The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Scared to Live" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

Contents

In the song "Scared to Live," The Weeknd addresses a former lover, acknowledging his culpability in the demise of their relationship. The lyrical hero realizes that although he was afraid to let her go, his actions were suffocating her and preventing her from finding happiness. He understands that their relationship has run its course and it's time to move on, though it's painful for both of them.

The Weeknd describes his former girlfriend's emotional state: her fear of the future, her hesitation to open herself up to new relationships because of a painful past. He tries to reassure her that she shouldn't be afraid to live, to love again, and to find her own happiness. He admits that their love was doomed from the start, and perhaps this is for the best.

The song is filled with melancholy and regret. The Weeknd doesn't deny his mistakes and takes responsibility for the broken relationship. At the same time, he hopes that his former lover will find the strength to move on and find true happiness.

When I saw the signs, I shoulda let you go

But I kept you beside me

And if I held you back at least I held you close

Should have known you were lonely

I know things will never be the same

Time we lost will never be replaced

I'm the reason you forgot to love

So don't be scared to live again

Be scared to live again

No, don't be scared to live again

Be scared to live again

You always miss the chance to fall for someone else

'Cause your heart only knows me

They try win your love, there was nothing left

They just made you feel lonely

Well, I am not the man I used to be

Did some things I couldn't let you see

Refused to be the one to taint your heart

So don't be scared to live again

Be scared to live again

No, don't be scared to live again, baby

Be scared to live again

I hope you know that

That I'll be praying that you find yourself

I hope you know that

We fell apart right from the start

I should have made you my only

When it's said and done, woah-oah-oah

So don't be scared to live again, baby

Be scared to live again

No, don't be scared to live again, baby

Be scared to live again

I hope you know that

I'll be praying that you find yourself

I hope you know that

We fell apart right from the start
