Only Reminds Me of You
Jed Madela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's only a dream
A vision of what used to be
The laughter, the sorrow
Pictures in time
Fading to memories
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let it know
I tried to run from your side
But each place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When I turn out of the light
Even the night
It only reminds me of you
I needed my freedom
That's what I've thought
But I was a fool to believe
My heart cries while you cry
Rivers of tears
But I was too blind to see
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know
I tried to run from your side
But each place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When I turn out of the light
Even the night
It only reminds me of you
Only you…
Please come back to me
I'm down on my knees
Girl can't you see.
I tried to run from your side
But each place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When I turn out of the light
Even the night
It only reminds me of you
The song "Only Reminds Me of You" is a ballad sung by Jed Madela, a Filipino singer. The opening lyrics talk about seeing someone beside the singer, but knowing that it's only a dream, a vision of what used to be. The laughter, sorrow and pictures shared between the two characters are all now fading memories. However, the singer is still struggling to let go of this person, and wonders if it is too late to do something about it.
As the song progresses, Jed Madela goes on to describe how he tried to run from the person, but every place he went to, reminded him of her. That includes when he turns out the lights or during the night. He acknowledges that he wanted his freedom, but now realizes he was a fool to believe so, especially when his heart is crying the same tears that he sees on his lover's face. The song ends with a plea for her to come back and for her to see that he's begging for her return.
Overall, the song is a relatable and heartfelt portrayal of the universal experience of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a past relationship.

It's been a year since you left me. Pero hanggang ngayon di ko parin matanggap. Sobrang sakit nung sinabi mo sakin na "nagsisisi ka na nakilala mo ako". Pero kahit na ganun mahal parin kita. I love you, Thank you and Sorry. 🤨❤️
