Everybody Loves Me But You
Unrequited Echoes: Navigating Love's Absence in Brenda Lee's Melody
Lyrics
Why did I listen to my friends
Regretting following advice from friends
When they told me what to do
Acting upon suggestions given by friends
Yes, I still have my friends
Still maintains friendships
But I don't have you
Lost the romantic relationship
And like true friends
True friends continue to support
They still come around
Friends are present despite the breakup
And say, I'm sorry you're blue
Expressing sympathy for feeling down
Whoa, everybody loves me but you
Feels loved by everyone except the ex-partner
My friends don't know what they've done
Friends' actions unintentionally hurt
Well, they wouldn't understand anyhow
Friends wouldn't comprehend the situation
I can't tell them they were wrong
Afraid to admit friends' mistake fearing abandonment
'Cause I'm afraid they'll leave me, too
Fear of losing more relationships by admitting the friends' fault
Now, it's funny but more than ever
Realizing increased dependence on friends
I need them now
Feeling heightened need for friends' support
I still ask my friends what to do
Still seeks advice from friends
But it seems they don't know how to bring
Friends unable to assist in reconciliation
How to bring you back
Unable to bring the ex-partner back
They say, what made him go
Questioning the cause of the breakup
Yes, like true friends
Supportive friends remain
They still come around
Continued empathy from friends for feeling sad
And say, I'm sorry you're blue
Reiterating that everyone except the ex-partner offers love
Whoa, everybody loves me but you
Emphasizing the ex-partner's absence in offering love
