Fay Wildhagen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've moved on but hey, I'm not done yet
Now you speak like we've never been
And I watch while you let her in
Would you mine to take it just a little slower
Oh, don't you let me go
I'm afraid to be alone
I'm afraid to be alone
(No, I never told you)
(Oh, no, I never told you)
(Oh, no, I never told you)
(Oh)
I would leave at any time to come over
I'd walk a thousand lands to come closer
Now you move in secrecy
There's so much you're not telling me
And, I can't stop thinking of her
Oh, don't you let me go
I'm afraid of being alone
Oh, don't you let me go
I'm afraid of being alone
Should we just leave it, let it be
Should I pretend to just not see
That she'll never know you like I do
She'll never love like I love you
O-oh
(Still I never told you)
O-oh
(I never told you)
O-oh
(I never told you)
O-oh
(I never told you)
Oh, don't you let me go
I'm afraid to be alone
Oh, don't you let me go
I'm afraid to be alone
In Fay Wildhagen's song "inevertoldyou," she sings about a failed relationship and the aftermath of the breakup. The opening verse of the song suggests that Fay has taken action and ended the relationship by spelling out the words, "now we're over." However, she is not completely over it as she says, "you've moved on but hey, I'm not done yet." Fay is still struggling with the breakup even as her ex-partner seems to have moved on with someone else. She expresses her insecurities about being alone, and she wants her ex to stay with her as she fears being by herself.
In the second verse, Fay's desperation to be closer to her ex-partner is apparent as she would "leave at any time to come over" and "walk a thousand lands." Despite her efforts to remain connected to her ex, he has moved on, and she can't stop thinking about the new woman in his life. She asks if they could take things slowly and that she is afraid of being alone.
In the final verse, Fay questions whether she should accept the situation and let it be or pretend not to see the new person in her ex's life. She acknowledges that the new woman will never know him the way she does or love him the way she did. While the song is about the pain of heartbreak and the fear of being alone, it also touches on the idea of acceptance and the difficulty of letting go fully.

I spelled the words and now we're over
I said something that caused the end of our relationship
You've moved on but hey, I'm not done yet
You have found someone new, but I still have feelings for you
Now you speak like we've never been
You act as if our past relationship did not exist
And I watch while you let her in
I see you starting a new relationship with someone else
Would you mind to take it just a little slower
Could you please slow down and consider my feelings before moving on so quickly
Oh, don't you let me go
Please don't leave me alone
I'm afraid to be alone
I am scared of being by myself
I would leave at any time to come over
I would do anything to be close to you
I'd walk a thousand lands to come closer
I am willing to go through any distance just to be near you
Now you move in secrecy
You are not being truthful about your new relationship
There's so much you're not telling me
There are things about your new relationship that you’re not willing to share with me
And, I can't stop thinking of her
I can't stop thinking of the person you are seeing
Should we just leave it, let it be
Should we just accept that our relationship is over?
Should I pretend to just not see
Should I ignore the fact that you're starting a new relationship?
That she'll never know you like I do
I know you better than any new person ever could
She'll never love like I love you
I love you more than anyone else ever could
O-oh
(Still I never told you)
(But I never expressed my feelings for you)
Oh, don't you let me go
Please don't leave me alone
I'm afraid to be alone
I am scared of being by myself
