The Weeknd - I Was Never There Lyrics






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 feels

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)
It won't matter (it won't matter)
It won't matter (ya)

It was like I was never there
(It was like I was never there)
It was like it was more than 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

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 I was never there
It was like it was more than thin air
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
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
It won't matter, it won't matter

Ooh, and 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 fading
If I keep going, I won't make it
If I keep going, I won't make it

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

Whoa, whoa
Don't you, baby, hey
It won't matter, baby
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Ooh, no

  67. B.... S....

    Was bringt einen erwachsenen Mann dazu , weinen zu wollen?
    (Weinen, weinen, weinen, weinen)
    Was bringt ihn dazu sich sein Leben nehmen zu wollen?
    Sein Glück ist nie echt
    (Echt, echt, echt, echt)
    Und geistloser Sex ist wie er fühlt , ooh, wie er fühlt

    Wenn es Zeit ist , wenn es Zeit ist , wenn es Zeit ist

    Wird es nicht wichtig sein (ist es nicht wichtig)

    Es wird nicht wichtig sein (wichtig sein)
    Wenn die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist, wenn es Zeit da ist, (es ist Zeit, babe)
    Wird es nicht wichtig sein (wird es nicht wichtig sein, babe)
    Wird es nicht wichtig sein

    Es ist als wäre er nie dagewesen (Als wäre er nie dagewesen)
    Es ist als wäre er zu dünner Luft geworden
    Wenn es Zeit ist , wenn es Zeit ist , wenn es Zeit ist , oh, baby
    Wird es nicht wichtig sein , wird es nicht wichtig sein , baby
    Wird es nicht wichtig sein

    (Wenn es die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist)

    (Wird es nicht wichtig sein , wird es nicht wichtig sein)
    (Wenn es die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist)
    (Wird es nicht wichtig sein , wird es nicht wichtig sein)
    (Es ist als wäre er nie dagewesen)
    (Es ist als wäre er zu dünner Luft geworden)
    (Wenn es die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist)
    (Wird es nicht wichtig sein , wird es nicht wichtig sein)

    (Wenn es die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist)
    (Wird es nicht wichtig sein , wird es nicht wichtig sein)
    (Wenn es die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist, wenn die Zeit da ist)
    (Wird es nicht wichtig sein , wird es nicht wichtig sein)

    Ooh, jetzt weiß ich was Liebe ist
    Und ich weiß jetzt sicher, du bist es nicht
    Du würdest eher etwas giftiges
    So dass ich mich selber vergifte , wieder und wieder
    Bis ich nichts mehr Fühle
    In meiner Seele
    Ich bin am Rande von etwas brechen
    Ich spüre meine Gedanken langsam verschwinden
    Wenn ich so weiter mache , werde ich es nicht schaffen
    Wenn ich so weiter mache , werde ich es nicht schaffen

    Und es ist alles wegen dir
    Es ist alles wegen dir
    Es ist alles wegen dir
    Es ist alles wegen dir
    Woah woah

    Nicht wahr , baby(hey!)
    Es wird nicht wichtig sein, baby
    Weißt du es nicht?
    Weißt du es nicht?
    Ooh , no

    I feel my mind is slowly fadin'
    If I keep going, I won't make it

    ABEL'S second verse is so painfully n awesomely deep with emotions I have unfortunately. I used to be happy n I loved school, singing, dancing, children, animals, etc. I was smart , talented, n exceptionally beautifu to say it without bragging. I can back my shit up andyou don't have to worry about wasting your time cuz I'm not lying to you and I'm not out to get other people so please don't waste mine. just kidding I know you won't but most people do
    l. girl and got my nursing degreeI in 2003. It's your 2020 I just found out. 17 years where the hell have I been,?! It's like I just came out of a, I feel like I've been getting given another chance Purdue I actually want it I feel most of the time. I keep poisoning. No one can help n I can't even help myself. I feel like I'm I'm running out of time. I know if I don't do something quick it will be my last chance and I've been given way too many already. I have depression since my fiance, died in 2003,but that's just the worst of it n the beginning of my shitty new drug life. There is nothing that needs doesn't need to be fixed at the moment a few obstacles of life. That is what i can relate to, so much of this! It's soooo it's crazy!! I would rather disappear. I feel succide is the easy way, pussy way, and it's the only selfish sin that can't be forgiven. It's everything is just gone for me. Not just material things, but sooio many, so many ,young, good puclose people I loved or was loved by🖤. There's no one left, not 1. you know what a shity and helpless feeling? Do u? I do. I thought I was love at least by a few family members at least. I wish I would have been happy with one people have all these huge family they got all these close relatives I would have been happy with one close family member. I wasn't getting greedier nothing and I just don't know why I can't figure it. Maybe it should be you, ABEL TESFE? You would be one lucky man and you won't even know it. I am seriously probably the most interesting person u will ever get to me I'm not famous is because I live here n I have been secluded from cities more than I should have. I can I suffer in the coldI felt deeply saddened☠️ ripped off🌚, pissed, a☠️nger😬, jealousy, n ripped off by God👽what did I do to deserve all that? NEVER DID!NEVER WILL .I turned into a school girl nighttime WHORE!💋💋 made a lot of money!!! Houses, hotels, clothes, traveled, spoiled everyone I could including my mother who hates me but I love her. My smarts n degrees, straight A's, family, kids nursing job, financial stability, fiance, dog, 🖤 Gone? ?😬
