21 Lagu Sedih Barat yang Enak Didengar, Cocok Buat yang Lagi Galau

11. The Man Who Can’t Be Moved – The Script

Menurut Danny O’Donoghue, lagu sedih barat ini bercerita tentang emosi sejati dan cinta sejati namun tidak dapat memiliki.

Sang vokalis juga menjelaskan bahwa ketika lagu itu jadi, dia berkata, ‘Kita baru saja menulis lagu seperti karakter gaya Forrest Gump yang kembali ke tempat dia pertama kali bertemu dan dia tidak tahu mengapa.

Dia hanya ingin duduk di sana dan dia akan menunggu.’ Lah kok sedih.

Lirik lagu The Man Who Can’t Be Moved:

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I’m not gonna move

Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, “If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?”

Some try to hand me money, they don’t understand
I’m not broke – I’m just a broken-hearted man

I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?
How can I move on when I’m still in love with you?

‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be

Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
And you’ll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I’m not moving, I’m not moving

Policeman says, “Son, you can’t stay here”
I said, “There’s someone I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year

Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go”

‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be

Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
And you’ll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I’m not moving, I’m not moving
I’m not moving, I’m not moving

People talk about the guy who’s waiting on a girl, oh, oh
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world, hmm

And maybe I’ll get famous as the man who can’t be moved
Maybe you won’t mean to but you’ll see me on the news
And you’ll come running to the corner

‘Cause you’ll know it’s just for you
I’m the man who can’t be moved
I’m the man who can’t be moved

‘Cause if one day you wake up, and find that you’re missing me
(Find you’re missing me)
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be
(Oh, where on Earth I could be)

Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
(To the place that we’d meet, oh, oh)
And you’ll see me waiting for you, on the corner of the street
(On the corner of the street)

‘Cause if one day you wake up, and find that you’re missing me
(So I’m not moving)
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be
(I’m not moving)

Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
(I’m not moving)
And you’ll see me waiting for you, on the corner of the street
(I’m not moving)

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I’m not gonna move

Lirik Lagu I Won’t Give Up:

When I look into your eyes
It’s like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there’s so much they hold

And just like them old stars
I see that you’ve come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up

And when you’re needing your space
To do some navigating
I’ll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

‘Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We’ve got a lot to learn
God knows we’re worth it
No, I won’t give up

I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I’m here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake

And in the end, you’re still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn’t break, we didn’t burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I’ve got, and what I’m not
And who I am

I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up, I’m still looking up

Well, I won’t give up on us (no I’m not giving up)
God knows I’m tough, he knows (I am tough, I am loved)
We got a lot to learn (we’re alive, we are loved)
God knows we’re worth it (and we’re worth it)

I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up
