Why Can’t You See

Listen:
‘Last Walk’ reflects on the feeling of loss and longing for someone who is no longer there. The lyrics use the metaphor of taking one last walk to symbolize the search for closure and the desire to reconnect with memories of the past.
Lyrics
WHY CAN’T YOU SEE:
Every day, I see you walk by
You never even look me in the eye
In your heart, you know I’ll always love you
What can I say? What can I do?
Every day, I sit and think about
All the reasons I could ever doubt
Ever be loved by someone like you
It’s not the same in life without you
Without you
Why can’t you see in me
What everyone else sees in me?
Why can’t you know
What everyone else seems to already know?
And then, and then you’d see
That I, that I could be
Everything that you need
For anything
Hey
Every night, I lie awake and dream
Wishing things were different than they seem
You don’t even know what’s on my mind
But I’ve been waiting here the whole damn time
I pretend that I don’t really care
But I can feel it hanging in the air
If you ever stop to take a look
You’d finally see what’s right in front of you
Why can’t you see in me
What everyone else sees in me?
Why can’t you know
What everyone else seems to already know?
And then, and then you’d see
That I, that I could be
Everything that you need
For anything
Woah
Woah, anything
Ooh, oh
Anything, oh
