Don't look back
Soave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remembering the moments
And feeling once again the pain
I once would have forgiven you
But now it's much to late
In time I strongly believe
You and I were meant to be
Intentions to be forever
But time has changed everything
You keep playing all your games
And I, I just walk away
Now you say your love is true
Now that it's too late and I'm over you

[Chorus]
Don't look back, baby it's time to carry on
It's too late to realize you need me after I'm gone
Don't look back, I won't be the fool that I once was
To ever believe that I was your only love

At times I should have noticed
But love made me so blind to see
That your love was anything but true
And only deceiving me
I gave you all my love girl
And in return you gave me lies
It's not so easy to come and return to me after all this time
You keep playing all your games
And I, I just walk away
Now you say your love is true
Now that it's too late and I'm over you

[Chorus: x2]

The only things left to say
Are a few words of my advice
The best thing you can do is change
And leave all the games behind
It's too late to say sorry
Understand my point of view
All the trust I had in you is gone
There's no one to blame but
You keep playing all your games
And I, I just walk away
Now you say your love is true
Now that it's too late and I'm over you





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Soave's song "Don't Look Back" are a reflection of the emotional rollercoaster of a failed relationship. The song expresses the singer's disappointment and heartbreak, and also reveals a sense of betrayal that she has faced. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about past moments and feeling the pain of the past which she once would have forgiven. But now it’s too late. Although the singer strongly believed that she and her partner were meant to be forever, time changed everything. Her partner continued playing games, and the singer finally walked away. Now that her partner says she loves her truly, it doesn't matter anymore because the singer is over it. The chorus is a firm request to her partner to not look back, as it's time to move on. The singer won't be the fool that she once was and believes that she wasn't her partner's only love.


The second verse of the song reflects the singer's realization that she was blinded by love and never noticed her partner's true intentions. Her partner's love was just a deception that took a toll on the singer's life. Although she gave all her love to her partner, she received only lies in return. After a long time, her partner wants to come back, but it's not easy to return and gain her trust again. The singer's advice to her partner is to change and leave behind all the games they played. Unfortunately, for her, it's too late to say sorry, and there's no one to blame but her partner.
