Unrequited Echoes: No Reply's Heartfelt Tale
Lyrics
This happened once before
This has happened before
When I came to your door
When I arrived at your door
No reply
No response or acknowledgment
They said it wasn't you
Others claimed it wasn't you
But I saw you peep through
But I witnessed you peeking through
Your window
From your window
I saw the light
I noticed the illumination
I saw the light
I observed the light
I know that you saw me
I'm aware that you saw me
'Cause I looked up to see
Because I raised my eyes to witness
Your face
Your countenance
I tried to telephone
I attempted to call you
They said you were not home
They asserted you weren't present
That's a lie
A falsehood
'Cause I know where you've been
Because I'm aware of your whereabouts
And I saw you walk in
And I saw you entering
Your door
Your doorway
I nearly died
I felt extreme distress
I nearly died
I almost succumbed
'Cause you walked hand in hand
Because you strolled with someone else
With another man
In the position where I should be
In my place
In my stead
If I were you, I'd realize that I
If I were in your position, I'd recognize that
Love you more than any other guy
I love you more than any other man
And I'll forgive the lies that I
And I'll pardon the deceitful statements
Heard before, when you gave me no reply
I heard previously when you offered no response
I tried to telephone
I made another attempt to call you
They said you were not home
They insisted you weren't present
That's a lie
Yet another falsehood
'Cause I know where you've been
Because I'm familiar with your movements
And I saw you walk in
And I observed you entering
Your door
Your doorway
I nearly died
I felt extreme distress
I nearly died
I almost succumbed
'Cause you walked hand in hand
Because you strolled with someone else
With another man
In the position where I should be
In my place
In my stead
No reply
No response
No reply
