Hey Mister
i & i Lyrics

Hey Mister, where have you been?
Asking the person who was never there, absent when needed the most.

I'll never get to live this life again.
Expressing the urgency to not have to go through life again without answers.

I gave it all but you were never there,
Putting in the effort, but never getting the support in return.

I gave it all but did you ever really care?
Questioning if the lack of presence and support was a result of lack of concern and care.

I hope where you are is a home for you,
Wishing for the person who wasn't there to have found a home, contrary to the singer who never found a sense of belonging, always looking for them.

because I never found mine while I was always looking for you.
Admitting the difficulty of finding their own home and sense of belonging due to the constant search for the absent person.

Where are you this time?
Questioning the whereabouts and lack of presence.

You never showed, you'll never know,
Expressing the disappointment of the absence and the disconnection from the events and emotions of the singer's life.

How could you just let me go?
Asking for an explanation of why they were let go from the support and presence they needed.

I'm all alone but you can't feel that,
Feeling alone and unacknowledged by the person who was supposed to be there.

Look at me now, now I've become,
Reflecting on the person they have grown into due to the lack of support and presence.

become the man you'll never know.
Acknowledging that the absent person will never know who the singer became without them.

This is the anthem for all you cowards.
Calling out the absent person for their cowardly behavior and lack of support.

Cowards!
Reiterating the characterization of the absent person as being cowardly.

I just don't see it eye to eye anymore,
Admitting the growing gap and disagreement between the singer and the absent person.

You were too much for me to ignore.
Acknowledging the impact and importance of the absent person, despite their absence.

This search has been full of so many tears,
Referring to the emotional struggle caused by constantly searching for the absent person.

That flooded the future I saw discovering you.
Implying that hopes for the future were shattered due to the emotional toll taken by the search for the absent person.

This is what I got,
Accepting the situation as it is.

I don't need you anymore.
Stating that the absence has caused the singer to no longer need the person who was never there anyway.

This is what I got,
Reiterating the acceptance.

I don't need you anymore.
Restating that the singer has moved on from needing the absent person.
