have you ever

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The unsentimental things I do
Will have driven out the ghosts,
Somehow,
And pulled me through
If I tend to disregard your touch
Well, it seems to me it would be
Feel that much
But sometimes a photograph
Can make me cry or force a laugh
And somehow the memory
Of how complete we used to be
Is keeping me from you
If you ever hear me doubt the past
It's a simple fact; we didn't last
Run aground on hard times
While the good times flew too fast
I'm not sure if we can make amends
This may be the way out story ends
With too little left for lovers
And too much for friends
But sometimes a photograph
Can make me cry or force a luagh
And somehow the memory
Of how complete we used to be
Is keeping me from you
So don't believe it's true
If I ever say I'm over you
In "Have You Ever," www.majestic.art.pl describes the conflicted emotions that come with trying to move on from a past love. The song expresses feelings of doubt, confusion, and longing for what once was. The lyrics suggest that even if the singer claims to be over their former partner, the memories and ghosts of the relationship linger on. The unsentimental things they do are a defense mechanism, a way to forget and move forward, but deep down, they still feel the pain and loss of the past.
The singer's ambivalent attitude towards their ex- is evident in lines like "If I tend to disregard your touch" and "I'm not sure if we can make amends." They acknowledge the fact that the relationship was flawed and ultimately doomed, but they also recognize the beauty and completeness it once held. The nostalgic power of a photograph serves as a metaphor for the singer's feelings. It can stir up memories of both joy and sadness, reminding them of what they've lost and what they once had.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of bittersweet resignation. The singer knows that they can't go back and change what went wrong, but they also can't fully let go of the past. The memories and emotions are too powerful to ignore, and the singer finds themselves caught in a limbo of wanting to move on but feeling unable to do so.
Line by Line Meaning
If I ever say I'm over you
If I ever claim to be done with you
The unsentimental things I do
The rational actions I take
Will have driven out the ghosts,
Will have rid me of the memories
Somehow,
In some way
And pulled me through
And helped me move on
If I tend to disregard your touch
If I seem unaffected by your affection
Well, it seems to me it would be
To me, it appears
Such a waste of time to let this poor heart
It would be pointless to let this heart
Feel that much
Feel too deeply for you
But sometimes a photograph
Occasionally, a picture
Can make me cry or force a laugh
Can evoke tears or laughter from me
And somehow the memory
And somehow the recollection
Of how complete we used to be
Of how whole we once were
Is keeping me from you
Is preventing me from moving on
If you ever hear me doubt the past
If you ever hear me question our history
It's a simple fact; we didn't last
It's plain to see that we didn't endure
Run aground on hard times
We encountered difficult circumstances
While the good times flew too fast
While our joyful moments were too fleeting
I'm not sure if we can make amends
I'm uncertain if we can reconcile
This may be the way out story ends
Our tale may reach its conclusion here
With too little left for lovers
With not enough affection remaining
And too much for friends
And too much awkwardness between us
So don't believe it's true
Thus, don't believe what I say
If I ever say I'm over you
If I ever tell you I've moved on
