Lalah Hathaway – When Your Life Was Low lyrics

Lalah Hathaway – When Your Life Was Low lyrics

Always remember my friend,
The world will change again.
And you may have to come back
Through everywhere you've been.

When your life was low,
You had nowhere to go.
People turned their backs on you,
And everybody said that you were through.

I took you in, made you strong again
Put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
You left me shining.

Now you're doing well
From stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.

Although I never hear from you,
Still it's nice to know
You used to love me so,
When your life was low.

I took you in. I made you strong again.
I put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
You left me shining

Now you're doing well
From stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.

Although I never hear from you,
Still it's nice to know
You used to love me so,
You used to love me so,
When your life was low.

But always remember my friend,
The world will change again.
And you may have to come back
Through everywhere you've been.
The world will change again.

That's not what this means at all. This is a criticism of a person who, when down on his luck needed his woman who stood up, provided, made him whole, gave him love, strength, and courage to face the worked again. She helped to heal him. Once whole, he left, never to be heard from again and she is warning him of karma. Also, as there was a time when he needed help, he may need it again some day and have to return to the very people he treated so poorly, namely her. Although she appreciates having known love with/by/from him and remembers how great it was; even as she is happy for him and his getting his life back on track, she reconciles her pain with gratitude and warns him of the possibility of everything going to shit again for him. She warns that he may have to face the people he moved away from with need again and it may not be there for him.

This song hits so close to home, as I have been in that position, I have no regrets for being there for my man that's what woman do when they someone, however it did hurt a great deal when he left, I wished him well. Just like the song he tried coming back when his world was turned upside down again. I'm not a cold hearted person, however I just couldn't get over the hurt he left me with, I wished him well again, and have been praying for him. Hope he is doing well!

This song is about users. Those who hit rock bottom and their so called friends talk trash about the and abandon them. And how they cling to the one that they can use yo get back on their feet. To get back to where they used to be. The fair weather friends come back to use them when they’re up again. They ride high forgetting about who was there when they were st the bottom. Then the warning. About karma. Rhis song is real rap.

This is a story of two people who knew each other well during their younger years and then later became lovers and soul mates. However due to uncontrollable situations could never remain together. But maybe only one remained the lover with the possibility of hope to meet the other sometime. And become lovers again.

It's the old cliche, "if u love something, let it go. If it comes back to u. It's yours... If it doesn't, it never was" it's the story of loving someone and helping them get back on their feet again. Letting them go to shine & watching them be who they were meant to be. The person that you knew they could be but perhaps they couldn't be with you. Wishing the best for them, but hoping that maybe, your path would cross again.
