Won't Go Away
The Feeling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say I don't need you
But I don't believe you
Everybody needs everyone, well
Everybody needs someone

All the things that you borrowed
Left you scared of tomorrow
How you ever gonna pay back'
You'll have a heart attack

But every little thing that you gave away
Every little kiss up until today
You're gonna get it back somehow
I thought you wanna know by now

(Won't go away)
It never goes away
(Won't go away)
It never ever goes away

(Won't go away)
And even when you're gone
(Won't go away)
Your memory will linger on

(Won't go away)
It never goes away
(Won't go away)
It never ever goes away

(Won't go away)
Love will make you strong
(Won't go away)
But don't forget to pass it on

If you've ever been lonely
Then you'll know that I'm only
One person from happiness
One person away from happiness

And it may never happen
'cause I'm never in fashion
And it feels like I'm getting old
I feel I'm getting old

But every little thing that I gave away
Every little smile up until today
I'm gonna get it back somehow
I'm gonna get it back right now

(Won't go away)
It never goes away
(Won't go away)
It never ever goes away

(Won't go away)
And even when you're gone
(Won't go away)
Your memory will linger on

(Won't go away)
It never goes away
(Won't go away)
It never ever goes away

(Won't go away)
Love will make you strong
(Won't go away)
But don't forget to pass it on, yeah
(Won't go away, won't go away)

Now you've left a trace
In hearts and time and space

(Won't go away)
It never goes away
(Won't go away)
It never ever goes away

(Won't go away)
Even when you're gone
(Won't go away)
Your memory will linger on

(Won't go away)
It never goes away
(Won't go away)
It never ever goes away

(Won't go away)
Love will make you strong
(Won't go away)
But don't forget to pass it on

(Won't go away)
It never goes away
(Won't go away)
It never ever goes away

(Won't go away)
Even when you're dead and gone
(Won't go away)
Your memory will linger on

(Won't go away)
It never goes away
(Won't go away)
It never ever goes away

(Won't go away)
Love will make you strong
(Won't go away)
But don't forget to pass it on

(Won't go away)
Don't forget to pass it on
(Won't go away)
Don't forget to pass it on

(Won't go away)
Don't forget to pass it on




(Won't go away)
Don't forget to pass it

Overall Meaning

The Feeling's song Won't Go Away explores the theme of love, loneliness, and memory. The lyrics begin with the singer's doubts about the sincerity of his partner's declaration that he doesn't need her. He goes on to suggest that everyone needs someone in their life to thrive. The second verse, however, reflects the singer's personal experience of feeling lonely but acknowledges that he is only one person away from happiness. He relives the moments he gave away love, and how he hopes to get it back somehow. In the chorus, the phrase "Won't go away" seems to refer to the memories of love that remain even when people have moved on or are gone. The song implies that memories can be a source of strength, but they shouldn't overshadow the present or the future.


The lyric is personal and emotional, and it showcases the band's ability to combine vulnerable lyrics with a catchy tune. The Feeling's Won't Go Away was released in 2008 as part of their second album, Join With Us. The song was well-received and earned the band a top 40 hit. The song's popularity was boosted by its use on several TV shows and commercials. The song has an infectious melody, and Dan Gillespie Sells' voice is both smooth and powerful, carrying the song's message with grace.

Soaking wet clothes
I called you from a payphone
Could barely hear what you say
But you told me that i am no longer the one you want

I don't know why you left
I don't know why, know why
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye, goodbye
I know it's been a year, but sometimes I still shed a tear thinking of you

What can I say
These feelings won't go away
Time keeps passing by
But I can't get you off my mind
These feelings won't go away, away

I'm tryna be strong
I'm holding on
I practice my best fake smile
So that no one can see how I've been feeling inside, inside

I don't know why you left
I don't know why, know why
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye, goodbye
I know it's been a year, but sometimes I still shed a tear thinking of you

What can I say
These feelings won't go away
Time keeps passing by
But I can't get you off my mind
These feelings won't go away, away

Whoa...oh...why, Whoa...oh...why
Did you leave without goodbyes, leave without goodbyes
Whoa...oh...why, Whoa...oh...why
Did you leave without goodbyes, goodbyes

What can I say
These feelings won't go away
Time keeps passing by
But I can't get you off my mind
These feelings won't go away, go away, away

Whoa...oh...why (what can i say)
Whoa...oh...why (these feelings won't go away)
Whoa...oh...why
Did you leave without goodbyes (what can i say)
Leave without goodbyes (these feelings won't go away, away)
