Have I Ever?
L'Âme Immortelle Lyrics

The song "Have I Ever?" by L'Âme Immortelle is a melancholic and reflective tune that speaks of a love that has withstood the test of time. The singer of the song is wrestling with the fact that their heart and memory seem to be stuck in the past, where they were once deeply in love with someone. The lyrics "Why is my memory still longing, is it still longing for you?" and "Why is my heart never beating? Is it still beating for you?" express these sentiments vividly. Despite the passage of time and the changes that have happened around them, the singer's love has not waned, adding to the poignancy of the song.

In the chorus, the singer asks the question "Have I ever been in love with you? Have you ever been in love with me?" This reflects their uncertainty about the legitimacy of their feelings and the possibility that perhaps the love was one-sided. In the following lines "I believe in you, you believe in me, and as times will pass, the gods agree, I'm in love with you, you're in love with me, but you're just too blind to see" further reinforce this concept, that despite the singer's conviction that they were in love, the other person may not have reciprocated it.

The last stanza "Why am I still breathing? Am I breathing because of you? Why is my pain never ceasing? This is, this is because of you" speaks of the heartbreak that the singer experiences. The pain they feel is not only due to the loss of love but also the realization that the person they loved may have never realized their love. The song's lyrics, coupled with the vocalist's emotive delivery, make for a haunting and impactful experience for the listener.
