It's Over Now
Joey Albert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You
You turned and walk away
I didn't know what to say
I closed my eyes to hide
The pain I felt inside
I could never understand
How love went out of hand
And now there's nothing I can do

Though the feeling hasn't passed
Sad to say our love didn't last
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over
When I'm done forgetting you
You can say what you wanted to
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over now

Now I'm left here all alone
A heart without a home
How will I ever find
The love I left behind
Once, the days were ours to share
Now you don't even care
And there's still nothing I can do

Though the feeling hasn't passed
Sad to say our love didn't last
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over
When I'm done forgetting you
You can say what you wanted to
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over now...

Though the feeling hasn't passed
Sad to say our love didn't last
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over
When I'm done forgetting you
You can say what you wanted to
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over now

(Instrumental)

Though the feeling hasn't passed
Sad to say our love didn't last
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over
When I'm done forgetting you
You can say what you wanted to




Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over now

The lyrics of this song were originally written by Janice De Belen in a poem form when she was in her teens in the ’80s after breaking up with Gabby Concepcion, who used to be a Filipino heart-throb. The break-up was quite newsworthy at that time because she was left for someone else. The love triangle was between Sharon Cuneta – the young darling of blockbuster youth-oriented films of the ’80s, Gabby Concepcion – the handsomest young actor, and Janice de Belen – the princess of television soap opera.

@razelp8008

@@yakman008 I see. Iyan pa rin po ba talaga ang mga eksaktong words sa poem ni Janice De Belen? I mean wala po bang nabawas o naidagdag? Sino rin po ang nakaisip na gawin itong kanta?
