Who Are You to Say
Unveiling Heartbreak: Robert Vincent's Emotional Odyssey in 'Who Are You to Say'
Lyrics
The majesty of decision
The significant importance of making a choice.
When it all goes right
When everything goes well or according to plan.
For you to both think you broke my heart
The perception that both individuals believe they caused emotional pain and abandonment.
And left me to die
Feeling abandoned and left to face difficulties alone.
I watched you walk away
Observing someone leaving, possibly after a breakup.
You were smiling that day
The person left with a positive memory of the departing individual smiling.
And who are you to say
Raising a question about the credibility or authority of the other person.
Your eyes don't want me
Challenging the sincerity of the other person's emotions through their eyes.
And who are you to say
Continuing to question the emotional honesty reflected in the other person's eyes.
Your eyes don't need me
Expressing doubt about the necessity of the person in the speaker's life based on their eyes.
And who are you, to tell me we're through
Questioning the authority of the other person to declare the end of the relationship.
When all I can see are your eyes
Despite the breakup, the speaker's focus remains on the eyes of the other person.
Do you lie awake
Asking if the other person lies awake during the night.
In the dark of night
Specifically, questioning their state of mind during the dark hours.
Or close your eyes
Asking if the other person closes their eyes, possibly to avoid confronting the past.
Do you see my face
Pondering if the other person visualizes the speaker's face with a sense of remorse.
With regret it brings
Reflecting on the regret associated with remembering the speaker.
And cry out loud
Imagining the possibility of the other person expressing regret loudly.
