Matt Gwilt’s “You’ll Never Know” refuses to treat regret as something that can be settled. Every time the lyrics ask, “Could I have reacted better?” or “Fall in love and stayed forever?”, the answer arrives as “You’ll never know,” leaving the past where it is instead of rewriting it.
The world around those questions keeps moving. Days become ordinary, weeks fly by, and survival becomes another choice made in the middle of it all. “I never said I was ready” sits beside “you’re never satisfied,” while the image of living “in a rickshaw” gives the song a sense of motion without suggesting a destination.
“What you lose you take away” turns loss into something that continues to travel with the speaker instead of remaining behind. The questions return, but the song never chases them toward certainty. It keeps going.
