Half as Much
Unrequited Echoes: Love's Uneven Symphony
Lyrics
If you love me half as much as I love you
If your love for me is only half of my love for you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
Expressing concern that the partner's worries are more intense than necessary
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
Being treated well only when no one else is present
You only build me up to let me down
Feeling that the partner elevates and then disappoints
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
If your longing for me is only half of my longing for you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
Expressing a desire for the partner to be present more often
I know that I would never be this blue
Acknowledging the emotional pain and sadness experienced
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
If your love for me matched only half of my love for you
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
Reiteration of the longing and the impact of the partner's absence
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
Expressing a wish for the partner to be more present in the relationship
I know that I would never be this blue
Reiterating the depth of sadness experienced due to the partner's actions
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
If your love for me were only half of my love for you
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
Reiterating the desire for the partner's love to match the intensity of the speaker's love
