Never Really Mine
Julie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my heart lost its mind
Passion doesn't need a reason
I hung on every word
But never really heard
What I made myself believe in
I was yours forever from the day we met
You were never really mine
Never really mine
I was cought up in the fantasy
Of what I wanted us to be
But I was only blind
You were never really mine
I used to cry at night
Tryin' to hold on tight
To the ghost of my illusions
How do you lose a love
That never really was
Is there any resolution
I though that you would come around
I thought you'd change
Now this cold reality
Is all that remains
You were never really mine
Never really mine
I was cought up in the fantasy
Of what I wanted us to be
But I was only blind
You were never really mine
I opened up my eyes
And now I realized...
You were never really mine
Never really mine
I was cought up in the fantasy
Of what I wanted us to be
But I was only blind
You were never really mine
- repeat to end -
"Never Really Mine" by Julie is a heartbreaking song about being caught up in a fantasy that was never really there. The song talks about the singer losing themselves in the eyes of someone else, hanging on to every word spoken to them. Despite never really hearing what was being said, the singer still believed in the idea of a relationship with their love interest, even though it was all in their head.
As time goes on, the singer becomes increasingly aware that their love interest was never really theirs - hence the title of the song. They realize that the idea of a relationship was something they built up in their own mind, owing to their own illusions and fantasy. They questioned how one could lose a love that was never really there, but eventually they find resolution and understand that the cold reality is all that remains.
The song is a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of finding intimate companionship without setting realistic boundaries, and how being caught up in an idea of someone is no substitute for genuine feelings. It is a reminder to stay grounded and realistic when pursuing - or being pursued - by someone and avoid getting wrapped up in a pleasant illusion because, in the end, it can lead to heartache and disappointment.
Line by Line Meaning
You looked into my eyes
When you first met me, you made prolonged eye contact
And my heart lost its mind
I became deeply infatuated with you
Passion doesn't need a reason
The extent of my feelings were not based on rationality
I hung on every word
I was completely captivated by everything you said
But never really heard
I didn't truly comprehend the reality of the situation
What I made myself believe in
I convinced myself of a falsehood
I was yours forever from the day we met
I committed myself fully to you early on
'Till I realized that it was all in my head
Once I faced the truth, my perceived reality dissipated
I was cought up in the fantasy
I allowed my imagination to run wild
Of what I wanted us to be
I projected my ideal relationship onto us
But I was only blind
My intense emotions prevented me from seeing the reality
You were never really mine
You were never truly committed to me
I used to cry at night
I would mourn the loss of something that never existed
Tryin' to hold on tight
I desperately tried to salvage what was never there
To the ghost of my illusions
I was holding onto something that only ever existed in my mind
How do you lose a love
How can you move on from something that never existed?
That never really was
Our love was nothing more than a figment of my imagination
Is there any resolution
Can I truly move on from something that never existed?
I thought that you would come around
I held out hope that you would eventually reciprocate my feelings
I thought you'd change
I assumed you would be different than you truly were
Now this cold reality
The harsh truth has finally set in
I opened up my eyes
I faced the truth about our relationship
And now I realized...
I have come to a deep understanding
You were never really mine
You could never be mine because you were never truly committed
Repeat to end
The cycle of self-delusion repeats indefinitely
