With Confidence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never let you go
When I see you again
Tell me what you know
I have been waiting for months
To hear your voice once more
God only knows
And oh I got caught in the memories of us
Every simple heart would trust
And our words are drenched in dust
Oh and my walls are covered in your name
Every breath is taken in pain
And I'll never hear you speak again (speak again)
I should have been
your protection oh protection oh
I should have seen
your direction oh direction oh
you didn't have to disappear
I know how much it hurts
with everything, we could have been
and everything we were
and I should have been
your protection oh protection oh
I keep thinking of you
Without you I am bare
You're the reason I'm still here
And now you're gone
I can't move on
Things just don't seem clear
With Confidence’s song ‘Keys’ is about the pain of losing someone close to you and wanting them to come back. The song portrays the feelings of loss, regret, and not being able to move on. The lyrics, “When I see you again, I’ll never let you go” and “And I’ll never hear you speak again” suggest that the person has died and the singer is unable to let go of their memories.
The lyrics reflect the emotions of the singer as they wait for months to hear from the person they have lost. There is a sense of longing in the lyrics ‘God only knows, what you left us for’. The singer feels helpless and unable to protect the person they have lost, and regrets not seeing the signs of their direction. The lyrics, “And my walls are covered in your name, every breath is taken in pain” convey the depth of sorrow and hurt the singer is feeling.
The overall message of the song is that time does not necessarily heal all wounds, and losing someone you love can be a heart-wrenching and ongoing experience. The song touches on the complexities and depth of the feelings associated with grief and loss, and the pain that the singer experiences as a result.

When I see you again
I'm eagerly waiting to meet you again
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go once I have you
Tell me what you know
Share everything you know with me
I have been waiting for months
I've been waiting a long time to meet you or hear from you
To hear your voice once more
To hear your voice again after a long period of silence
God only knows
Only God knows what happened to make you leave
What you left us for (what you left us for)
The reason you left is unknown, and it's affecting everyone around you
And oh I got caught in the memories of us
I can't stop thinking about our time together
Every simple heart would trust
Any person with a pure heart would trust us and our relationship
And our words are drenched in dust
Our old conversations and promises have faded away and lost their power
Oh and my walls are covered in your name
Everywhere I look, I remember you and think of you
Every breath is taken in pain
Thinking of you causes me emotional pain and heartache
And I'll never hear you speak again (speak again)
I've lost the ability to hear your voice ever since you left
I should have been your protection oh protection oh
I should have looked out for you and kept you safe
I should have seen your direction oh direction oh
I should have recognized the path you were taking and supported you
You didn't have to disappear
You didn't have to leave without a word or warning
I know how much it hurts
I understand how much pain you must have been going through to leave
With everything, we could have been
We could have had a great future together if you had stayed
And everything we were
Our happy memories and moments have been ruined by your sudden departure
I keep thinking of you
You're always on my mind
Without you I am bare
I feel incomplete and empty without you in my life
You're the reason I'm still here
The thought of you keeps me going and motivates me to continue
And now you're gone
You've left, and I don't know what to do without you
I can't move on
I'm stuck in the past and can't seem to let go
Things just don't seem clear
I'm having trouble understanding why you had to leave and what the future holds for me
