Never Really Loved Me
Kygo Lyrics

You say you only ever wanted love
You claimed that love was all you ever wanted in a relationship.

As my hand falls from your face
I let go of your face as you were pulling away from me.

Your tears are showing me you're giving up
Your tears made me realize that you were giving up on us.

And you start to walk away
You started to leave.

I said, "Hold on, darling, it's harder to breathe"
I begged you to stop leaving, because it was getting difficult for me to breathe due to anxiety.

As I reach for your hand while you're turning to leave
I tried to hold your hand as you were walking away from me.

Now I know that it's over between you and me
I finally realized that our relationship is over.

I hope that you find all that you want
I wish that you find everything you were looking for in a relationship.

I wasted moments that I can't get back
I wasted time in the relationship which I can never get back.

For something special that I thought we had
It was for something unique that I thought we shared in our relationship.

It took too long but now I know
I took too much time to realize, but now I understand.

I guess you never really loved me at all
I came to the conclusion that you never truly loved me, after all.

There's so much good that lies in front of me
There are good things ahead of me in life.

Sometimes the start is the end
Sometimes the beginning of a relationship leads to its end.

Just like the summer steals the memories
Just like summer steals memories, time, and life from people, so too has this relationship ended.

Oh, it's warming me up again
The memories of our past have warmed me up emotionally.

I shoulda listened when my mother said
I should have listened to my mother when she warned me about the heartbreaking nature of love.

All that my heart would do is wreck my head
I should have paid attention when my mother warned me that my heart would only cause me to suffer.
