I Remember
Keyshia Cole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh
Remember
Ooh, I remember
And I wanna know
Where were you when I said I loved you?
And where were you when I cried at night?
Thinking of all the times we shared
I remember when my heart broke
I remember when I gave up lovin' you
My heart couldn't take no more of you
I was sad and lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I screamed, "I hated you"
But some how deep inside, still lovin' you
Sad and lonely
No one knew all the pain I went through
All the love, I saved deep in my heart for you
Didn't know, where I would go, where I would be
But you made me leave, and plus my heart it just
It just kept telling me so, oh
I remember when my heart broke
I remember when I gave up lovin' you
My heart couldn't take no more of you (I couldn't take no more)
I was sad and lonely ('cause I was sad and lonely)
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I said, "I hated you"
But some how deep inside, still lovin' you
So sad and lonely
There was nowhere else to go, oh
No body else to turn to, no
For the rest of my life
I promise myself I will love me first, genuinely
I remember when my heart broke
I remember when I gave up lovin' you
My heart couldn't take no more of you
I was sad and lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I said I hated you
But some how deep inside, still lovin' you
Sad and lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I gave up lovin' you
My heart couldn't take no more of you
So sad and lonely, hey
I remember when I stormed out
I remember when I gave, up loving you
I was sad and lonely
The song βI Rememberβ by Keyshia Cole is a powerful ballad about the pain and heartbreak that comes with a failed relationship. It begins with Keyshia wondering where her partner was when she needed him the most. The singer recalls waiting up crying and feeling lonely, longing for the person she loves to be there for her. The chorus is all about heartbreak, with Keyshia remembering the times her heart broke, gave up loving him, and walked out, often feeling sad and lonely with nobody to turn to. Keyshia portrays a deep sense of sadness and regret caused by the end of her relationship.
The lyrics reveal how Keyshia suffered privately without anyone knowing the pain she was going through, and how despite hating the person for leaving her, she still deeply loved him. The singer is reminiscing on how the decision to leave was not hers but was forced upon her. In the end, she promises to love herself genuinely and put herself first. The song is a testament to the pain and loneliness that can come with the end of a relationship.
