In Unrequited Love, Lykke Li sings about how much she’s in love with someone, but the person she loves doesn’t love her back. She sings “Once again, it’s happening”. It seems like it’s a recurring situation for her. The song is inherently sad, and indeed Entertainment Weekly says Lykke Li captures the sadness of unrequited love perfectly, and doomed romance is a theme throughout her album.
We don’t know if Lykke Li is still single, or if she is truly living a life of unrequited love, but what we can hope for is that the Swedish singer-songwriter finds her perfect partner soon, if she hasn’t already.
Once again it's happening
All this love is unrequited
Twice the pain, the suffering
All my love is unrequited
All my love is unrequited
That must mean I'll live again
And get back what I gave my men
Get back what I lost to them
All the shame, this crying game
All my love I've been denied
All my love is unrequited
And I know it so well I could play it again
Looking back at myself
While the violin plays
This endure is my tomb
Another stitch to my wound
Another inch in this dwell I know it all too well
When once again it's happening
All our love has gone divided
All my love is unrequited
All my love is unrequited
All my love is unrequited
All my love is unrequited
