Blank Spaces
Yearning Echoes: Unspoken Desires in Anthony Lazaro's 'Blank Spaces'
Lyrics
I don't want to hold you
I have no desire to physically embrace you.
I don't want to kiss you
I don't want to engage in kissing with you.
I don't want to have you
I am not interested in possessing you.
I don't' want to miss you
I don't want to experience the absence of you.
I don't want you to flatter yourself
Don't assume self-importance; I'm not interested in you.
Or the be a prize on your shelf
I don't want to be an object or achievement for you.
But I'll wait for hours in the rain
Despite my disinterest, I am willing to endure difficulties for you.
Even if we shouldn't meet again
Even if our paths are not meant to cross again, I'll wait for you.
And I've never told you this
There's something I haven't disclosed to you.
And I'll likely never will
It's unlikely that I will ever reveal this undisclosed information.
But there's a blank space inside of me
There's an emotional void within me.
Only you could fill
Only you have the potential to fill this emotional gap.
(If) you know who you are
If you recognize yourself in these words...
(If) you know who you are
If you are aware of your identity...
(If) you know who you are
If you know who you are...
Please come to me
Please come to me.
I don't want to hold you
Reiteration of the lack of desire to physically hold.
I don't want to squeeze you
Reiteration of the lack of desire to squeeze or tightly hold.
Why do I get jealous, when somebody teases you
Admitting feelings of jealousy when others tease you.
But I know even if this makes me feel blue
Acknowledging the emotional impact, but recognizing the impossibility of being together.
There's no way I can be with you
Despite the emotions, there is no feasible way for us to be a couple.
And I feel beyond a shadow of a doubt
Expressing certainty that being without you is impossible.
There's no way I can be without
Underscoring the inability to live without you.
And I've never told you this
Repetition of having undisclosed feelings.
And I'll likely never will
Reiteration of the unlikelihood of revealing these feelings.
But there's a blank space inside of me
Emphasizing the presence of an emotional void only you can fill.
Only you could fill
If you recognize yourself as the one who can fill this void...
(If) you know who you are
If you are aware of your identity...
(If) you know who you are
If you know who you are...
(If) you know who you are
Please come to me.
Please come to me
A plea for the person to come forward if they recognize themselves.
