Broken Dreams
Unanswered Echoes: Amber Malone's Tale of Broken Dreams
Lyrics
This is the fifth time
This marks the fifth attempt to contact you.
I've tried to call you
Expressing the persistent effort to reach out to the person.
You're kind of taking the piss now
Feeling frustrated or taken advantage of.
I don't wanna argue but
Expressing a desire to avoid arguments.
Nah just answer your phone innit
Requesting a response to the phone call.
You hear me talking but don't answer
Noticing that the person hears but doesn't respond to communication.
You hear me crying but have nothing to say
Feeling emotional and unheard.
You see me bleeding but run away
Feeling abandoned or rejected in times of need.
You're not your disguise they've all fallen for it
Highlighting a perceived facade or deception.
But you know you can't fool me
Asserting an awareness of the deception.
You can't fool me
Reiterating the inability to be fooled.
Why don't you try a little harder
Suggesting a need for more effort in the relationship.
Try a little harder
Encouraging the person to try harder.
Just try a little harder
Repeating the call for increased effort.
Full of broken dreams
Describing a state of unfulfilled aspirations and hopes.
Just try a little harder
Reiterating the plea for greater effort.
You say you care but you're never there
Expressing a sense of absence or lack of support.
Why don't you come spend the night
Inviting the person to spend time together to resolve issues.
We can make it all alright baby
Suggesting the possibility of improving the situation together.
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight
Emphasizing a desire to avoid conflict.
I don't wanna fight with you
Repeating the aversion to conflict.
Why don't you try a little harder
Encouraging increased effort in the relationship.
Why don't try a little harder
Repeating the call for more effort.
Why don't you try
Continuing the plea for increased effort.
Just try a little harder
Reiterating the request for more effort.
Full of broken dreams
Reinforcing the theme of unfulfilled dreams and aspirations.
(I told you I'm not playing games
Quoting a previous conversation about not playing games.
You said that you would go and change)
Referencing a promise to change and the resulting pain.
Just try a little harder
Encouraging more effort despite the pain.
(Now I am living with the pain)
Reflecting on the current state of living with emotional pain.
Just try a little harder
Reiterating the call for increased effort.
Full of broken dreams
Reaffirming the presence of unfulfilled dreams and aspirations.
Just try a little harder
Continuing the plea for more effort.
I'm thinking about you today man
Expressing thoughts about the person and hoping for their well-being.
I hope you're good
Sending genuine wishes for the person's goodness.
Because real talk I feel like
Observing a perceived imbalance in giving and receiving in the relationship.
You give more than you can receive
Sharing a common trait of giving more than receiving.
And that's coming from someone
Recognizing the challenge of balancing giving and receiving.
Who does that as well
Offering empathy by acknowledging a similar experience.
But um
Transitioning to a more personal reflection or commentary.
My thoughts are with you today fam
Expressing thoughts and well wishes for the person.
I don't know why
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons but still hoping for the person's well-being.
I just hope you're good
Reiterating the hope for the person's well-being.
Just call me when you can innit
Encouraging the person to call when they can.
