I'll never tell
Orchestra [Orchestra] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll never smile again
Until I smile at you
I'll never laugh again
What good would it do
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is true
I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you

Within my heart
I know I will never start




To smile again
Until I smile at you

Overall Meaning

The song "I'll Never Tell" by Orchestra is a soulful ballad that explores the depth of emotions experienced by a jilted lover. The lyrics present an overwhelming sense of sadness and despair as the singer confesses that he may never be able to smile, laugh, or love again after his heartbreak. The opening line "I'll never smile again until I smile at you" emphasizes the idea of unconditional love and loyalty that the singer feels towards his lover, despite the pain and disappointment that he has been subjected to.


The lyrics then go on to express the futility of any future love or relationships, as the heartbroken protagonist admits that he is so in love with his former partner that he could never love anyone else. The line "within my heart, I know I will never start to smile again until I smile at you" drives home the message that the singer is completely and utterly devoted to his lover, and cannot imagine finding happiness without him or her.


Overall, the song "I'll Never Tell" is a poignant representation of the melodramatic emotions that can come with a breakup. The emotional narrative is beautifully conveyed through the interweaving melody of the orchestra, which takes on the role of the singer as a grieving and melancholic individual.
