Never Be The Same
Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you, who are you now?
Look into my eyes if you can't remember.
Do you remember, oh?

I can see, I can still find
You're the only voice my heart can recognize
But I can't hear you now, yeah.
I'll never be the same
I'm caught inside the memories, the promises
Are yesterdays and I belong to you.
I just can't walk away
'cause after loving you
I can never be the same.

And how can I pretend I've never known you?
Like it was all a dream, no.
I know I'll never forget
The way I always felt with you beside me
And how you loved me then, yeah.

I'll never be the same
I'm caught inside the memories, the promises
Are yesterdays and I belong to you.
I just can't walk away
'cause after loving you
I can never be the same.

You led me here,
Then I watched you disappear.
You left this emptiness inside
And I can't turn back time
No, stay!
Nothing compares to you.
Nothing compares to you.
I can't let you go,
Can't let you go.
I can't let go.

I'll never be the same,
Not after loving you,
Not after loving you, no.

I'll never be the same
I'm caught inside the memories, the promises
Are yesterdays and I belong to you.
I just can't walk away
'cause after loving you
I can never be the same.

I can never be the same.
I will never be the same.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.




I just can't walk away.
No, I can't walk away from you.

Overall Meaning

The singer still recognizes them and feels an intense connection to them, even though they cannot communicate with each other anymore. The singer is caught between the memories of their love and the present reality of their separation. They are tormented by the fact that their promises to each other are now just yesterdays, and their love is something that they can never go back to.


The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the singer is unable to move on from their love. They are trapped inside the memories, promises and the way they felt when they were together. They belong to each other, and the singer can never forget how it felt to be loved by them.

The ending of the song shows the singer's desperation and unwillingness to let go. They know that they can never be the same because their love has changed them forever. The song is a powerful reflection on lost love and the challenge of letting go.
