Girl Song
Unrequited Longing: The Tug of Unreturned Affection
Lyrics
At one time I thought I had you all to myself
Expressing a past belief of having exclusive possession of someone's attention.
So I put all the other possibilities up on the shelf
Choosing one possibility and neglecting others, possibly for the sake of a relationship.
And you laughed at me when I stared at you I just wanted to see
Noticing laughter when trying to understand what causes emotional pain in the person.
What it was you had that hurt so bad, you're killing me
Curiosity about the source of emotional distress in the other person, feeling affected.
And what is this thing we have?
Raising a question about the nature of the relationship, acknowledging it's not love.
I know that it isn't love
Acknowledging that the connection is not characterized by genuine love.
And what is this shit that I have on my mind?
Expressing confusion or dissatisfaction with current thoughts and concerns.
Why do I think of you all of the time?
Questioning the constant presence of thoughts about the person in the mind.
Is it possible that you're just blind?
Considering the possibility that the person might be oblivious to the feelings.
Maybe I should give in when you give your signs
Contemplating yielding to signals given by the person as a potential solution.
It seems time has taken its toll on us
Reflecting on the impact of time on the relationship, implying challenges or changes.
Feel free to give me a call if you must
Inviting the person to reach out if they wish, suggesting an open line of communication.
I know you can't be swayed and your mind is made up
Recognizing the person's strong convictions and unswayed mindset.
Maybe one day you'll care, yay-e-yeah
Expressing hope that one day the person will care, indicating a longing for reciprocation.
And what is this shit that I have on my mind?
Reiterating the presence of troubling thoughts and preoccupations.
Why do I think of you all the fucking time?
Expressing frustration at the persistent thoughts about the person.
You're impossible, you must be blind
Describing the person as challenging or difficult, suggesting potential obliviousness.
And I'm not giving in when you give your signs
Affirming a refusal to yield despite signals from the person, maintaining personal stance.
