Annotations for Overdue

Lyric: You know that I care
 You should have been there
 You know that I care
 You should have been there
Annotation:
The previous sound on the Showbiz album, “Escape”, refers to his parents' divorce and the bad role his father played. Bellamy said in Escape “I don’t want you to think that I care” “I never would, I never could again”. This music, which is calmer than the previous one, responds to Escape with these phrases which he repeats. After the anger and rejection against his father we can clearly see that his difficult relationship with him has left its mark on Bellamy.

Lyric: You needed it when I was away
Annotation:
I believe here Matt is talking about his partner needing him, whilst he was away, possibly on tour.
