You'll Never Know

Ariana Grande
You'll Never Know

이 노래 이야기

화자는 과거에 솔직하게 마음을 표현하지 않았던 상대에게 이제 와서 후회해도 늦었다고 말한다. "Now you finally tell me how you feel / Guess your words just came a little too late"라는 구절로 곡이 시작된다.

"You will never know what we could have been, if you woulda shown me way back then"이라는 후렴은 타이밍을 놓친 상대에게 돌아오지 않을 기회를 상기시킨다. "Boy, you could have, boy, you should have / But you didn't know, so now you'll never know"라는 구절은 이제는 다른 사람과 함께하는 화자의 당당하고 단호한 태도를 보여준다.

Now you finally tell me how you feelGuess your words just came a little too lateAll that drama, boy, it's overkillDon't be mad at me, 'cause ya been replacedKnow your place

But if you woulda manned upPut your hand up, stand upTell me how you really feltThen maybe it'd be differentIf you spoke up, I woulda listenedBut now I'm with somebody else

And he loves me, too much for me to mess this upBet it sucks to be all in your headWondering where this thing could go, but

You will never know (uh-uh)What we could have beenIf you woulda shown (uh-uh)Me way back then

Boy, you could have (yup, yup)Boy, you should have (yup, yup)But you didn't know, soNow you'll never knowYou'll never know

Now it's probably hard for you to hearBut there's nothing left for you to sayHad my heart all in your handsBut what you don't understandIs a girl like me don't have no time to waste around

But if you woulda manned upPut your hand up, stand upTell me how you really feltThen maybe it'd be differentIf you spoke up, I woulda listenedBut now I'm with somebody else

And he loves me, too much for me to mess this upBet it sucks to be all in your headWondering where this thing could go, but

You will never know (uh-uh)What we could have beenIf you woulda shown (uh-uh)Me way back then

Boy, you could have (yup, yup)Boy, you should have (yup, yup)But you didn't know, soNow you'll never knowYou'll never know

You'll never knowBoy, you shoulda told me, told meYou'll never knowBoy, you shoulda let me knowYou'll never knowBoy, you coulda been there for meBut now you'll never knowYou'll never know

It's not my faultYou're a little bit too lateYou're the only one to blameWipe that look off your faceYou can wish a thousand times, butNone of that will change my mind, boyYou had a chance you'll never get back, get back, (uh-uh)

You will never know (uh-uh)What we could have beenIf you woulda shown (uh-uh)Me way back then

Boy, you could have (yup, yup)Boy, you should have (yup, yup)But you didn't know, soNow you'll never know, my baby

You'll never knowBoy, you coulda told me, told meYou'll never knowBoy, you coulda let me knowYou'll never knowBoy, you coulda been there for meBut now you'll never knowYou'll never know

You'll never knowYou will never know, you will never know, my babyYou'll never know, noYou'll never knowYou'll never know what (oh)
