It Hasn't Happened Yet
Unveiling Unhappiness: The Unfulfilled Prophecy in John Hiatt's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
You said that I would be sorry if you went away
You were warned that I would feel regretful if you left.
You said I wouldn't be happy without hell to pay
You were told that I wouldn't find happiness without facing consequences or difficulties.
You said the teardrops would fall
It was mentioned that tears would fall.
Between the bedroom walls
Emotional moments or conflicts occurred within the privacy of the bedroom.
You said that I would regret
It was predicted that I would feel remorse.
Well It Hasn't Happened Yet
Despite predictions, the anticipated negative feelings or events have not occurred yet.
Your friends come over and offer to take me to eat
Your friends sympathize with my suffering and invite me to dine with them.
They all seem so sorry I'm sufferin' so much misery
They express regret over the misery I'm experiencing.
They said to just give a call
Your friends suggest I should reach out for help when I feel overwhelmed.
Next time that I start to crawl
Advising me to seek support when I'm feeling extremely low.
I always say yeah, you bet
My response is usually affirmative, agreeing to their suggestion.
But It Hasn't Happened Yet
However, despite agreeing, the anticipated negative situation hasn't materialized yet.
I don't have anyone
I don't have a romantic partner.
I'm havin' fun
I'm enjoying myself, despite being alone.
No one is into me
No one is showing interest in me romantically.
No one's a mystery
No one seems mysterious or enigmatic to me.
I see you on the street
Seeing you in public doesn't affect me emotionally.
My heart don't skip no beat
My heart doesn't skip a beat upon encountering you.
Lovers' hostility
Conflict or tension between lovers doesn't bother me.
Don't mean a thing to me
Such conflicts hold no significance for me.
I find it hard to remember the good times we had
I struggle to recall the positive moments we once shared.
Call me insensitive now that it's over I'm glad
Now that the relationship is over, I'm perceived as insensitive for feeling relieved.
You said when big shadows fell
You mentioned that when a significant challenge arose, it would be difficult to distinguish my positivity from your influence.
It would be too hard to tell
It was predicted that when faced with major challenges, it would be hard to differentiate my light or positivity from your shadow or negativity.
My light from your silhouette
However, this predicted scenario has not occurred.
Well it hasn't happened yet
The expected separation or distinction between our influences hasn't taken place yet.
