Maybe we could make it all right
We could make it better sometime

Maybe we could make it happen, baby
We could keep trying
But things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I'm dying with every step I take
But I don't look back

Just a little, little bit better
Just a little, little bit better
Good enough to waste some time
Tell me would it make you happy, baby

We could keep trying
But things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I'm dying with every step I take
But I don't look back

We could keep trying
But things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I'm dying with every step I take
But I don't look back

And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat

    General Comment:Robyn has said in an interview that the song was written about Kleerup and his relationship that was about to end, but that she later on realized that the song in some ways applied to her as well. Of cours that should not change peoples own interpretation.

    General Comment:This song is amazing. It charges me ... makes me feel like stepping forward with the world trying to bring me to my knees, with the world tugging on my legs. Still I go on. Still I don't look back. I've been there when my heart has hurt so much I couldn't stand it.

    When I was damned when I felt that way, damned if I tried to stop the feeling.

    I'm so proud of myself today. This song makes me feel that way. Proud for overcoming it all.

    General Comment:i keep this on repeat!!


    she is trying to fall out of love with someone.
    he messed up too many times,
    and she is left with no other choice ...

    "we could keep trying, but things will never change"

    your heart will quit hurting eventually, with time and maybe a new somone, but that memory will never go away!

    General Comment:agree about the radio 1 live lounge version. Its the only version I've heard and is simply amazing.

    good old fashioned break up song I suppose.

    General Comment:convincing the heart

    the relationship is in shambles; she's hurting, but she tells herself that she wont look back. she's searching for every reason not to look back. it hurts with every heart beat, but she wont look back- she cant look back.
