The meaning of the lyrics of the song "A Lonely Night" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

In "A Lonely Night," The Weeknd addresses a woman with whom he had a complicated relationship. He confesses that they were bound solely by physical intimacy, as evidenced by the lines: "Why you gotta go and make up all these things you didn't need to say? There ain't nothing in between."

The Weeknd understands that they are better apart, as they are not suited for each other. He repeats the phrase "we're better off alone" several times, emphasizing the inevitability of their separation.

The chorus, "On a lonely night, I loved you on a lonely night and that's all," reveals the essence of their relationship: only in moments of intimacy did he feel anything for her. He acknowledges that she may have mistaken their connection for something more and apologizes if he created a false impression.

The Weeknd harbors no illusions about the future and makes no attempt to win her back. On the contrary, he states, "How can I make you change your mind?", acknowledging her right to choose.

At the end of the song, he emphasizes the fleeting nature of his feelings once more: "Baby, I loved you... on a lonely night and that's all." The final "Girl" sounds like a farewell devoid of deep emotional attachment.
