Sally's Song
Amy Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That seems like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
What will become of my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
And will we ever end up together?
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
The song Sally's Song, performed by Amy Lee, is a haunting ballad that captures the uncertainty and longing of unrequited love. The lyrics describe Sally's conflicted feelings about Jack, the object of her affection. She senses that something terrible is about to happen, and though she wants to support Jack, she can't shake the feeling that she's not the one he truly loves. The chorus of the song repeats the question of whether Sally and Jack will ever end up together, and Sally ultimately concludes that it's not meant to be.
Line by Line Meaning
I sense there's something in the wind
I have an intuition that something ominous is coming
That seems like tragedy's at hand
It feels like there is going to be a sad event
And though I'd like to stand by him
Even though I want to support him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
I cannot get rid of this uneasy feeling I have
The worst is just around the bend
Things are going to get even worse soon
And does he notice my feelings for him?
I wonder if he is aware of how I feel about him
And will he see how much he means to me?
I hope he can understand how much I care about him
I think it's not to be
I believe that we will never be together
What will become of my dear friend
What will happen to my beloved friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
What will happen as a result of his choices?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
Even though I want to be a part of the group
In their enthusiastic cloud
And share in their excitement
Try as I may, it doesn't last
But no matter how hard I try, that happiness doesn't stay with me
And will we ever end up together?
Will we ever be a couple?
No, I think not, it's never to become
No, I don't think so; it will never happen
For I am not the one
Because I am not the right person for him
