Love Letters
Unrequited Echoes: The Poetic Longing of 'Love Letters'
Lyrics
I love you even when you don't love me
I express my love for you even when you don't reciprocate.
I feel you when you're talking birds and bees
I sense your presence when you engage in casual conversations or discussions about intimate topics.
I know you want to have you stared up at the trees
I understand your desire to gaze at the trees, perhaps seeking wisdom or solace.
They have some wisdom that they never share with me
The trees possess wisdom, but they withhold it from me, leaving me curious and disconnected.
Why don't you love me
Expressing a plea or frustration about the lack of reciprocated love.
Still got your letters on my shelf
I still keep the love letters you wrote to me on display.
I read 'em sometimes
I occasionally read these letters when I feel the need for emotional support.
When I think that I need help
Reading the letters doesn't provide the expected help; instead, it adds to my sadness.
But they never help me
The letters fail to offer assistance, leaving me feeling melancholic.
They just make me sad and blue
The letters contribute to my sadness and a sense of longing for the past.
I know it's silly but I'm still in love with you
Despite the silliness, I remain in love with you.
Why don't you need me
Expressing a sense of yearning and questioning the absence of mutual need.
Why don't you love me like I love you
A plea for reciprocal love, highlighting a perceived imbalance in the relationship.
Just take it and leave me
An invitation to accept the love offered and move on.
Just do what you want to do
Encouraging the freedom to do as one wishes, releasing any obligations.
I love you even when you don't love me
Reiteration of expressing love despite its unreciprocated nature.
I feel you when you're talking birds and bees
Reiterating the feeling of connection during discussions about nature.
I know you want to have you stared up at the trees
Recognizing the desire to appreciate nature's beauty and wisdom.
They have some wisdom that they never share with me
Revisiting the notion that nature withholds wisdom from the speaker.
I'm feeling ancient
Expressing a feeling of aging and the realization that time is passing.
Time is catching up with me
Feeling a sense of spaciousness and contentment with the current situation.
I'm feeling spacious
Embracing the freedom of having no preferred place to be.
Got no place I'd rather be
Acknowledging a shared sense of being unconventional or unpredictable.
You know I'm crazy
Acknowledging a degree of emotional instability or eccentricity.
But I guess you're crazy too
Recognizing the partner's potential craziness and the shared unconventional nature.
I tried to forget you but that's proving hard to do
Struggling to move on from the relationship despite attempts to forget.
Why don't you need me
Reiterating the question about the absence of reciprocal need from the partner.
Why don't you love me like I love you
Reiterating the desire for the partner to love in the same manner.
Just take it and leave me
Encouraging the partner to accept the love offered and pursue their desires.
Just do what you want to do
Granting freedom for the partner to do what they wish, emphasizing independence.
