🎶 I Was Never There song analysis

The protagonist feels bad about himself and resorts to anesthesia by engaging in meaningless sexual activities. The refrain suggests that when the time comes for him to face his inner pain, what he has done to cope with it will not matter. He reflects on his own concept of love and realizes that his partner's toxic behavior only drives him away. Ultimately, he is at the breaking point, and he knows that if he continues, he will not make it.
