Sonora.ID – Berikut ini liirk lagu 'I Was Never There' milik The Weeknd featuring Gesaffelstein yang dirilis pada 30 Maret 2018 lalu.
Melansir Genius, pada “I Was Never There,” The Weeknd memberikan lirik tentang akhir dari hubungan yang bermakna.
Dia tidak dapat menangani perpisahan dengan cara yang sehat, menggunakan obat-obatan, alkohol, dan seks bebas untuk menghilangkan rasa sakit. Sementara dia menyadari bahwa ini merusak diri sendiri, dia menyalahkan pihak lain.
Seperti My Dear Melancholy lainnya, ada spekulasi apakah Bella Hadid atau Selena Gomez adalah subjek dari lagu ini. Kemungkinan yang terakhir, mengingat dia tampil sebagai tema untuk sebagian besar sisa album juga.
“I Was Never There” (bersama dengan “Hurt You,” juga dari My Dear Melancholy,) menandai kolaborasi pertama The Weeknd dengan Gesaffelstein.
[Verse]
What makes a grown man wanna cry?
(Cry, cry, cry, cry)
What makes him wanna take his life?
(Yeah)
His happiness is never real
(Real, real, real, real)
And mindless sex is how he feels, ooh, he heals
[Chorus]
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
It won't matter (it don't matter)
It won't matter (matter)
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time (time, it's time, babe)
It won't matter (it won't matter, babe)
It won't matter (ya)
It was like he was never there
(It was like he was never there)
It was like he was gone in thin air, oh
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time, oh, baby
It won't matter (It won't matter, baby)
It won't matter
[Post-Chorus]
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
It won't matter
It won't matter
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
It won't matter
It won't matter
It was like he was never there
It was like he was gone in thin air
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
It won't matter, it won't matter
[Interlude]
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
It won't matter, it won't matter
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
It won't matter, it won't matter
[Bridge]
Ooh, now I know what love is
And I know it ain't you for sure
You'd rather something toxic
So, I poison myself again, again
'Til I feel nothing
In my soul (in my soul)
I'm on the edge of something breaking
I feel my mind is slowly fadin'
If I keep going, I won't make it
If I keep going, I won't make it
[Outro]
And it's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
Woah, woah
Don't you, baby, hey
It won't matter, baby
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Ooh, no
