Everytime
Nick Heyward Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could lie here for my whole life
But you know I have to go
Take a ride home on a rocket ship
Like I'm old before my time
And I don't say good night

Every time that I'd lie to you
I'd tried enough for you
I died enough for you
Every night that I'd go to bed
I'd tried enough for you
I'd lied enough for you to see through

All my life flashed by
Before my eyes
The railway outside the window
Never looked so drab
Oh, I never felt this bad
Never felt this bad

Every time that I'd lie to you
I'd tried enough for you
I died enough for you
Every night that I'd go to bed
I'd lied enough for you
I'd died enough for you to see through

Oh, baby, I'm so see-through
Maybe I don't know you
Every time that I'd lie to you
I'd tried enough for you
I died enough for you
Every night that I'd go to bed
I'd lied enough for you
I'd died enough for you to see through
Oh, I'm so see-through




I'd lied enough for you
I'd died enough for you

Overall Meaning

The song "Everytime" by Nick Heyward explores the emotional turmoil of a person who has been lying to their loved one. The opening lines suggest that the person would rather stay in the moment and continue to lie, but they know that they have to leave and face the consequences of their actions. The rocket ship represents a quick getaway, as if they're desperate to escape the situation they've put themselves in. Even though they know they should say good night, they can't bring themselves to do it, perhaps because it would make the situation real.


The lyrics "Every time that I'd lie to you, I'd tried enough for you, I died enough for you" highlight the internal struggle of the person to own up to their lies. They have tried to keep the truth from their loved one, but it has taken a toll on them, with each lie feeling like a death of sorts. The repetition of this verse underlines the gravity of the situation.


The final lines "Oh, baby, I'm so see-through, maybe I don't know you" suggest that the person realizes that their actions have led to a breakdown in their relationship. They are transparent, and perhaps their loved one can see right through them. The admission that they may not even know their partner anymore adds another layer of complexity to the situation.


Overall, "Everytime" is a poignant examination of the lasting impact of lying on a relationship. Heyward's lyrics offer a frank depiction of the toll that dishonesty can take, with repetition of key phrases emphasizing the weight of guilt.
