Lyrics

Have you ever wondered

Expressing curiosity or contemplation about a particular situation or feeling.

If it smarts when you've hurt and ignored

Wondering if emotional pain is felt when causing harm and being disregarded.

Oh, the sort that goes away

Referring to a type of pain or emotion that eventually fades away.

Even though I waited for you

Waiting for someone, possibly in anticipation or expectation.

Oh, how I adore you

Expressing deep affection or admiration for someone.


You never saw my face

Feeling unnoticed or overlooked by the person addressed.

I traced your path each day

Monitoring the actions or movements of the person regularly.

We could be always together

Desire for a constant and enduring connection with the person.


Now I watch you bleed

Observing the person experiencing pain or distress.

You had all I need

Acknowledging that the person had everything the speaker needed.

How I love you so

Expressing profound love for the person.

Now we'll never know

Regretting the missed opportunity to fully understand the person.

If I can't have you

Expressing the emotional impact of not being able to have the person.


I even did the research

Indicating effort in understanding and connecting with the person.

Went to work, learned to flirt

Engaging in various actions, possibly to attract attention.

Wore a skirt and faced dirt

Overcoming challenges and difficulties in pursuit of the person.

And, ah, still you didn't notice

Expressing disappointment at not being noticed despite efforts.

You never focused on me

Feeling ignored or overlooked by the person of interest.


You never saw my face

Reiteration of not being seen by the person addressed.

I traced your path each day

Continuing to follow the person's daily activities closely.

You never lifted your eyes to me, ah

Not receiving acknowledgment or attention from the person.


Now I watch you bleed

Witnessing the person in a vulnerable state, possibly due to the speaker's unfulfilled desires.

You had all I need

Acknowledging that the person possessed everything the speaker desired.

How I love you so

Reiterating deep love for the person despite unfulfilled desires.

Now we'll never know

Expressing the permanent uncertainty and lack of understanding due to the unattainable nature of the person.

If I can't have you

Reiterating the emotional impact of not being able to have the person.


If I can't have you

Emphasizing the yearning or desire for the person despite the impossibility.

If I can't have you

Repetition of the longing or craving for the unattainable person.

If I can't have you

Final emphasis on the unfulfilled desire for the person.
