay now. I'm listening to phonk and breakcore now. I still listen to songs like this just not that often anymore. Thank you for reading<3
