You Never Really Saw Me
Unseen Emotions Unveiled: David Chutby's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
It's been a long time
Reflecting on a significant passage of time
But it was always nice to see
Expressing positive feelings about seeing someone
How you spend your early years
Observing the carefree nature of the person's early years
So carefree without fears
Noting the absence of fears during that carefree time
Time flies, wrong compass
Time passing quickly, and a metaphorical reference to a wrong direction
You took the wrong turn
Commenting on a wrong turn taken by the person
I was nothing more
Describing the narrator's role as merely a friend
Than just a friend
Expressing a realization of being just a friend
I'll never learn
Conveying a sense of not learning from past experiences
You are the one
Addressing the person as "the one"
And you never really saw me
Pointing out that the person never truly saw the narrator
While I was around
Highlighting the lack of attention while the narrator was present
You didn't even try
Noticing a lack of effort from the person to understand
And I don't know why
Expressing confusion about the reasons for the lack of attention
And now we're older
Acknowledging the passage of time and aging
You're not happy, take my shoulder
Offering support to the person who seems unhappy
I never know what's on your mind
Expressing difficulty in understanding the person's thoughts
It is always hard to find
Highlighting the challenge of deciphering the person's mindset
Don't cry, we can try
Encouraging the person not to cry and suggesting a solution
To make out if you like
Suggesting a possibility of understanding each other
So open up
Encouraging the person to open up emotionally
With a little luck
Expressing hope for a positive outcome
It'll be dreamlike
Anticipating a dreamlike scenario if the person opens up
You are the one
Reiterating the person as "the one"
And you never really saw me
Emphasizing that the person never truly saw the narrator
While I was around
Repeating the lack of attention while the narrator was present
And you didn't even try
Reiterating the lack of effort from the person to understand
I still don't know why
Expressing ongoing confusion about the reasons for the lack of attention
The past has clouded your view
Noting that the person's view is clouded by the past
You are another you
Acknowledging a change in the person's identity or personality
I never know what's on your mind
Reiterating the difficulty in understanding the person's thoughts
It is always hard to find
Reiterating the challenge of deciphering the person's mindset
I can't persuade you
Expressing inability to persuade the person to notice the narrator
To look for me
Deciding to let go of the pursuit of attention
I will let go
Choosing not to reveal what could have been
And I won't show
Deciding not to express the potential of the relationship
What we could have been
Reflecting on what the relationship could have become
You are the one
Repeating the person as "the one"
And you never really saw me
Emphasizing the lack of attention while the narrator was present
While I was around
Reiterating the ongoing lack of effort from the person to understand
And you didn't even try
Expressing continued confusion about the reasons for the lack of attention
Oh I still don't know why
Expressing enduring uncertainty about the lack of attention
