When Was The Last Time?
Rhys Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Was I a fool for thinkin'
It's just a phase we're goin' through?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
'Cause lately somethin' missin'
It's like our hearts are out of tune
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

You're fakin' a feelin'
I wish I believed it
When was the last time that you loved me?
Tell me the truth now
You're draggin' the pain out
'Cause when was the last time that you loved me?
'Cause you don't love me anymore

I know you're scared to break me
It always hurts to hurt someone
But you can't save me, there's no changin'
The height I'm fallin' from
When you're gone

You're fakin' a feelin'
I wish I believed it
When was the last time that you loved me?
Tell me the truth now
You're draggin' the pain out
'Cause when was the last time that you loved me?
'Cause you don't love me anymore

I'm beggin' you, cut me cold
Beggin' you, let me go
Don't make me stay
'Cause, girl, I can't sleep at night
Knowin' you're by my side but so far away




You're so far away

You're fakin' a feelin'
And I wish I believed it
When was the last time that you loved me?
Tell me the truth now
You're draggin' the pain out
When was the last time that you loved me?
'Cause you don't love me
You don't love me
No, you don't love me anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rhys Lewis’s song When Was The Last Time explore the feeling of a love that is slowly fading away. In the first verse, the singer questions if they were foolish for thinking that their troubled relationship was only temporary, implying that they may have been in denial about the state of their love. The second verse mentions the other person faking their feelings, while the singer wishes they could believe it. The chorus then asks the question that has been building up throughout the song: when was the last time the other person loved the singer? The pain of the situation is clear as the singer begs to be let go, acknowledging that it hurts to hurt someone, but that they need to move on.


The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is struggling to stay afloat, and the singer realizing that it may be time to let go. There is a sense of melancholy throughout the song, with the repeated “oohs” in the background adding to the feeling of something missing. The use of rhetorical questions in the chorus adds to the desperation of the situation and the longing for a truthful answer.
