And You Don't Remember
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut through my mind
Tragically our love has died
Memories confine my head
Bitterly I face the end
Trustingly
I gave myself to you
Believing your lies
And you don't remember
Every time you told me
You were mine forever
For eternity
And you don't remember
How you used to hold me
How we'd melt together
How you needed me
How we used to be
In love
Stranded here
In nothingness
With only tears
And loneliness
Foolishly
I gave my soul to you
I let you inside
Believing your lies
And I don't remember
Every time you told me
You were mine forever
For eternity
And you don't remember (and you don't remember)
How you used to hold me (how you used to hold me)
How we'd melt together
How you needed me
How we used to be
Helplessly
I fell so deep
I was so naive
To let you in
Why did I let you in
To my heart
And you don't remember
Anything that you told me (anything that you told me)
You were mine forever (you were mine forever)
For eternity
I know you don't remember (and you don't remember)
How you used to hold me (how you used to hold me)
How we'd melt together, together
How you needed me
How we used to be in love ho oh oh
The lyrics to Mariah Carey's song "And You Don't Remember" are a raw and emotional portrayal of the aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening lines of "Shattered dreams, cut through my mind, tragically our love has died" paint a picture of devastation and heartbreak. The memories of the relationship haunt the singer, confining her to the past as she confronts the bitter end of her love affair.
The song tells the story of two people who once shared a deep connection, but whose love has now evaporated. From the perspective of the singer, she trusted her lover and gave herself to him, only to be met with lies and dishonesty. The use of the phrase "believing your lies" highlights the betrayal and hurt she has endured. Despite this, the lover has seemingly forgotten the promises he made, and the memories they once shared have been lost.
The song speaks to the universal theme of lost love and the pain it can leave behind. Throughout the lyrics, the singer laments how her former lover seems to have forgotten the meaningful moments they shared, contrasting their current state of "loneliness" with the passionate love they once experienced. The repetition of lines such as "and you don't remember" and "how we used to be" reinforce the idea of a relationship that has been left in the past, with no hope of rekindling the love that was lost.

Shattered dreams
My hopes and aspirations for our future have been utterly destroyed
Cut through my mind
It's painful and constantly on my mind
Tragically our love has died
We were in love, but sadly it has ended now
Memories confine my head
I can't stop thinking about the memories we had
Bitterly I face the end
I'm dealing with the end of our relationship with a lot of resentment and anger
Trustingly
With complete faith and confidence
I gave myself to you
I trusted you with my emotions and well-being
I let you inside
I allowed you to be an important part of my life
Believing your lies
I was deceived by your false promises and deception
And you don't remember
You have forgotten or chosen to ignore the things you said to me
Every time you told me
Whenever you promised or assured me
You were mine forever
You claimed to belong to me forever
For eternity
For all time; forever
How you used to hold me
The way you used to embrace me affectionately
How we'd melt together
How we would embrace so intimately that it felt like we were becoming one
How you needed me
How much you relied on me and wanted me in your life
How we used to be
The way we used to interact and radiate love towards each other
In love
Expressing our romantic feelings for each other
Stranded here
Feeling completely alone and abandoned
In nothingness
Without anything to hold on to or be happy about
With only tears
I am inconsolable and all I have left is tears
And loneliness
A deep feeling of sadness and isolation
Foolishly
I was naive and trusting, without considering that you were insincere
I gave my soul to you
I entrusted you with my very being, my heart and soul
Helplessly
Without any ability to stop myself from becoming more invested or hurt
I fell so deep
I fell in love so strongly and so quickly
I was so naive
I didn't realize that you were only pretending to love me
To let you in
To allow you to become so important to me
Why did I let you in
I'm asking myself why I was so vulnerable and allowed you to hurt me
Anything that you told me
All the words and promises that came out of your mouth
You were mine forever
The promise you made to always be there for me
I know you don't remember
I understand that you have chosen to forget or you're pretending like it never happened
together
Side by side; in unison
How we used to be in love ho oh oh
The joyful and romantic feeling we had before everything fell apart
