Let Me Love You
Yearning Echoes: Julia Gartha's Anthem of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
You got my heart in your hands
You have control over my emotions and feelings.
You got me canceling all of my plans
You're so important that I'm canceling my plans for you.
Clearing my whole schedule for a chance you never plan on giving me
I'm rearranging my entire schedule for a chance, even if it seems unlikely.
Tell me that you love me
Expressing the desire to hear words of love from you.
Don't mind if you're lying
Even if you're not sincere, I can endure it for the hope of a better future.
It'll just buy me some time till I can try again
Lies about love can provide temporary comfort until another attempt can be made.
I guess I'm optimistic
Despite challenges, I maintain a positive outlook.
Little bit persistent
Persisting in the face of difficulties.
Justifying all the distance you've been giving
Finding reasons to justify the emotional distance you've maintained.
Call me a fool
Accepting the label of a fool for loving someone uninterested.
Loving someone not interested me
Expressing the challenge of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate.
I'm hoping that you
Wishing for reciprocated feelings.
I'm hoping you'll consider loving me
Hoping that the person will eventually consider loving back.
Oh let me love you - Hey You
Requesting the opportunity to love the person.
Oh let me love you - Hey you
Repeating the plea to be allowed to love.
I'm holding out for you baby
Waiting for the person despite challenges.
I've made up my mind and it ain't changing
Determined in the decision to love and unwilling to change it.
Go right ahead, call me crazy
Embracing the perception of being called crazy for the enduring commitment.
At least you're still calling me
Despite any criticism, the fact that you're still in contact is appreciated.
Tell me that you love me
Desiring to hear words of love, regardless of sincerity.
Don't care if you're lying
Accepting temporary comfort from false declarations of love.
It'll just buy me some time till I can try again
Willing to endure deception for another chance at love.
I guess I'm just ambitious
Maintaining ambition despite challenges in the relationship.
Challenging resistance
Confronting and challenging resistance in the relationship.
Justifying all the distance you've been giving
Finding reasons to justify the emotional distance being maintained.
Call me a fool
Accepting the label of a fool for pursuing unrequited love.
Loving someone not interested me
Expressing the challenge of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate.
I'm hoping that you
Wishing for reciprocated feelings.
I'm hoping you'll consider loving me
Hoping that the person will eventually consider loving back.
Oh let me love you -Hey You
Requesting the opportunity to love the person.
Oh let me love you -Hey you
Repeating the plea to be allowed to love.
