Unrequited (2013)
Music and Lyrics by Davy Stone

lyrics

I wanted to write a letter asking why you did me wrong,
But the words brought out a melody, so I wrote you this song.
And with the words came pain; I'm bleeding out on the page,
Though it hurts more to let my heart sing than to lock it in a cage.

My lyrics will never reach your ears; they never have before,
So you won't hear me say, "I hope you hurt a little bit more."
I lie awake at night in a mood less than constructive
While you're somewhere far away, sleeping cozy and tucked in.

I saw you just the other day, walking in the rain.
I couldn't shake the feeling of how everything has changed.
Now I'm just another stranger you pass without a word.
I whispered my "goodbye" and again went unheard.

'Cause you're long gone
And I'm barely hanging on.
Yeah, you're long gone
And I'm barely hanging on.

I want to know why you let me get so close,
Then vanished with no goodbye.
Won't you tell me please how you're still okay,
When it's plain to see that this is killing me.

You're long gone
And I'm barely hanging on.
Yeah, you're long gone
And I'm barely hanging on.

I wanted to write a letter asking why you did me wrong,
But the words brought out a melody, so I wrote you this song.
