Love Never Came
Richard Bedford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Between the light and the rain
Hiding in the cracks in the walls
Trying to break my fall
As I lose you again
And you're gone
As though love never came
I've waited here
Holding on to pieces of the past
But nothing, nothing makes sense any more
I can't seem to push us back together
I thought we'd be forever
But you're gone
As though love never came
As though love turns and leaves me here again
As though love never came
I guess love always leaves me here
You leave me here
But I run from the shadow
The darkness always hides behinds the sun
I'm still holding on
In silence and the emptiness
The darkness seems to leave when you're gone
But I'm still holding on
But I'm still holding on
As though love never came
As though love turns and leaves me here again
As though love never came
As though love turns and leaves me here
You leave me here
The lyrics of Richard Bedford's song Love Never Came explore themes of heartbreak and the despair that comes with the end of a love affair. The song's opening lines "I've waited here between the light and the rain, hiding in the cracks in the walls" suggests that the singer is trapped in a liminal space, caught between the ups and downs of life, searching for solace.
The lyrics go on to express a painful realization-- that the love that once bound them together is gone. The repeated refrain "As though love never came" emphasizes the singer's disbelief that something so powerful and all-consuming could vanish so quickly, leaving them alone and adrift. They lament that despite their best efforts, they have been unable to hold on to the love that they thought would last forever.
The bridge section of the song is particularly poignant. The singer likens themselves to a shadow, running from the darkness that is always lurking just behind the light. They confess to feeling empty and alone, but at the same time, they can't let go. They hold on to the memories of what they once had, even though those memories only seem to deepen the pain of their loss.
Overall, the lyrics are a moving and introspective meditation on the devastating end of a relationship. They capture the confusion, sadness, and desperation of heartbreak, and suggest that sometimes, even the most intense love can simply fade away.

David c extremely depressing and sad lyricism , however, gives some hope .
