For All You Know
Unveiling the Untold Emotional Turmoil in "For All You Know" by Sam Bayford
Lyrics
I was telling you how I felt
I expressed my feelings to you
Then you said baby alright well
You responded, acknowledging my feelings
You told me I need to be myself
You advised me to be authentic
But you wish that I could be anyone else
Despite that advice, you wish I were someone else
Now you cry all the time
You are frequently in tears
And it's contagious
Your sadness affects others
On any weekday, night, special occasions
Emotional impact is not limited to specific times
As you turn to leave
As you leave, I witness the situation as it is
I get to see that's just the way it should be
The situation appears appropriate
Tell me one thing before you go
Request for clarification before departure
Was there something
Query about anything I needed to demonstrate
You needed me to show
You never allowed me to love you
Cause you never gave me the chance to love you
We had the potential to be everything
Though, we could've been everything
Expression of missed opportunities
For all you know
Reflecting on missed possibilities
You say you feel a little better now
You claim to feel slightly better now
But it depends on the weather how many
Dependent on external factors for improvement
Fires I gotta put out
Challenges to be addressed
Over things I might never figure out
Issues that may remain unresolved
Now you cry all the time
You continue to cry, and it's been a long time
And it's been ages
It's been a while since you gave me attention
Since you gave me your time
I'm on a waiting list for your time
I'm on the waiting list
Patience is required as you leave
As you turn to leave
I see that's the way things are
I get to see that's just the way it is
Confirmation of the current situation
Tell me one thing before you go
Request for clarity before departure (repeated)
Was there something
Questioning if there's something to demonstrate (repeated)
You needed me to show
You never allowed me to love you (repeated)
Cause you never gave me the chance to love you
We had the potential to be everything (repeated)
Though, we could've been everything
Reflection on missed possibilities (repeated)
For all you know
Contemplation on missed opportunities (repeated)
Would you rather be in love and work harder
Choice between love and putting in effort
Or leave me here with nothing?
The dilemma of leaving with nothing
Cause I can't if you're never gonna find it
Uncertainty if you'll ever discover it
I'm really trying to find you
An earnest effort to find you
Would you rather be in love and work harder
Reiteration of the choice between love and effort
Or leave me here with nothing?
The dilemma of leaving with nothing (repeated)
Cause I can't if you're never gonna find it
Uncertainty if you'll ever discover it (repeated)
I'm really trying to find you
An earnest effort to find you (repeated)
Tell me one thing before you go
Request for clarification before departure (repeated)
Was there something
Questioning if there's something to demonstrate (repeated)
You needed me to show
You never allowed me to love you (repeated)
Cause you never gave me the chance to love you
We had the potential to be everything (repeated)
Though, we could've been everything
Reflection on missed possibilities (repeated)
For all you know
Contemplation on missed opportunities (repeated)
We could've been everything
We could have been everything (repeated)
For all you know
Reflecting on missed possibilities (repeated)
