Lyrics
Of course, I understand the silence on the airwaves
Expressing understanding of the absence of communication in the media.
The last time we spoke it was strange
Recalling a previous conversation that felt unusual or awkward.
I guess I didn't realise your reassuring presence
Realizing that the comforting presence of someone was taken for granted.
Was a constant I relied on not to change
Acknowledging the stability of the person's presence as a reliable constant.
I dare say you're only doing me a favour
Suggesting that the person's silence might be a favor, providing necessary space.
And giving me the space I might require
Recognizing the value of the space and understanding its importance.
Now I guess I know quite how crucial it was
Realizing the crucial nature of being admired by the person.
To be somebody you admire
Reflecting on the significance of being someone worthy of admiration.
Ain't it sad?
Pondering on the sadness of the situation.
You'd said that you'd call me when you could
Recalling a promise that the person would call when possible.
But you did not
Expressing disappointment as the promised call did not happen.
And I got this funny feeling that you won't
Having a premonition that the person may not call in the future.
I thought in a day or two you'd remember you forgot
Anticipating that the person may remember and call after a day or two.
And you might call me then
Expressing hope that the person will eventually make the promised call.
But you did not
Reiterating disappointment as the expected call did not materialize.
Ain't it sad?
Reiterating the sadness of the situation.
What good can it do to linger on?
Raising a rhetorical question about the usefulness of dwelling on the situation.
I guess I'm just a little sore
Admitting to feeling a bit hurt or upset about the current state of affairs.
It was me you once relied upon
Pointing out that there was a time when the person relied on the speaker.
It's pretty clear that you don't need me anymore
Observing that it's evident the person no longer needs the speaker.
Ain't it sad?
Concluding with a restatement of the inherent sadness in the situation.
