The Way That You Love Me
Unveiling Heartache: The Struggle of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
I'm always hurting, I'm always hurting you
I consistently cause you emotional pain.
You've got a pretty smile, you laugh and care, you smell like morning dew
You possess attractive qualities, radiate joy, and have a refreshing fragrance.
But the way I treat you, makes me ashamed of how I feel
My behavior towards you fills me with shame due to the disparity between my actions and emotions.
I just don't feel the same way for you, the way that you love me
I do not reciprocate the deep love you have for me.
The way that you love me
Reiteration of the lack of reciprocal love.
The way that you love me
-I can't change what wasn't meant to be
I cannot alter what was not destined to happen.
But that's something you can't see
You are unable to perceive this reality.
Not taking the hint but trying every night and day
Despite subtle cues, I persist in pursuing you day and night.
It's so easy to make excuses but what else can I say
Making excuses is effortless, but there's little else to express.
When people interrogate me and make out it's a big deal
When questioned by others, they exaggerate the significance of my lack of reciprocation.
That I don't reciprocate the way that you love me
I do not return the love you give me.
The way that you love me
Repeated emphasis on the absence of mutual love.
The way that you love me
-I can't change what wasn't meant to be
The inevitability of unrequited love.
But that's something you can't see
Your inability to comprehend this reality.
Okay we slept together but I don't want to lead you on
We shared an intimate moment, but I don't wish to mislead you.
It was just one night of passion it was nothing more
It was a fleeting experience with no deeper meaning.
But I know you want me and you to be a two unconditionally
You desire a committed relationship, but I cannot pretend to reciprocate unconditionally.
No but I can't live a lie and say that I love you the way that you love me
I cannot live a falsehood by claiming to love you as deeply as you love me.
The way that you love me
Repetition of the theme of unreturned love.
The way that you love me
-I can't change what wasn't meant to be
The irrevocable nature of the situation.
But that's something you can't see
Your inability to recognize the unavoidable reality.
