Unspoken Heartache: Chandler Merchant's Melodic Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I've been trading my mornings for the nights
I've been sacrificing my mornings for the nights
With the thought that I just might
Hoping that I might occupy your thoughts
Cross your mind at least three times by noon
Wishing to be on your mind multiple times before noon
And if I couldn't see you I would drive
If I couldn't physically be with you, I'd endure long drives through the night
Through what seemed like endless night
Enduring what feels like an endless night to reach you
So I could tell you that I'd be there soon
To assure you that I'll be there soon
Heart is broken just don't know it yet
Expressing a realization that my heart is broken, though not fully aware
Tried to keep you but you came and went
Attempted to hold onto you, but you left
Here's the letter that I never sent
Referring to an unsent letter
Didn't write it down but it's permanent
Although not written, its impact is enduring
Every night when not a word was said
Recalling nights of silence between us
Did all we could to help each other mend
Struggling together to mend our relationship
If you could see me would you just pretend
Questioning if pretending is the solution if you could see me
And if I could see you would this feeling end
Wondering if seeing you would end the emotional turmoil
Your voice was all I had to lose
Your voice was the only thing I had to lose
It tamed the demons of my mind but give it time yeah
It helped calm the chaos in my mind, but time is needed
After everything that we've been through
Reflecting on the challenges we faced
Never got a chance to shine that's alright yeah
Accepting that we never had the opportunity to fully shine, and that's okay
Neither of us is the same
Acknowledging that neither of us remains the same
And you'd think that by now we'd have navigated through the pain
Despite the pain, expecting that by now we should have navigated through it
But I still wonder
Expressing ongoing wonder and uncertainty
If you could see me would you just pretend
Repeating the question of pretending if you could see me
And if I could see you would this feeling end
Reiterating the uncertainty about the emotional resolution if I could see you
And I need you to see the way I lose my train of thought
Desiring you to see the way I lose my train of thought
And conversation seems to stop when you walk in the room
Highlighting the impact of your presence on conversation and focus
All the while I'm holding my breath waiting for your eyes to find mine
Expressing breath-holding anticipation for our eyes to meet
Just to see what would we do
Curious about the possible outcomes of our interaction
At least I'd know if what you said was true
Desiring clarity on the truthfulness of your words
If you could see me would you just pretend
Repeating the question of pretending if you could see me
And if I could see you would this feeling end
Reiterating the uncertainty about the emotional resolution if I could see you
Heart is broken just don't know it yet
Recalling the broken state of the heart, still not fully recognized
I tried to keep you but you came and went
Attempted to hold onto you, but you left
Here's the letter that I never sent
Referring again to the unsent, yet impactful letter
Didn't write it down but it's permanent
Although not written, its impact is enduring
Every night when not a word was said
Recalling nights of silence between us
Did all we could to help each other mend
Struggling together to mend our relationship
If you could see me would you just pretend
Questioning if pretending is the solution if you could see me
If I could see you would this feeling end
Wondering if seeing you would end the emotional turmoil
