You Never Knew Me
Unveiling the Unseen: Yearning for Understanding
Lyrics
Would you be the man I could dream up in my head?
Questioning if the person could match the idealized version in her mind
My, my, my head
Reiteration of the focus on her thoughts
My, my, my head
Continued emphasis on her thoughts and desires
My headstrong, needy, jealous but sweet and in my head
Describing traits: headstrong, needy, jealous, sweet, reflecting her ideal
My, my, my head
Reiteration of focus on her thoughts
My, my, my head
Continued emphasis on her thoughts and desires
Would you have me weeping?
Questioning if the person would make her cry
Would you yell, give me hell, never let me get a peep in?
Asking if the person would be verbally abusive and not let her speak
Always the winner, put me through the wringer too?
Wondering if the person would always win and cause her distress
Or would you order champagne?
Questioning if the person would treat her extravagantly with champagne
Wine and dine me, never fine me, weekend trips in private airplanes?
Asking if the person would lavish her with luxuries like fine dining and private trips
A million roses under my nose with dew?
Imagining a scenario with extravagant displays of affection
Or would you be the man I could dream up in my head?
Reiteration of the idealized man in her mind
My, my, my head
Reiteration of the focus on her thoughts
My, my, my head
Continued emphasis on her thoughts and desires
My headstrong, needy, jealous but sweet and in my head
Describing traits: headstrong, needy, jealous, sweet, reflecting her ideal
My, my, my head
Reiteration of focus on her thoughts
My, my, my head
Continued emphasis on her thoughts and desires
(My, my head)
Reiteration of the focus on her thoughts
Why have this hope?
Questioning the reason for holding onto hope despite uncertainty
I don't care, I don't know
Expressing indifference and lack of knowledge
Only roses are blue if the water was too, yeah
Metaphorically referencing the sadness of roses turning blue due to tainted water
And had you revoked all the mirrors and smoke
Imagining a scenario where illusions and reflections are removed
But you never knew me
Expressing disappointment that the person never truly understood her
Never knew me and you don't
Reiterating that the person never comprehended who she was
You can't unlove the unknown
Asserting that it's impossible to stop loving what's unknown
I'm unknown
Emphasizing her unknown nature to the person
So it's not my problem
Declaring that the lack of understanding isn't her issue
It never was
Stating that it was never her responsibility for the lack of understanding
I don't need to change me
Asserting she doesn't need to change herself
I never did
Reiterating she never needed to change who she is
Shame you never knew me
Expressing regret that the person never truly knew her
Shame you never knew me
Reiterating regret that the person never truly understood her
