8. UNREQUITED ~

[Intro – airy, intimate] (soft hums) I try to play it cool… but I can’t lie to myself… Something about you… keeps pullin’ me in… [Verse 1 – smooth phrasing] I know where this could go… if I let my guard down… You got that quiet pull… that I can’t turn off now… I keep it all inside… don’t wanna cross the line… Cause what I feel for you… might not be returned this time… (space for instrumental) I’d rather have you close… than risk losin’ everything… [Pre-Chorus – emotional lift] I try not to read too deep… into the way you speak… But every little moment… feels like it means something… [Hook – rhythmic staccato + vibrato tails] I-don’t-know-if-this-is-what-I-neeedddd~ I-just-know-I-want-you-close-to-meee~ Even-if-you-don’t-feel-the-same-bout-meee~ something-bout-you-stay-on-my-braaainnn~ I-can’t-force-what-you-don’t-seeee~ but-I-still-wish-you’d-choose-meee~ [Verse 2 – includes brief lower tone] I try to keep it light… act like it’s nothing new… But every time you smile… it pulls me back to you… [lower tone] You don’t reach for my hand… [normal tone] but you don’t pull away… So I stay in this space… hoping you might change… (instrument breath) Maybe I’m askin’ too much… for something undefined… [Bridge – sparse, emotional] If I said how I feel… would it push you away… Or would it ruin… what we already made… [lower tone] I don’t wanna lose you… [normal tone] even if I can’t have you… [Final Hook – same groove pocket] I-don’t-know-if-this-is-meant-to-beee~ still-I-find-you-right-here-next-to-meee~ Even-if-it’s-just-in-my-minddd~ I-don’t-wanna-leave-this-behiiiinddd~ but-my-heart-don’t-know-how-to-be-stiiilll~ [Outro – emotional refrain] I know it’s unrequited-loveee~ oh na na na na, ohhh na na na naaah, you got me sprunngg… (yeaahh) I-know-you-don’t-feel-the-same-bout-meee~ (nooo) I-can’t-force-what-you-don’t-seeee~ but-I-still-wish-you’d-choose-meee~Je t’aime en silence… mais tu ne me vois pas… Mon cœur reste pour toi… même sans toi…
