Unrequited Lyrics

Don't
Wake
Me
I'm
So
Empty

I
I
I
Tried
I'm
Sorry

I've seen you without me
I've seen you without me

- Guitar solo -

You can say what you want

I've seen you without me
I've seen you without me
I've seen you without me, I know that you'll understand
I've seen you without me, I know that you'll understand

Aaa, aaa, aaa, aaa, aaa, aaa, aaa, aaa

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

An incredible song, Therapy?'s finest, I think. Such incredible emotion, too, without wanting to sound like an emokid. And yeah, I think the title tells you all you need to know about the meaning.

Some other stuff I forgot to add: This song reminds me of the Smiths 'Girlfriend In A Coma' in some ways, mostly because of the relative simplicity of the lyrical structure, and the strings. Plus, this was one of only two songs that made me cry (ahem, yeah, I'm not an emokid at all. Not a single bit. Better not point out that the other song was 'Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence' by Glassjaw, hm? Oops)
