There's Something I Have To Tell You
Unspoken Confessions: A Tale of Missed Chances
Lyrics
He passed her yesterday
He encountered her the day before
He was at the station
He was present at the train station
She was on a train
She was inside a train
It must've been the fifth time this week
It seems to be the fifth occasion this week
That he caught her eye and quickly looked away
He noticed her but quickly averted his gaze
Well there's something I have to tell you
Expressing a forthcoming revelation
But you're not gonna like it at all
The news might be displeasing
Cos you'll never know what could've happened
Reflecting on missed opportunities
If you're not gonna pick up and call
Emphasizing the importance of communication
Next week he passed her by
A subsequent encounter occurred the following week
She was having a laugh with another guy
She was enjoying a conversation with another man
He started to sweat but quickly shrugged it off
He felt uneasy but dismissed the feeling
He straightened his tie and cleared his throat with a cough
He composed himself, adjusting his appearance
He sat there thinking what could've been
Reflecting on missed opportunities and what could have been
They could be married with kids or somewhere in between
Contemplating potential life scenarios
Well there's something I have to tell you
Reiteration of an impending disclosure
But you're not gonna like it at all
Anticipation of a negative reaction
Cos you'll never know what could've happened
Highlighting the uncertainty resulting from lack of action
If you're not gonna pick up and call
Stressing the need for communication
Well there's something I have to tell you
Repetition of the forthcoming revelation
But you're not gonna like it at all
Emphasizing the potential displeasure of the news
Cos you'll never know what could've happened
Underlining the consequences of not taking action
If you're not gonna pick up and call
Reiteration of the importance of communication
Well there's something I have to tell you
Restating the forthcoming disclosure
But you're not gonna like it at all
Emphasizing potential dissatisfaction with the revelation
Cos you'll never know what could've happened
Highlighting the uncertainty resulting from inaction
If you're not gonna pick up and call
Stressing the need for communication
I don't know if I can help you
Expressing uncertainty about offering assistance
But I've got something big to tell you
Announcing the presence of significant news
I don't know if I can help you
Reiterating uncertainty about providing help
But I've got something big to tell you
Announcing the presence of significant news
