Never Be The Same
Regine Velasquez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either of us can say or do
Can change the way you feel tonight
Sometimes love just slips out of sight
Just one thing before you go
Just one thing that you′ve got to know
No one will ever touch me that way
The way that you did that very first day
And I'll
Never be the same without you here
I′ll live alone
Hide myself behind my tears
And I'll
Never be the same without your love
I'll live alone
Try so hard to rise above
The years go by
There′s always someone new
To try and help me forget about you
Time and again it does me no good
Love never feels the way that it should
I loved you then I guess I′ll love you forever
And even though I know we could never stay together
I think about how it could have been
If we could just start all over again
It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either of us can say or do




Can change the way you feel today
Sometimes love just slips away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Never Be the Same" by Regine Velasquez deal with the aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The opening lines acknowledge that the relationship was good for both parties, but unfortunately, something must have happened to cause it to end. The second line suggests that the cause of the breakup was significant, and that there is nothing that can be done or said at this point to change the way the other person feels. This sentiment is reinforced by the line "sometimes love just slips out of sight".


Despite the emotional pain caused by the end of the relationship, the singer has one last thing to say to their former lover before they leave, and that is that no one will ever touch them the way that they did on the very first day they met. This line is significant because it suggests that the singer still has deep feelings for their ex, and that even though they know they can't be together, they will always cherish the memory of their time together.


The rest of the lyrics describe the struggle to move on from the relationship. The singer tries to forget about their ex by getting involved with other people, but nothing seems to work. The line "love never feels the way that it should" suggests that the singer feels disillusioned with love and relationships in general. However, in the end, they acknowledge that the love they felt for their ex was real and that they will always love them, even though they know they can never be together again.

Nobody ever sang this song from "the album of the year 1981" better.👏
One of the audiophile highlights on this best studio recording Regine ever released, "Low Key".🎧
However, there are obviously a few "strayed souls" (more precisely currently 5, (Feb. 2020)) who expected to hear a cover of the song by Camila Cabello. 🤣

This is a very tasteful rendition!

NONE OTHER BUT YOU... WILL STILL BE THE SAME
