Unspoken Words
The & Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The whole world knows that love goes wrong
Why loose a heart that isn't broken?
It isn't broken, it can't be broken
Life's just a show for free
Come along and watch with me
The only sins are words unspoken
Sweet things come and go
Give me shame, I'll give you wow
To live for love isn't so easy
It isn't easy, it won't be easy!
How all good men try,
Look around and wonder why
Can they shape this world to please me
Can they please me, should they please me?
I follow but maybe you'll correct me
I wish you'd never met me
For I am your gentle man
I follow and while you watch and wonder
I call my world a sundown
And show you who I am
Send me a gentle dream
of love so strange it's never seen
And proof how such a love can happen
It can happen, make it happen
Fine things tumble down
Fade away without a sound
But hope must never end or slacken
Never slacken, never slacken
I follow but maybe you'll correct me
I wish you'd never met me
I am your gentle man
I follow and while you watch and wonder
I call my world a sundown
And show you who I am

Oh Lord, I'm so depressed right now.
Things are not going according to plan.
I feel like I've lost control of my life.
It seems like I'm far from achieving my dreams.
But I refuse to lose hope and faith.
I refuse to stop dreaming and I refuse to let go of my desires!

It's 2023 I'm a first year and all my friends turned their backs on me and I'm alone, this song makes me believe in myself
@lilithaelisa6840
I also as a friend to somebody have turned my back on them. We decided to do it as a group of friends because we felt like she was a bad friend to us. She was wrong at some things. But I regret it everyday. She's also human and nobody is perfect. My intentions are to tell my friends that we should go and apologize. If they do not meet me halfway then am going alone.
Just wanted to say may you pass through that phase and see lightness at the end. And may the situation make you stronger as a person. Those friends really do not deserve you.
@savagexlover9692
I'm so sorry to hear that I know how painful losing friends can be. I just want you to know you will meet great people and you will love them and they will love you. Stay safe nana and always wear your heart on your sleeve 💕
