The speaker is struggling with unrequited love for someone who does not reciprocate their feelings and leaves them hanging. While the speaker could hate the other person every day, it would not change the fact that the other person has moved on to be with someone else, leaving the speaker feeling confused, hurt, and unable to simply turn off their feelings.

1. You think I don’t see you when
you run…

2. How you turn and head for home…

3. And leave me… stumbling

4. You think I don’t hear it in your voice

5. When you pull back on your words…

6. and leave me hanging here…

7. You’re a long hard road to walk

8. You’re a long, long time to wait…

10. I don’t even like to play

11. I could hate you every day,

12. But it won’t take this away.

13. You think I don’t know she takes
you home…

14. Holds you close when you’re alone…

15. And I can’t stop it happening

17. All these feelings that I hide…

18. It ain’t that easy.

19. To turn it off and let it go

20. I’d be better off I know

21. I don’t understand this game…

22. I don’t even like to play

23. I could hate you every day,

24. But it won’t take this away.

25. Turn it off and let it go

26. I’d be better off I know

27. I don’t understand this game

28. I don’t even like to play

29. I could hate you every day

30. But it won’t take this away.
