Unreachable
Sidibe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let my walls and guard fall down for you
Laid bare myself, because I wanted to
To get close to you

Still you conceal
Maintain your shield
So much resistance
I′ll stay persistent
Show you I'm there
I really care
I′ll never give up
Please don't deny us

I'm letting you know
It′s hurting me so
The way you disappear
Like you were never here
Don′t know what to say
Why you push me away
It's so unspeakable
You′re so unreachable
You're so unreachable

When we′re apart it's like we never met
You act so cold, and I get so upset
Baby don′t forget

How close we are
Lay down your cards
More than affection
I crave connection
Wanna stay on your mind
The way you're on mine
What more can I do
Just trying to reach you

I'm letting you know
It′s hurting me so
The way you disappear
Like you were never here
Don′t know what to say
Why you push me away
It's so unspeakable
You′re so unreachable
You're so unreachable

Why won′t you let me in
Please just let me near
Reveal your deepest fear
You know that I'm your friend
Will you just let go
You′re so unreachable

I'm just trying to reach you
I'm just trying to reach you
I′m just trying to reach you
I′m just trying to reach you
I'm just trying to reach you
I′m just trying to reach you
I'm just trying to reach you

I′m letting you know
It's hurting me so
The way you disappear
Like you were never here
Don′t know what to say
Why you push me away
It's so unspeakable
You're so unreachable
You′re so unreachable

Why won′t you let me in
Please just let me near
Reveal your deepest fear
You know that I'm your friend
Will you just let go
You′re so unreachable

Why won't you let me in
Please just let me near
Reveal your deepest fear
You know that I′m your friend




Will you just let go
You're so unreachable

Overall Meaning

The lyrics are a powerful expression of the frustration and pain of unrequited love that is compounded by the other person's emotional distance.
