She Hasn't Heard It Yet
Unheard Heartbreak: Decoding Jamie O'Neal's Emotional Melody
Lyrics
She looks in his eyes
She observes his eyes
He looks away
He avoids eye contact
She chalks it up as
She considers it as just another typical day
Another one of those days
Reflecting on his recurring behavior
If there's a reason
If there's a reason for his late returns
He's coming home late
She is unaware of the reason
She hasn't heard it yet
She is oblivious to something important
She warms up his dinner
She prepares his dinner
But he can't eat
He is unable to eat
She makes conversation
She tries to engage in conversation
When he don't speak
He remains silent
He shakes his head
He shakes his head in response to the unspoken tension
As the silence screams
The silence is loud with unexpressed emotions
'Cause she hasn't heard it yet
She is unaware of the underlying issues
If only love could cry out loud
If love could express itself audibly
It'd be enough to send
It would have the power to destroy their home
This old house crashing down
Despite this, she chooses to ignore the signs
Still, she's choose to turn her head
She finds it easier to deny than to face the truth
'Cause it's easier to deny
Choosing avoidance over acknowledgment
Than to admit he's
Refusing to accept that he's bidding farewell
Been tellin' her goodbye
She remains unaware of his goodbyes
And she hasn't heard it yet
He leaves his ring
He leaves his wedding ring as a memento
As a souvenir
Considering it a parting token
Says so long to himself
He bids farewell to his own reflection
In the hallway mirror
Symbolizing the end of eighteen years
He's just closed the
He has closed the door on their shared history
Door on eighteen years
She remains unaware of this significant event
And she hasn't heard it yet
If only love could cry out loud
If love could vocalize its pain
It'd be enough to send
It would be destructive enough to collapse their home
This old house crashing down
Yet, she continues to ignore the signs
Still, she's choose to turn her head
Preferring denial over acknowledgment
'Cause it's easier to deny
Choosing to avoid facing the truth
Than to admit he's
Refusing to accept his goodbyes
Been tellin' her goodbye
And she hasn't heard it yet
-It's easier to deny
Opting for denial over acknowledgment
Then to admit he's
Refusing to accept that he's bidding farewell
Been tellin' her goodbye
Remaining unaware of his goodbyes
And she hasn't heard it yet
No, no she hasn't heard it yet
She is still oblivious to his farewells
