Alone In This World
Evans Faith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know how I'm still standing on my feet
So turned around and incomplete
I'm not that happy woman that I used to be
Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie
But in your heart you know that truth
All the things you put me through (Oh baby)
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
It's over now, we can't go on
In my eyes I thought that you could do no wrong
It's no surprise we both belong
Because of you my heart's singing us that song
Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie
But in your heart you know that truth
And I'm trying to forget
All the things you put me through (Oh baby)
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
I can't believe our love is over now
Where did love go
And why did I believe that we would be together forever
Now it's all a memory
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
The lyrics of the song "Alone In This World" by Faith Evans conveys a sense of loneliness and regret that comes with the end of a relationship. The singer talks about feeling incomplete and lost after the breakup, and how difficult it is to move on from someone who didn't care about her feelings. The lines "I never thought you'd turn you back and walk away from love like that, while I was holding on to you, all you did was let me go", highlight the betrayal and pain of being left behind despite one's efforts to hold on to the relationship.
The repeated question "please tell me what did you mean, when you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie" shows the singer's confusion and betrayal after realizing that her partner never loved her genuinely. She is struggling with the fact that she gave all her love to someone who never deserved it, and now all she has left is the pain and loneliness of a failed relationship. The chorus "I'm standing here alone in this world, alone" reaffirms the singer's sense of isolation and despair.
Overall, "Alone In This World" is a heart-wrenching and honest song that captures the emotions and struggles of someone who has been hurt in a relationship. It reminds us that love can hurt as much as it can heal, but one must fight to move on and find their happiness.
