Now it’s 2am here at the crossroad Sitting next to each other and watching people go by In my heart there are strange feelings (But I just can’t say) U asked me what you should do When the one you love has just left you Taking your heart away and not saying anything (But why can’t you see?) Oh baby!

Why can’t you see, after all this time When the girl who’s right next to you Can’t make you feel like i do, like i do Why are you so quick to love, i’m the one who loves you Why can’t you see, she doesn’t love you anymore Like you dreamed last night She doesn’t think about you everyday like i do, like i do Although i was a latecomer in love, i’m still the one who loves you You began to cry on my shoulder So many times she took you for granted I just wanna hold you hands and say I love you so much But my heart is now speechless Even though both of us walked the same road everytime Why can’t my emotions turn into words Cause i know that you still long for her from the bottom of your heart, oh oh!

Practice Tips

When practicing with this song, consider using the shadowing app to enhance your comprehension and pronunciation skills. Begin by listening to the song at a slower speed to grasp the lyrics and their emotional undertones. Once you feel comfortable, switch to a regular speed and try to sing along, focusing on mimicking the artist’s intonation and rhythm. This practice not only sharpens your English speaking skills but also helps you express complex feelings through your tone of voice.

When applying the shadowing technique, pay close attention to pauses and emotion-laden phrases within the lyrics. For example, the repeated line "Why can’t you see?" emphasizes the speaker's frustration and longing. Shadowing these phrases will help you understand how inflection contributes to meaning in English.

Additionally, practice with a partner by reciting lines from the song, allowing them to respond with their interpretations. This will facilitate not only speaking practice but a deeper understanding of emotional expression in conversational English. Engage with the feelings conveyed in the song, and you’ll find your own ability to communicate about love and longing will improve significantly.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
