Requited Lyrics

She hangs the poster on the wall from last nights show

He's always talking of a distant tomorrow

She tells him time after time

You'll one day make it if you learn to step in line

But she can't keep going on

And she becomes his lost song

So he writes through the night

Telling stories how he tried to take his life

His music is now playing on the radio

He rides the waves and it plays everywhere he goes

But he laments on what was

She found a man who's stable and they fell in love

But yet he keeps holding on

And writes her name in a song

And she hears it one day

While she's with her new man on a lovely date

And it says

I don't need your reasons

'Cause it's not my place to know

I just want you to see

How very far I've come

He nearly died last summer in the heat of June

He played there breathless in a vacant hotel room

And then she heard on the news

"Lost in longing is a man who plays the blues"

But still she kept moving on

And soon he followed along

And he cried through the night

And told himself from inside

I don't need your reasons

'Cause it's not my place to know

I just want you to see

How very far I've come

I don't need your reasons

'Cause it's not my place to know

I just want you to see

How very far I've come

I don't need your reasons

No, no, no…
