I Wonder
Spiteri Sharleen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See exactly what I mean
Every chance you get you seem to
Hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my mind
Stronger than before
If your memory serves you well
Hey, yeah, I look back on these things
I said before it?s too late
I wonder when you cry
Tell me no lie, is this how you feel?
I wonder when you cry
I tell you no lie, this is how I feel
I'd like to think you'd understand
Now there's someone else holding my hand
You're not the one I love
So don't stand in my way
You know that life for me
Has changed in many ways
If your memory serves you well
We're gonna meet again some day
Hey, yeah, I look back on these things
I said it before it?s too late
I wonder when you cry
Tell me no lie, is this how you feel?
I wonder when you cry
I tell you no lie, this is how I feel
With every chance you get
?Cause every time we met
Oh, you tried to hurt me
Hurt me more and more
If your memory serves you well
We're gonna meet again
I'll look back, I'll look back
I'll look back on these things
I wonder when you cry
Tell me no lie, is this how you feel?
I wonder when you cry
I tell you no lie, this is how I feel
I wonder when you cry
Tell me no lie, is this how you feel?
I wonder when you cry
I tell you no lie, this is how I feel
I'll look back on these things
I'll look back on these things
I'll look back on these things
The song "I Wonder" by Sharleen Spiteri is about a woman who has been hurt by a past lover, but has moved on with her life. She reflects on the pain that this person has caused her, but she has become stronger because of it. She expresses the hope that someday they will meet again, but at the same time, she has moved on with someone else. She wonders if this former lover still harbors feelings for her and if they feel the same pain that she once did.
In the first verse, Sharleen speaks about how she wants to come clean and tell the truth. She asks if this person understands the hurt they have caused her and that every time they hurt her, she became stronger. The second verse talks about the possibility of meeting again in the future, but Sharleen reflects that her life has changed and she is no longer in love with this person. The chorus repeats the line "I wonder when you cry" and asks if this person still feels the same pain that she once did.
Overall, the song is about moving on and finding strength in the face of betrayal. It's a reminder that even though people may hurt us, we have the power to grow and become stronger because of it.
