Did You Ever Love Somebody
Unrequited Longing: Love's Silent Pain
Lyrics
Did you ever love somebody so much that the earth moved?
Experiencing a love so intense that it feels like the world is shaking.
Did you ever love somebody even though it hurts you?
Loving someone despite the pain it causes.
Did you ever love somebody nothing else your heart could do?
Having a love so profound that there's no other choice for the heart.
Did you ever love somebody who never knew?
Loving someone who remains unaware of that love.
Haaaa aaaaa.
Expressive sound, possibly representing a sigh or emotional release.
Did you ever lay your head down on the shoulder of a good friend?
Resting your head on a trustworthy friend's shoulder.
And then have to look away somehow? Had to hide the way you felt for them?
Having to avert your gaze and conceal your true feelings for that friend.
Have you ever prayed the day would come you'd hear them say they feel it to?
Wishing for the day when the friend reciprocates the feelings.
Did you ever love somebody who never knew?
Loving someone who remains oblivious to your love.
Ahhh haa.
Another expressive sound, possibly indicating a moment of reflection or realization.
I did. You did. Well, you know I'd understand.
Acknowledging shared experiences of unrequited love.
I could. I would. More than anybody can.
Expressing a willingness to love more intensely than anyone else.
Did you ever love somebody so much that the earth moved?
Repeating the earlier question about a love so powerful it moves the earth.
Did you ever love somebody even though it hurts you?
Reiterating the idea of loving despite the accompanying pain.
Did you ever love somebody-nothing else your heart could do?
Emphasizing a love that is the only option for the heart.
Did you ever love somebody like I love you? Like I love you?
Possibly expressing a deep, specific love for someone.
Like I love you?
Repeating the declaration of profound love.
