He's Still There
Unspoken Love and Regret: Houston Kelly's 'He's Still There' Meaning
Lyrics
Girl I've got a feeling that's been sitting on my chest
Expressing a feeling of unease or burden.
Something I think I should really address
Recognizing the need to confront or deal with something.
I'd like to keep thinking that something'll work out
Hopeful that things will improve despite doubts.
But man I should really know better by now
Admitting a lack of learning from past experiences.
I should have told her that I loved her and told her that I cared
Regret for not expressing love and care to someone.
And let her know no matter what I'd always be there
Desire to assure constant support and presence.
I should have let her know about the way that she makes me feel
Wishing to communicate the emotional impact of someone's actions.
But I can't
Feeling unable to express emotions due to another person's presence.
Cause he's still there
Feeling restrained or hindered from expressing feelings because of someone else.
He's a real good fella, hardworking and kind
Describing a rival as a good person, indicating respect.
You can tell that he loves you by the look in his eyes
Recognizing the sincerity of the rival's feelings through their actions.
I know you love him and want him to stay
Acknowledging the desire for the loved one to stay with the rival.
But I know another guy who'll love you the same
Belief that another person can love equally as well as the rival.
I wanna tell ya that I love ya and tell ya that I care
Expressing the desire to communicate love and care.
And let ya know no matter what I'd always be there
Wishing to ensure unwavering support and availability.
I really wish that I could tell ya 'bout the way you make me feel
Yearning to express the emotional impact caused by the loved one.
But I can't
Feeling restricted from expressing emotions due to the rival's presence.
Cause he's still there
Feeling constrained from expressing feelings because of someone else.
I had a chance, to call her my own
Reflecting on a missed opportunity to be in a relationship.
But now she's with him and I'm all alone
Regret over losing the chance and being alone now.
I know you're still together, I don't want that to change
Accepting the current relationship status but wanting to change it.
If I could turn back time girl all I'd say
Expressing a desire to go back in time to express feelings.
I shouldda told ya that I loved ya, and told ya that I cared
Regret for not conveying love and care in the past.
And let ya know no matter what I'd always be there
Desire to ensure consistent support and presence.
I really wish that I'dda told you 'bout the way you make me feel
Wishing to communicate the emotional impact of the loved one's actions.
But I can't
Feeling hindered from expressing emotions due to another person's presence.
Cause He's still there
Feeling restricted from expressing feelings because of someone else.
But I can't
Feeling unable to express emotions due to another person's presence.
Cause He's still there
Feeling restrained or hindered from expressing feelings because of someone else.
