Nampak gayanya album terbaru The Weeknd adalah tentang bekas kekasihnya, Bella Hadid. Lagu terbarunya, “After Hours” seperti menceritakan tentang kekesalan yang dialami olehnya setelah berpisah dengan Bella dan lagu ini sangat menunjukkan kesedihannya.
Verse 1
Thought I almost died in my dream again (baby, almost died)
Fightin’ for my life, I couldn’t breathe again
I’m fallin’ into new (oh, oh)
Without you goin’ smooth (fallin’ in)
’Cause my heart belongs to you
I’ll risk it all for you
I won’t just leave
This time, I’ll never leave
I wanna share babies
Protection, we won’t need
Jika anda tak tahu, sebelum ini Abel hampir mengajak Bella untuk berkahwin. “Mereka sangat mencintai satu sama lain. Abel akan melamar tak lama lagi,” satu sumber memberitahu Us Weekly pada tahun 2018.
Lirik ini mencerminkan komitmen dan kesetian Abel kepada Bella.
Your body next to me
Is just a memory
I’m fallin’ in too deep, oh
Without you, I’m asleep
It’s on me, only me, oh
Talk to me, without you, I can’t breathe
Pada bulan Ogos 2019, Bella dan Abel menamatkan perhubungan mereka. “Mereka berada di tempat yang berbeza sekarang, mental dan fizikal,” satu sumber memberitahu E!.
Verse 2
My darkest hours
Girl, I felt so alone inside of this crowded room
Different girls on the floor, distractin’ my thoughts of you
I turned into the man I used to be, to be
Put myself to sleep
Just so I can get closer to you inside my dreams
Didn’t wanna wake up ’less you were beside me
I just wanted to call you and say, and say
Chorus
Oh, baby
Where are you now when I need you most?
I’d give it all just to hold you close
Sorry that I broke your heart, your heart
Hmm lirik ini berbunyi seperti Abel ingin kembali semula bersama Bella, kan?
Verse 3
Never comin’ through
I was running away from facin’ reality
Wastin’ all of my time on living my fantasies
Spendin’ money to compensate, compensate
’Cause I want you, baby
I’ll be livin’ in heaven when I’m inside of you
It was definitely a blessing, wakin’ beside you
I’ll never let you down again, again
Chorus
Oh, baby
Where are you now when I need you most?
I’d give it all just to hold you close
Sorry that I broke your heart, your heart
I said, baby
I’ll treat you better than I did before
I’ll hold you down and not let you go
This time, I won’t break your heart, your heart, yeah
Bridge
I know it’s all my fault
Made you put down your guard
I know I made you fall
I said you were wrong for me
I lied to you, I lied to you, I lied to you (to you)
Can’t hide the truth, I stayed with her in spite of you
You did some things that you regret, still right for you
’Cause this house is not a home
Adakah Abel bercerita tentang Selena disini? Selena dan Abel bercinta dari Januari hingga Oktober 2017 dan bersama hanya dua bulan setelah dia dan Bella berpisah.
Chorus
Without my baby
Where are you now when I need you most?
I gave it all just to hold you close
Sorry that I broke your heart, your heart
And I said, baby
I’ll treat you better than I did before
I’ll hold you down and not let you go
This time, I won’t break your heart, your heart, no
Walaupun Abel dan Bella masih kekal berpisah hingga kini, ada ura-ura mengatakan mereka seperti kembali bersama pada bulan Oktober 2019. Pada hari jadi Bella yang ke 23 tahun, Abel “meluangkan masa bersama Bella dan mereka bermalam bersama,” satu sumber memberitahu E!.
Walaubagaimanapun, pihak Abel memberitahu People bahawa dia menghadiri parti tersebut hanya sebagai kawan. Tapi jangan buat andaian lagi. Mungkin Bella akan jatuh cinta apabila mendengar lagu ini?
