What About Us
Navigating Love's Crossroads: What About Us
Lyrics
Verse 1
Introduction to the emotional state of the speaker
It's one of those days, nothing has changed
Expressing a sense of stagnation and routine
Though we are silent, there's so much to say
Despite silence, there's unspoken tension and emotions
Something ain't right, after all this time
Recognition of something being wrong after a long time
How can it be that we lead separate lives
Questioning how a couple can live separate lives
I feel insecure
Feeling insecure in the relationship
Nothing reminds me of you anymore
No reminders of the partner, a sense of detachment
Chorus 1
Reiteration of the central question about the relationship
What about us, what about us
Asking about the status of their love, reminiscing about past commitment
What about the days when we did anything for love
-Tell me , what about us, I'm missing your love
-What about the promise of forever, tell me what about us
-Verse 2
Observing their lives and denying existing troubles
I look at our lives
Reflecting on the current state of their relationship
Our troubles denied
Ignoring or avoiding their problems
I'm hiding my tears to the world outside
Hiding personal pain from the outside world
We only make love
Describing a lack of emotional connection and communication
Avoiding the talks
-I never thought this could happen to us
-If you care about love,
Expressing disappointment in the partner's lack of care
Then why don't you care about us
-Chorus 2
Repeating the central question in a different musical section
Tell me , what about us, what about us
-What about the days when we did anything for love
-Tell me , what about us, I'm missing your love
-What about the promise of forever, tell me what about us
-Bridge
Expressing confusion and sadness about the deterioration of the relationship
What happened to us
-We're strangers in love
-Why did it all slip away
-Baby it's not enough
-Doubts are stronger than love
-Give me a reason to stay
-What about us
Pleading for answers about the relationship
X-tra chorus
Repeating the central theme with variations, emphasizing the longing for the past
I'm missing your love, what happened to us
-I would do anything , what about us
-What about love, I miss you and me,
-I'm missing the way that our life used to be
-Tell me , what about us
Final plea for information about the state of the relationship
