The Greatest Love
Jamali Lyrics

There was a time
Time has passed since a certain period when something was true.

When I believed
There was a point in time when I had faith in something or someone.

You'd be the one for me
I once thought of you as being someone who is a perfect match for me.

You had a way
You had a quality or mannerism about you that stood out.

That made me feel
Your actions and words had an impact on me.

I was captured totally
I was completely taken in by you and your actions.

So how was I to know
I had no reason or indication to assume something else.

The cruel way things would go?
I did not expect things to turn out badly or harshly.

You shut me out
You stopped communicating with me or distanced yourself.

Pushed me away
You created distance between us or rejected me.

But now you're back trying to get your way
You have returned and are trying to manipulate me into doing what you want.

(Don't want) You to call me
I do not want you to contact me via phone.

(I don't want) You to show up at my door
I do not want you to appear unexpectedly at my residence.

'Cause you didn't want to make it right
You never wanted to repair our relationship or make amends.

And I needed you to love me and to hold me tight
I required your affection and physical touch to feel secure.

You couldn't been here with me today
You are absent in my life at present.

But you never let your feelings show
You never expressed your true emotions to me.

I would have been proud to hear you say
It would have made me happy if you had stated something specific.

You're the greatest love I'll ever know
You are considered the best and ultimate love by me.

But you treated me wrong in every way
You mistreated me in every aspect of our relationship.

And you kept me down and I would love
You oppressed me and I wish for something else.

To take a good look at me now
I have changed and improved in various ways since then.

I'm the greatest love you'll never know, oh
I am now the best love that you will never experience.

I will go
I am leaving or moving forward.

I haven't thought about you so long
It has been a very long time since I last thought about you.

Could it be that you heard
Is it possible that you found out about my recent changes?

Finally I'm feeling strong?
Am I finally feeling confident and capable again?

But there's no place in my life
I have moved on from you and there is no room for you in my life.

For the one that did me wrong
I do not want anything to do with someone who wronged me.

(Don't want) Creeping around me
I do not want you to secretly observe or monitor me.

(I don't want) You to phone me late at night
I do not want you to call me during the night as it is intrusive.

Why didn't you want me
What was the reason for you not wanting me in your life?

At the time you had me?
You had me in your life at a specific point in time.

And now that you see me all around you realise all it could have been
Now that you see my positive changes, you understand what could have been between us.

You hid away from me
You concealed your true intentions and feelings from me.

You wouldn't show me exactly how you felt
You refused to clearly express your emotions to me.

I'm the greatest love you'll never get
I am now the best love that you will never have access to.

I'm the greatest love you'll never know
You will never fully understand or experience the best love that I am capable of giving.
