Lyrics
Where was I when you forgot about me?
Expressing a sense of being forgotten or overlooked.
Was I with you right there in the room
Questioning if the speaker was physically present during the apparent neglect.
Did it happen overnight or a little at a time?
Wondering if the change in the relationship occurred suddenly or gradually.
Was it something I did or didn't do?
Questioning personal responsibility for the change.
And now
Transition to the present, emphasizing the current state of the relationship.
You're staring back at me
Observing the partner looking back, possibly without understanding the speaker's feelings.
Still you never see that
Highlighting the partner's lack of awareness or recognition.
I see you
Asserting the speaker's ability to see and understand the partner.
Never see me
Emphasizing the partner's inability to reciprocate understanding or acknowledgment.
Never hear and never believe me
Expressing frustration at not being heard or believed.
And every night I see you losing me
Conveying a sense of nightly realization about the deterioration of the relationship.
Why does love get so complicated?
Pondering the complexity that love often brings to relationships.
Why do feelings have to change?
Questioning the inevitability of changing feelings in a relationship.
Can't they last forever
Expressing a desire for enduring emotions.
Do they fade away with time
Wondering if feelings naturally diminish over time.
Or does it always have to end this way
Questioning the recurring pattern of relationships coming to an end.
Tell me why
Seeking an explanation for the challenges in love.
If love is really blind
Questioning the metaphorical blindness of love, exploring its limitations.
When I close my eyes do
Raising the question of whether love persists when not visually perceived.
I see you
Reiterating the speaker's ability to see and understand the partner.
Never see me
Emphasizing the partner's ongoing failure to reciprocate understanding.
Never hear and never believe me
Reiterating frustration at not being heard or believed.
And every night I see you losing me
Repeating the nightly realization of the relationship's deterioration.
Yeah, I see you
Reaffirming the speaker's perception of the partner's actions.
Never see me
Reiterating the partner's ongoing failure to reciprocate understanding.
Never hear and never believe me
Reiterating frustration at not being heard or believed.
And every night I see you losing me
Repeating the nightly realization of the relationship's deterioration.
I see you you (I see you baby)
Repeating the assertion of seeing and understanding the partner.
Never hear and (Never believe it)
Reiterating the partner's failure to hear or believe.
And every night I see you losing me (That's what you do to me!)
Repeating the realization of losing the partner each night.
I see you (I see you I see you I see you)
Repeating the assertion of seeing and understanding the partner.
Never here and (Never never never)
Reiterating the partner's failure to hear or believe.
Every night I see you losing me (That's what you do to me)
Repeating the realization of losing the partner each night.
I see you
Reaffirming the speaker's ability to see and understand the partner.
Never here it
Emphasizing the partner's continued inability to hear.
Every night I see you losing me (Never, never, never, never)
Repeating the nightly realization of the relationship's deterioration.
I see you
Reaffirming the speaker's perception of the partner's actions.
Every night I see you losing me
Repeating the realization of losing the partner each night.
