LYRICS, POETRY AND PROSE X
A place to share some words of beauty, inspiration, and fun. This week we are offering unrequited love songs – and is there anything sadder than when you love him or her and he or she don’t love you back? We’ve all been there at some point in our lives, and it hurts. And that’s why we love sad I-love –you-but-you-don’t-love-me songs so much. So grab a hanky and listen up.

For I never knew the art of making love,
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
You give your hand to me,
And then you say, “Goodbye.”
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you’ll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don’t know me
– You Give Your Hand to Me Singers: Ray Charles & Diana Krall, Writers: Eddy Arnold & Cindy Walker
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
– He Stopped Loving Her Today Singer: George Jones, Writers: Bobby Braddock & Curly Putman
I know you don’t love me
But still I burn for you
I know you don’t love me
This flame will die, it’s true
My soul barred completely
Don’t seem enough for you
I know you don’t love me
But the message can’t get through
But You Don’t Love Me Singer: Caro Emerald Writers: Vince Degiorgio, David Schreurs, Vincent Paul Degiorgio, Caroline Leeuw van Der
