You Never Did Love Me
Unrequited Misery: The Pain of Unreciprocated Love
Lyrics
I've been brokenhearted
I've experienced heartbreak
You've been brokenhearted too
You've also experienced heartbreak
But there is a difference
There's a distinction between our experiences
Between me & you
Highlighting the contrast between us
Oh it's the way I've been feeling
Expressing ongoing sadness
Sad all the time
You, however, seem emotionally stable
And the way you've been dealing
Your coping mechanisms contrast with my constant sadness
You seem to be fine
You appear fine despite my struggles
Somethings not right here
Sensing something is wrong in our relationship
And I think you can plainly see
I believe you can see the issues too
You never did love me
You never truly loved me
And I think you made that abundantly clear
You've made that clear
By the way that you're healing
Your healing process and my current emotional state emphasize this
And the way that I'm feeling tonight
I'm in misery while you're seemingly unaffected
I'm in misery and for you everything is alright
Highlighting the stark contrast in our emotional well-being
You don't approve of my rambling
You disapprove of my wandering lifestyle
I can't say that I blame you
I understand your disapproval
But that was no reason to say we were through
Ending our relationship wasn't justified
Could've gave me another chance to get right
Desiring another chance to make things right
Could've stayed with your mother at least a few nights
Suggesting staying with your mother temporarily could have been an option
But I think your intentions were unkind straight from the start
Believing your intentions were unkind from the beginning
You never did love me
You never truly loved me
And I think you made that abundantly clear
Reiterating that you've made this abundantly clear
By the way that you're healing
Emphasizing your healing process and my persistent emotional struggle
And the way that I've been feeling tonight
Expressing my misery while you remain unaffected
Well I'm in misery and for you everything is alright
In a dimly lit barroom on the north side of town
Setting the scene in a dimly lit barroom
Sometime after midnight and I'm on my tenth round
Describing a late-night drinking situation
Lord and I see you coming through the front door
Spotting you entering the bar
And I head for the exit but I fall on the floor
Attempting to leave but stumbling
And when we lock eyes I feel like I should tell you again
Feeling compelled to express my feelings once more
You never did love me
Reiterating that you never truly loved me
And I think you made that abundantly clear
Stressing that you've made this very clear
By the way that you're healing
Pointing out your healing and my continued emotional distress
And the way that I've been feeling tonight
Expressing my misery while you're seemingly unaffected
I'm in misery and for you everything is alright
