Lyrics
Tell me why I ain't seeing you today
Talking about the absence of the person today and seeking an explanation.
All you ever do is walk away
Expressing frustration with the person's habit of walking away, possibly from issues or conflicts.
I'm giving you my all my dear
Stating the commitment to the relationship by giving one's all.
But do you even hear, no
Questioning if the person truly listens or understands the effort being put into the relationship.
Just the other day I called your phone
Recalling a recent attempt to contact the person, but they didn't answer the phone.
Went straight to voicemail figured you Weren't home
Suspecting the person wasn't home, as the call went to voicemail.
Even though I'm with you dear
Despite being physically together, feeling emotionally distant and alone.
I feel so alone, oh
Expressing a sense of loneliness even when in the company of the person.
When we first started
Reflecting on the initial stages of the relationship.
Sinatra always played
Referencing the music of Sinatra as part of the early romantic experiences.
But now I'm starting
Realizing that the significance of Sinatra in the relationship was temporary.
To see Sinatra was just a phase
Conveying that the initial romantic phase with Sinatra was just a passing trend.
I thought that it was real love, real love
Expressing a belief in real love, despite later revelations.
You really thought you had me there
Indicating that the person thought they could deceive or manipulate the singer.
I thought that it was real love, real love
Reiterating the belief in real love despite the disappointment.
Funny I ever cared
Acknowledging the irony of caring deeply when the love wasn't genuine.
Found your t-shirt by the window sill
Finding a tangible reminder of the person (t-shirt) but not finding comfort in it anymore.
Your scent's so strong I can smell you still
Noting the lingering scent of the person despite the changed feelings.
But I don't like it anymore
Expressing discomfort with the lingering scent that once brought comfort.
It's too damn strong, oh
Describing the overpowering nature of the scent now.
When we first started
Revisiting the earlier stage of the relationship with the mention of Sinatra's music.
Sinatra always played
Highlighting the realization that Sinatra's music was not a lasting element in the relationship.
But now I'm starting
Acknowledging the temporary nature of the romantic association with Sinatra.
to see Sinatra was just a phase
Repeating the theme of disillusionment with the initial romantic phase.
I thought that it was real love, real love
Maintaining the belief in real love despite past disappointments.
You really thought you had me there
Pointing out that the person believed they could manipulate the singer.
I thought that it was real love, real love
Reiterating the belief in real love despite the deceptive actions of the person.
Funny I ever cared
Reflecting on the irony of caring deeply in a situation where love was not reciprocated.
Look now you're trying
Observing the person's attempt to reconcile after the singer turned away.
Because I turned away
Asserting that the person's attempts are not the singer's problem anymore.
But you're not my problem
Emphasizing the singer's independence from the issues the person liked to create.
Though you liked it that way
Refusing to be kept in a state of confusion or uncertainty by the person.
Kept me in a haze
Recalling the previous belief in real love despite the confusion caused by the person.
I thought that it was real love, real love
Reiterating the past belief in genuine love despite subsequent disappointments.
You really thought you had me there
Pointing out the person's unsuccessful attempt to manipulate the singer.
I thought that it was real love, real love
Affirming the earlier belief in real love despite the person's deceptive actions.
Funny I ever cared
Reflecting on the irony of caring deeply in a situation where love was not reciprocated.
I guess it wasn't real love, real love
Conclusively stating that what was thought to be real love was not genuine.
You really thought you had me there
Highlighting the person's misconception that they had control over the singer's feelings.
How'd I think that this was real love, real love
Expressing astonishment at how the singer believed in the illusion of real love.
Funny I ever cared
Acknowledging the irony of caring deeply in a situation where love was not reciprocated.
