Serenade
R. Leoncavallo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Changed your face
Like sunshine turns to rain
Broke my heart
It's time to get replaced
Make a wish
To be in a better place
Wish you were here to stay
I told her I don't leave my house and she was into it
Don't look the same as them cause girl I ain't no basic bitch
I guess she saw me on the gram, I guess she liked the pics
She means a lot to me
And I don't even need to tell her yeah I know that she knows
And I'm drinking, passing out while rocking Valentino
I shed a tear knowing things are bound to change
It's been a while since the last time I saw you girl
Nothing replaces this feeling it's more than surreal
You're more than worth it, in my eyes you're perfect
You're there when I'm hurting, You're all that I want you to be
It's been a while since the last time I saw you girl
Nothing replaces this feeling it's more than surreal
You're more than worth it, in my eyes you're perfect
You're there when I'm hurting, You're all that I want you to be
It's been a while since the last time I saw you girl
Nothing replaces this feeling it's more than surreal
You're more than worth it, in my eyes you're perfect
You're there when I'm hurting, You're all that I want you to be
It's been a while since the last time I saw you girl
Nothing replaces this feeling it's more than surreal
You're more than worth it, in my eyes you're perfect
You're there when I'm hurting, You're all that I want you to be
It's been a while since the last time I saw you girl
Nothing replaces this feeling it's more than surreal
Wish you were here to stay
It's been awhile since the last time I saw you girl




Nothing replaces this feeling it's more than surreal
Wish you were here to stay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of R. Leoncavallo's "Sérénade" depict the singer's longing for someone who has seemingly moved on from their relationship. The opening lines convey a sense of betrayal, as the person he once knew has "changed [their] face" and "broke [his] heart." The singer wishes for a better situation, a desire that is further articulated when he repeats the phrase "wish you were here to stay." Throughout the song, there is a sense of desperation for this person's return - the singer is "drinking, passing out" and feeling emotional while wearing designer clothes. Despite trying to cope with the loss, he cannot shake the feeling that this person was "more than worth it" and "perfect."


Line by Line Meaning

Changed your face
You've changed the way you treat me


Like sunshine turns to rain
Your love for me has faded away


Broke my heart
You hurt me deeply


It's time to get replaced
I need to move on and find someone new


Make a wish
I hope to find happiness again


To be in a better place
To find a better situation without you


Wish you were here to stay
I miss you and wish you had not left


I told her I don't leave my house and she was into it
I found someone who accepts me for who I am


Don't look the same as them cause girl I ain't no basic bitch
I am unique and stand out from others


I guess she saw me on the gram, I guess she liked the pics
She found me on social media and was interested in me


She means a lot to me
I care deeply about her


And I don't even need to tell her yeah I know that she knows
She understands how I feel without me having to say it


And I'm drinking, passing out while rocking Valentino
I cope with my emotions by drinking and trying to look good


I shed a tear knowing things are bound to change
I am sad and afraid of the changes that will come


You're more than worth it, in my eyes you're perfect
I see you as valuable and flawless


You're there when I'm hurting, You're all that I want you to be
You support me and fulfill my needs when I'm in pain


It's been a while since the last time I saw you girl
I haven't seen you in a long time


Nothing replaces this feeling it's more than surreal
No substitute exists, it's a surreal experience
