Unsteady Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll say it to you anyway.
Now that you're gone and we don't see each other,
I think about you every day.
I'm always hoping we'll get back together.
I wish that you would stay.
There's no address for me to send a letter.
I'll tell you in this way.
I could never love another.
Though I couldn't leave the life I live,
The love I have is yours.
I will always be true,
I couldn't be with any other.
And if you'll never wander back to me,
My heart's an open door.
My friends always tell me that I'm cold and bitter,
Since you walked out on me.
All of my logic tells me that I'm better.
My heart still disagrees.
You and the music were my two obsessions.
I couldn't have both ways.
Don't you know that I'm a fool musician?
So I just had to play.
All my heart for you.
I could never love another.
Though I couldn't leave the life I live,
The love I have is yours.
I will always be true,
I couldn't be with any other.
And if you'll never wander back to me,
My heart's an open door.
