Secretly Admire
Unspoken Longing: Madison Taylor's Secretly Admire Revealed
Lyrics
I wrote a letter and sent it out to the wind
I expressed my feelings by writing a letter and releasing it into the wind.
Hoping that it'd find you
I hoped the letter would reach you.
Somehow, I knew it reached your hands
I had a sense that the letter physically reached you, but emotionally it did not touch your heart.
But it never found your heart
Despite reaching you, the letter failed to connect with your emotions.
Oh, taker of my soul
Addressing the person as the one who takes control of my soul.
You will never know, you will never know
Expressing that the person will never understand the depth of feelings.
Oh, stealer of my soul
Referring to the person as the one who steals the speaker's soul.
You will never know that I secretly admire you
The person is unaware that the speaker secretly admires them.
I called your name out in a crowd
I called out your name in a crowd, but it went unnoticed.
But the sound lost hope and faded out
The sound of my voice lost hope and faded away.
I grew long tired of the night
Expressing weariness of the night as thoughts are consumed by the person.
Cause you were all I could think about
The person occupies the speaker's thoughts intensely.
Oh, taker of my soul
Reiterating the person's role as a soul-taker.
You will never know, you will never know
The depth of the speaker's feelings remains unknown to the person.
Oh, stealer of my soul
Repeating the acknowledgment of the person as a soul-stealer.
You will never know that I secretly admire you
Reiterating that the person is unaware of the speaker's admiration.
You will never know that I secretly admire you
Emphasizing the hidden admiration for the person.
And when I smile at you, I am filled with fear
Smiling at the person fills the speaker with fear.
That you might somehow never reappear
Fear of the person not reappearing despite smiling.
And when I smile at you, I shed many tears
Smiling brings tears, realizing the years spent in vain.
Cause I know that I've wasted all these years
Acknowledging wasted years and regret in smiling at the person.
And when I smile at you, I am filled with fear
Smiling triggers fear of the person not returning.
That you might somehow never reappear
Expressing tears shed at the thought of the person not reappearing.
And when I smile at you, I shed many tears
Continuing to highlight the emotional pain of wasted years.
Cause I know that I've wasted all these years
Realizing the emotional cost of investing time in the person.
Pining over you
Expressing the act of yearning for the person.
You will never know, you will never know
Repeating the idea that the person will never understand the speaker's feelings.
You will never know that I secretly admire you
Reiterating the secrecy of admiration towards the person.
I wrote a letter and sent it out to the wind
Repeating the initial act of expressing feelings through a letter to the wind.
Hoping that it'd find you
