Unanswered Longings: Mariah Counts' Melody of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Woke up smiling to see your face again
Expressing happiness upon waking up and seeing the loved one's face.
Right where I left you, getting your morning rest
Noting the loved one still resting where they were left, in the morning.
How could this be that, you're everything I need
Reflecting on the significance of the loved one in fulfilling personal needs.
Curled up in your arms, feeling so safe n sound
Feeling secure and comforted in the embrace of the loved one.
I feel so high but, I am so very grounded
Experiencing a heightened emotional state but maintaining a sense of grounding.
But I can't seem to find the floor
Expressing difficulty in finding stability or normalcy.
What would I do and what would I say
Pondering potential reactions and emotions if the loved one were to leave.
If you leave me here one day
Fearing the possibility of being left alone and contemplating the consequences.
I'd toss I'd turn
Describing restless and anxious behavior in the absence of the loved one.
I'll freeze I'll burn over you

How do I tell him, sweet and softly
Contemplating how to gently break the news to someone else.
