Never Really Loved Me Lyrics – Kygo ft. Dean Lewis
Never Really Loved Me Lyrics
[Verse 1: Dean Lewis]
You say you only ever wanted love
As my hand falls from your face
Your tears are showing me you're giving up
And you start to walk away
[Pre-Chorus: Dean Lewis]
I said, "Hold on, darling, " it's harder to breathe
As I reach for your hand while you're turning to leave
Now I know that it's over between you and me
I hope that you find all that you want
[Chorus: Dean Lewis]
I wasted moments that I can't get back
For something special that I thought we had
It took too long, but now I know
I guess you never really loved me at all
[Build: Dean Lewis]
I guess you never really loved me at all
(I guess you never really loved me at all)
I guess you never really loved me at all
[Drop: Dean Lewis]
(I guess you never really loved me at all)
I guess you never really loved me at, at, at, at all
[Verse 2: Dean Lewis]
There's so much good that lies in front of me
Sometimes, the start is the end
Just like the summer steals the memories
Oh, it's warming me up again
[Pre-Chorus: Dean Lewis]
I said, "Hold on, darling, " it's harder to breathe
As I reach for your hand while you're turning to leave
Now I know that it's over between you and me
I hope that you find all that you want
[Chorus: Dean Lewis]
I wasted moments that I can't get back
For something special that I thought we had
It took too long, but now I know
I guess you never really loved me at all
I shoulda listened when my mother said
All that my heart would do is wreck my head
It took too long, but now I know
I guess you never really loved me at all
[Outro: Dean Lewis]
(I guess you never really loved me at all)
I guess you never really loved me at all
(I guess you never really loved me at all)
I guess you never really loved me at, at, at, at all
