I'm Not Saying
Unspoken Love: Purple Pilgrims' Melodic Confession
Lyrics
I'm not saying that I love you
Expressing hesitation or reluctance to admit love.
I'm not saying that I care if you love me
Indicating that reciprocation of love is not a primary concern.
I'm not saying that I care
Stating a general lack of emotional commitment.
I'm not saying I'll be there when you want me
Not promising immediate availability in times of need.
I can't give my heart to you
Unable to fully commit emotionally.
Or tell you that I sing your name up to the sky
Expressing inability to make grand declarations of love.
I can't lay a promise down
Unable to make unconditional promises for the future.
That I'll always be around when you need me
No assurance of constant availability in times of need.
I may not be alone each time you see me
Acknowledging the possibility of not being alone.
Along the street or in a small café
Describing casual encounters in everyday settings.
But still I won't deny or mistreat you
Committing not to deny or mistreat despite circumstances.
Baby if you let me have my way
Requesting understanding if allowed personal freedom.
I'm not saying I'll be sorry
No regret expressed for potential hurtful words.
For all the things that I might say that make you cry
Unwillingness to guarantee specific actions to prevent tears.
I can't say I'll always do
Unable to promise conformity to desires.
The things you want me to
Expressing a lack of commitment to specific actions.
I'm not saying I'll be true but I'll try
Committing to making an effort to be truthful.
I may not be alone each time you see me
Reiterating the possibility of not being alone.
Or show up when I promised that I would
Acknowledging potential unfulfilled promises.
But still I won't deny or mistreat you
Committing not to deny or mistreat with conditional love.
Baby if you love me like you should
Connecting love to proper reciprocation.
I'm not saying I'll be sorry
No apology for potential emotional distress caused.
For all the things that I might say that make you cry
Unwilling to guarantee avoidance of actions causing tears.
I can't say I'll always do
No commitment to fulfilling specific desires.
The things you want me to
Expressing a lack of commitment to specific actions.
I'm not saying I'll be true but I'll try
Committing to making an effort to be truthful.
I can't say I'll always do
No commitment to fulfilling specific desires.
The things you want me to
Expressing a lack of commitment to specific actions.
I'm not saying I'll be true but I'll try
Reiterating an attempt at honesty and sincerity.
