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.

Lirik:

[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
