Still
Lionel Ritchie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm without you once again
You laughed at me,
You said you never needed me
I wonder if you need me now?
So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn't say
Where did we go?
Where'd we go?
Lost but never found
You know we let each other down
But then most of all
I do love you
Still
We played the games that people play
We made our mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me
Cause I needed you so desperately!
We were too blind to see
But then the most of all
I do love you
Still
In Lionel Richie's song "Still," the artist laments the absence of a past lover. The song speaks to the anguish Richie feels even after their relationship has ended. It's clear that the two of them have drifted apart over time. He recalls how she laughed at him when they were together, but the pain of their separation is still palpable. He questions whether she still needs him, and wonders where they went wrong in their relationship. They had so many dreams that they never realized and so many things they didn't say to each other. In the end, Richie takes solace in knowing that despite everything, he still loves her.
The song speaks to a universal truth about lost love. It's a relatable experience for many people who have gone through the pain of a breakup. It's a reminder that even when a relationship ends, the feelings that were once shared don't disappear. The memories linger, and the heartache can last for a long time. This song captures that feeling perfectly.

If He is with us, & they are with Him, they can’t be far away…❤
