Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody deserves to be treated this way
Leave it alone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know what you′re bout to say
Tomorrow is gonna be better than today
Yeah, yeah, yeah

But I keep running back
To someone in my past, that I wish I never had, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know what you′re bout to say
You could do better, yeah
Shit I wish I knew better yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know what you're bout to say
You can move on
But you ain't that strong
Have you ever been in love with someone that you′re scared of
Have you ever been so afraid to leave, that you can′t go from A to B
Have you ever
Have you ever been in love with someone that you're scared of
Have you ever been so ashamed to speak
That you don′t say a word to me
Have you ever told a lie to your girlfriends
Have you ever wanted to cry when you're smiling
Have you ever
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know what you′re bout to say
Swallow your pride, your ego's in the way, yeah
I bet you ain′t know I been with someone who hurt me
Who left and desert me, yeah
And he always came right back until I left his ass
The best decision I ever had
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You could do better, yeah
Shit I wish I knew better, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know what you're bout to say
You can move on

Have you ever been so afraid to leave, that you can't go from A to B
Have you ever,
Have you ever been in love with someone that you′re scared of
Have you ever been so ashamed to speak
That you don't say a word to me
Have you ever told a lie to your girlfriends
Have you ever wanted to cry when you′re smiling
You ain't got to lie
It′s ok I got you, tell the truth
Girl, you ain't got to lie
Have you ever left somebody hurtin' you
Have you ever
Oh, have you ever
The song “Have You Ever” by June’s Diary touches on the topic of being in an abusive relationship but being unable to leave because of fear, shame, or apprehension. The lyrics suggest that the singer knows she deserves better but still keeps returning to someone who has hurt her in the past. The repeated chorus “have you ever” implies that the experiences described in the song are relatable to many people who may have been in a similar situation.
The opening verse warns the singer's friend to leave an abusive partner and not tolerate such behavior. However, the chorus turns inward as the singer admits to experiencing similar situations herself. The second verse expands on the singer's personal experience in abusive relationships, revealing that she kept returning to someone who hurt her until she finally “left his ass.”
The overall message of the song is that it is essential to recognize and acknowledge harmful situations, even when it is difficult, and not let fear or shame keep one from seeking a better situation. The song encourages listeners who may have gone through similar experiences to speak up, seek help, and break the cycle of abuse.
