Somebody's Crying
Unspoken Tears: Somebody's Silent Cry of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
I know somebody and they cry for you
The speaker is aware of someone who sheds tears on behalf of the listener.
They lie awake at night and dream of you
This person stays awake at night, longing for and envisioning a connection with the listener.
I bet you never even know they do but somebody's crying
The listener may not be aware of this individual's feelings, but the speaker is certain that someone is crying for them.
I know somebody and they called your name
Another person has been calling out the listener's name repeatedly, hoping for a response that has not materialized.
A million times and still you never came
Despite the lack of response, this person continues to love the listener persistently.
They go on loving you just the same I know that somebody's trying
The speaker is convinced that someone is making an effort to love the listener, even if it goes unnoticed.
So please return the love you took from me
A plea for the listener to reciprocate the love that has been taken away.
Or please let me know if it can't be me I know when
Alternatively, a request for clarity if reciprocation is not possible.
Somebody's lying, I know when somebody's lying
The speaker claims to have a sense of when someone is being untruthful, especially in matters of the heart.
I know that somebody's lying, I know that somebody's lying
Reiteration of the speaker's ability to detect dishonesty in relationships.
Give me a sign and let me know we're through
A request for a clear indication or signal that the relationship is over.
If you don't love me like I love you
If the listener doesn't reciprocate the speaker's love, the speaker will understand through their shared emotional pain.
But if you cry at night the way I do I'll know that somebody's lying
If the listener cries at night as the speaker does, it confirms someone is being deceptive.
So please, return the love you took from me
A repetition of the plea for the return of love taken away.
Or please, let me know if it can't be me
Alternatively, a plea for honesty if the listener cannot reciprocate.
I know when somebody's lying, I know when somebody's lying
Reiteration of the speaker's confidence in discerning falsehood in relationships.
Oh I
An emotional expression, possibly indicating a realization or acknowledgment of the situation.
Oh I
A repeated emotional expression, emphasizing the intensity of the speaker's feelings.
