02 You Will Never Know
Imany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you feel sad there never was a story, obviously
To never be
And you will never know
I will never show
What I feel, what I need from you, no
You will never know
What I feel, what I need from you
With every smile comes my reality, irony
You won't find out what has been killing me
Can't you see me?
Can't you see?
And you will never know
I will never show
What I feel, what I need from you no
And you will never know
I will never show
What I feel, what I need from you no, no
You will never know
I will never show
What I feel, what I need from you
No no, no no, you'll never know
No, no no, you'll never know
No, no no
Love me, love me, love me, love me no
And you will never know
I will never show
What I feel, what I need from you no
You will never know
I will never show
What I feel, what I feel, what I feel
What I need, what I need from you no
The lyrics to Imany's song "You Will Never Know" depict a heart-wrenching situation where the singer is in love with someone who will never know how she feels. The opening lines, "It breaks my heart 'cause I know you're the one for me, Don't you feel sad there never was a story, obviously, To never be" set the tone of the song, expressing the regret and sorrow the singer feels because the relationship she desires will never be possible. The chorus repeats the phrase "You will never know, I will never show, What I feel, what I need from you," emphasizing how the singer has to keep her feelings hidden, never to be revealed.
The second verse adds to the sense of irony by saying, "With every smile comes my reality, irony, You won't find out what has been killing me, Can't you see me? Can't you see?" The singer seems to be saying that despite the fact that she sees the object of her affection regularly, he still won't be able to comprehend how much agony she's going through. The last lines, "Love me, love me, love me, love me no," imply a sense of desperation for the other person to reciprocate her feelings, but she recognizes that it will never happen.
Overall, "You Will Never Know" is a heartbreaking song about unrequited love and the pain of having to keep those emotions suppressed. The singer's yearning and sadness are palpable, creating an emotional resonance with anyone who's ever been in a similar situation.
