Ugly
Yearning for Beautiful Eyes, Chasing an Ugly Heart: Chris Hutton's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
I know you won't call me, but I'll still wait by the phone,
Expressing anticipation and longing for a call despite the expectation of not receiving one.
Holding out, holding out, holding out for your love.
Persisting in the hope and desire for love, symbolized by waiting.
Maybe this is better than accepting I'm alone,
Considering the possibility that waiting for love is preferable to acknowledging loneliness.
Holding out, holding out, holding out for your love.
Continuing to hold out for love despite potential emotional challenges.
I know you don't notice me but I still want you anyway.
Acknowledging the lack of reciprocation but maintaining the desire for the person.
I know you like playing with me, I'll move for you any day.
Willing to adapt and make sacrifices in the pursuit of the person's affection.
I'm running around trying to make you love me,
Actively seeking ways to earn the love of the person.
Beautiful eyes, but your heart so ugly,
Describing the person's physical attractiveness but highlighting their emotional shortcomings.
Stupid enough to think I could fix you, na na na yeah.
Admitting to naively believing that one can fix the emotional issues of the person.
Making me think I'm the one who's crazy,
Feeling manipulated and questioning one's sanity in the relationship.
Keep coming back, can I save you maybe?
Continuously returning to the person, questioning the possibility of saving them.
Why do I love that your heart's so ugly? na na na yeah.
Paradoxically expressing love for the person despite recognizing their emotional flaws.
I know that you're sleeping, but I'm tossing in my bed,
Awareness of the person's sleep, accompanied by personal restlessness.
Waiting up, waiting up, waiting up for your love.
Waiting for love even in the wakeful state, indicating persistent longing.
I can't close my eyes ‘cause then I'll dream of you instead,
Avoiding sleep to prevent dreams that might feature the desired person.
Waiting up, waiting up, waiting up for your love.
Continuing to wait for love despite the emotional toll it takes.
I know you don't notice me but I still want you anyway.
Reiterating the awareness of being unnoticed but expressing desire regardless.
I know you like playing with me, I'm here for you any day.
Reaffirming readiness to play a role for the person's amusement or affection.
I'm running around trying to make you love me,
Actively pursuing the person's love with persistent effort.
Beautiful eyes, but your heart so ugly,
Contrasting physical attractiveness with emotional "ugliness" in the person.
Stupid enough to think I could fix you, na na na yeah.
Reflecting on the misguided belief in the ability to fix the person emotionally.
Making me think I'm the one who's crazy,
Feeling emotionally destabilized and questioning one's sanity in the relationship.
Keep coming back, can I save you maybe?
Repeatedly returning to the person, contemplating the potential to save them.
Why do I love that your heart's so ugly? na na na yeah.
Continuing to love the person despite recognizing the emotional "ugliness."
