Tottenham Court Road
Understanding Unrequited Love on Tottenham Court Road
Lyrics
I was watching you on Tottenham Court Road crying your eyes out
I observed you on Tottenham Court Road, visibly upset and crying.
Sitting in the rain outside of Café Nero with your head in your hands
You were sitting in the rain outside Café Nero, with your head in your hands.
She's not the one for you
The person you are interested in is not the right match for you.
And you're not the one for her
You and the person mentioned are not well-suited for each other.
I know you feel confused
Despite feeling confused, pursuing her is not the solution.
But you can't have her
You cannot be with the person you desire.
I was watching you gathering the seeds and tossing them as far as you can
I witnessed you sowing seeds and throwing them away, symbolizing futile efforts.
Let's get one thing straight this is not a case of rivalry or me vs you
Clarifying that this situation is not a competition or conflict between us.
She's not the one for you
Reiteration that the person is not the right match for you.
And you're not the one for her
Emphasizing again that you and the person are incompatible.
I know you feel confused
Acknowledging the confusion but insisting on letting go.
But you can't have her
You are not allowed to pursue a relationship with her.
No you're not in love, you just drank a bit too much, too much
Asserting that what you feel is not love but a result of excessive drinking.
And though you've got your pride, I'm not always on your side, your side
Despite having pride, support is not guaranteed from my side.
I know I fucked things up, I see in hindsight but there's nothing left that I can do now
Admitting past mistakes but recognizing there's nothing that can be done now.
I'm not your enemy, I'm just a man who can't feel safe within my home no more
Stating that I am not an enemy, just a man unable to feel secure at home.
She's not the one for you
Repeating that the person is not suitable for you.
And you're not the one for her
Reiterating the incompatibility between you and the mentioned person.
I know you feel confused
Acknowledging your confusion but emphasizing the impossibility of being with her.
But you can't have her
You are not permitted to pursue a romantic relationship with her.
No you're not in love, you just drank a bit too much, too much
Clarifying that what you're feeling is not love but a result of excessive drinking.
And though you've got your pride, I'm not always on your side, your side
Despite having pride, my support is not always guaranteed.
Ooh, ooh
Expressing emotions with vocalization (ooh, ooh).
No you're not in love, you just drank a bit too much, too much
Reiterating that what you're feeling is not love but a result of excessive drinking.
And though you've got your pride, I'm not always on your side, your side
Despite having pride, consistent support from my side is not assured.
