مقطع الأول Meaning:
The singer sees his old lover coming back after a long time, reminiscing about their past relationship. The lover wants to revive the old memories, but this brings painful feelings for the singer. He’s flooded with emotions as his past wounds are reopened, and the lover is asking him to open the door to their history, but the singer questions who will take responsibility for all the pain he’s endured over the years.

لازمة Meaning:
The singer expresses confusion and frustration over his ex-lover’s return. The lover seems to hope that the singer will forgive him and let go of the past, but the singer has two things to say: the first is that he has forgiven him, but the second is that he won’t go back to the relationship, as he no longer feels the same.

مقطع الثاني Meaning:
The singer reflects on his ex-lover, who abandoned him and is now searching for what he lost. The singer sarcastically thanks him for coming back, pointing out that the lover still lives in the same place, stuck in the past. He hears the lover’s excuses and lies, but now, those words no longer affect him. He remembers how the lover’s heart was no longer there when he needed it, and he no longer pleads for him like before.

لازمة Meaning:
The singer repeats the same refrain, expressing that his ex-lover’s hope to find comfort and forgiveness in him is misplaced. Despite having forgiven him in the past, the singer firmly believes that he will not go back. His heart is no longer soft or moved by the lover’s sadness. He has accepted the separation and won’t return to the past.
