A Song for No One

(Joshua Lyons)

A contemplative, regretful love song from the perspective of someone who is treated like a nobody and wants to acknowledge the people who hurt them the same way.

This is a song for no one
Not happy, indifferent, or sad
A tribute to no shared affection
A blurred reflection of love never had
This is a song for no one
In spite of whom may come to mind
Not for a love they could fully possess but aren't even trying to find

This is a song for no one
For a rose I never saw bloom
With roots that expanded it
Into a tome that follows me
Down to my tomb
This is a song for no one
No one I am willing to name
This is a song for no one girl
When each one always
Turns out the same

This is a song for no one
A Song for No One

This Is a song for no one
Not for a girl who makes me serene
She may not be a ray of light
But at least she lights up
My cell phone screen

This is a song for no one
For a day when we didn't hold hands
And the sun slowly rose as we quietly closed
The book on all our future plans
This is a song for no one
For a face I never did kiss
For something that really meant nothing
For someone I never will miss

This is a song for no one
No one who cares anyway
I may be attuned to
But far from immune to
All of the games you play
This is a song for someone
Possibly even three
But if you ask around
You'll quickly have found
That to them the only no one is me
The only no one is me

This is a song for no one
For whom I don't feel anything
For a Summer that lasted through
Winter but couldn't quite make it through Spring
A song for no one who loved me
Redefine the meaning of low
For a love that was booked to perform 
But never appeared at the show
This is a song for no one
Who one night just suddenly changed
And only failed to connect because
My signal was just slightly out of her range
The past you'll find is vampiric
Just hoping you'll answer the door
Complaining about the ocean
Refusing to swim to the shore
