Never Know
Scarlett Rabe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
if you were perfect for me i'd never tell
and if i'm dreaming of you you'll never know
no no
i'm the one who walks by everyday
you're the one but you never look my way
too bad for you you'll never know
we could be the real deal forever oh oh
i know for me there's no one better no
and we'd even look so good together
but you don't know so i just walk by
and if i could find those words to say
i know you'd be mine all mine today
so sad for me you'll never know
you never know never know
we could be the real deal forever oh oh
i know for me there's no one better no
and we'd even look so good together
but you don't know so i just walk by
i'm not usually so tongue tied
wanna tell you my heart heaven knows i've tried
but all that comes out is butterflies
so once again i just walk by
and if i could find those words to say
i know you'd be mine all mine today
too bad for you so sad for me
if you never know if you never see
i'll tell you so someday maybe
you never know
you never know
In this song, Scarlett Rabe talks about a secret love that she has kept within herself. She insinuates that she would never tell the person how she feels because they would never know. The first verse suggests that even if she found the person sweet, she would still keep it to herself. She also mentions that she dreams of this person, but they will never know. The second verse emphasizes the fact that she walks by this person every day, but they never look her way. The chorus talks about how they could be together, but the person would never know because she cannot find the words to express her feelings.
The bridge suggests that she is usually not tongue-tied but is struggling to express her love to this particular person. She mentions that all that comes out of her mouth when she tries to express her love is butterflies. The last verse reveals that maybe she will tell the person someday, although there is no certainty. The lyrics of "Never Know" suggest unrequited love, fear of rejection, and missed opportunities.
