When They Ask About You
Unveiling Heartache: When They Inquire About You
Lyrics
When I go for a walk
Expressing the start of a walk, a reflective activity.
I meet old friends we knew
Encountering people from the past during the walk.
We sit around and talk
Sitting and engaging in conversation with old friends.
(Yes, we sit and talk)
Emphasizing the act of sitting and talking.
Oh, then they ask about you
Others inquire about the absent person.
(Then they ask about you)
Reiteration of people asking about the missing individual.
What's the good if I say
Questioning the value of stating the breakup.
That you and I are through
Acknowledging the end of the relationship.
I simply tell them you're okay
Assuring others that the absent person is doing well.
(Tell them you're okay)
Reassuring and emphasizing the well-being of the missing individual.
Oh, when, when they ask about you
Addressing the recurring questions about the absent person.
(When they ask about you)
Reiteration of the persistent inquiries regarding the missing individual.
They wonder where we've been
People express curiosity about the couple's whereabouts.
And why we fail to call
Noting the absence of communication and inquiries about it.
(And you don't ever call)
Highlighting the lack of initiative in reaching out.
And I take it on the chin
Taking emotional hits and enduring the consequences.
Until the teardrops fall
Enduring emotional pain until tears are shed.
(When the teardops fall)
Associating teardrops with emotional distress.
They they they don't mean to be smart
Clarifying that others don't intend to be clever.
Mmm, but if they if they only knew
If others knew the impact, they'd understand.
That they're stepping on my heart
Expressing that inquiries hurt emotionally.
(Stepping on my heart)
Emphasizing the emotional toll of others' questions.
When they ask, when they ask about you
Repeating the theme of inquiries about the absent person.
(When they ask about you)
Reiteration of the ongoing questions about the missing individual.
They're stepping and walking on my heart
Metaphorically, others are causing harm by probing into the situation.
Oh, when they ask, when they ask about you
Repeating the impact of others' questions on the emotional state.
Yeah yeah yeah (When they ask about you)
Further emphasis on the persistent nature of inquiries.
