You Don't Say
Unveiling the Depths: Noah Benjamin's Tale of Love, Sacrifice, and Betrayal
Lyrics
Didn’t I, put the shovel to the cold hard ground
Expressing effort in dealing with difficult situations or burying unwanted things.
Bury all the things that you didn’t want found
Attempting to hide or bury things that were unwanted or hidden.
I scratched our names upon that coffin lid
Symbolically marking the end of a relationship or burying it.
Laid it in the earth to keep your secrets hid
Putting the relationship to rest and keeping its secrets hidden.
I walked for miles in these worn out shoes
Symbolizes the effort and distance traveled for the relationship.
To bring you my best whiskey when you were feeling blue
Offering comfort or solace during difficult times.
Didn’t I, hold you close when your night was on fire
Providing support during a challenging or distressing period.
And your world did explode
Describing a moment of crisis or intense emotional turmoil.
So how can you say that you don’t know me anymore
Expressing confusion about the other person's denial of familiarity.
How can you say that you don’t care
Expressing disbelief at the other person's apparent lack of concern.
Now you may say that you don’t need me anymore
Challenging the assertion that the speaker is no longer needed.
But how can you say I was never there
Questioning the claim that the speaker was absent in the past.
Wasn’t I your confessional
Portraying oneself as a source of comfort or someone to confess to.
When your mind felt like sinning
Supporting the other person during moments of internal conflict or guilt.
Didn’t I hold your head in my lap
Offering physical comfort during moments of distress or struggle with addiction.
When your alcohol was winning
Supporting the other person during struggles with addiction or alcoholism.
Didn’t I, bring you water when your well run dry
Providing aid during times of need or difficulty.
Kiss you softly as I lay beside you
Describing moments of intimacy or closeness.
Keep you warm when your fire died
Symbolizing providing comfort after something essential has faded or died.
Give you shelter and someplace you could hide
Offering protection and a safe haven.
Stand outside of your window pane
Symbolic of longing or waiting for the other person.
For hours at a time in the blinding rain
Describing intense efforts made, despite adverse conditions, to be with the other person.
Well, I know your looking for somebody to blame
Recognizing the other person's search for someone to hold responsible.
But I gave you my heart when I gave you my name
Emphasizing the depth of commitment and emotional investment in the relationship.
So how can you say that you don’t know me anymore
Reiterating confusion at the other person's denial of familiarity.
How can you say that you don’t care
Expressing disbelief at the other person's apparent lack of concern (repetition).
Now you may say that you don’t want me anymore
Challenging the assertion that the speaker is no longer wanted (repetition).
But how the hell can you say I was never there
Questioning the claim that the speaker was absent in the past (repetition).
How can you say I was never there
Reiterating the disbelief at the claim of absence in the past (repetition).
