Remember
Liam Payne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How do you love someone so much
It makes you hate them?
'Cause you can't replace them
Why do I still hold on?
Why do I still hold on to feelings
When they're wasted?
I still can't see the light at the end of the tunnel
Just see those home town lights
We were both playing under
Wish I could press reset but it's not that easy
How can I forget someone
Who gave me so much to remember?
You gave me so much to remember
You got me stuck inside my mind
Everything's a reminder
How can I forget someone
Who gave me so much to remember?
How do you know someone so well
And then it changes?
All of a sudden, you're strangers
Thinkin' back on those days when
You'd put your feet on top of mine
On the living room floor
Well, tell me what was it for?
Oh, oh, oh
I still can't see the light at the end of the tunnel
Just see those home town lights
We were both playing under
Wish I could press reset but it's not that easy
How can I forget someone
Who gave me so much to remember?
You gave me so much to remember
You got me stuck inside my mind
Everything's a reminder
How can I forget someone
Who gave me so much to remember?
I just wanna know, just wanna know, do you still
Think about us, think about us and get chills?
I could say I won't, could say I won't, but I will
How can I forget someone
Who gave me so much to remember?
You gave me so much to remember
You got me stuck inside my mind, and
Everything's a reminder
How can I forget someone
Who gave me so much to remember?
You gave me so much to remember
(All of the nights, all of the time)
You got me stuck inside my mind
Everything's a reminder (Everything)
How can I forget someone
Who gave me so much to remember?
I just wanna know, just wanna know, do you still
Think about us, think about us and get chills?
I could say I won't, could say I won't, but I will
How can I forget someone
Who gave me so much to remember?
In Liam Payne's song Remember, he reflects on a past relationship that has left an indelible mark on his life. The lyrics depict his struggle to move on from someone who gave him so much to remember, despite the pain and heartache that came with it. He questions how one can love someone so intensely and yet hate them at the same time, and how feelings can persist even when they go unreciprocated. The chorus of the song serves as a poignant reminder of the past, with Liam expressing his desire to forget the pain but ultimately finding himself stuck in his own mind, unable to let go of the memories.
The song also touches on the notion of change and how it can turn two people who once knew each other well into strangers. Liam reminisces about simpler times when both he and his partner were carefree and in love, but acknowledges that those days are long gone. He wonders about the significance of certain memories and experiences shared with his partner, such as putting their feet on top of each other's on the living room floor, and questions what they meant in the grand scheme of things.
Overall, Remember is a poignant and introspective song that explores the complexities of love and heartbreak. It conveys the universal themes of nostalgia and regret, and how it can be difficult to let go of someone who has had such a profound impact on one's life.
