August Lament
Embracing Love's Bittersweet Journey
Lyrics
Can't hold it against you
Acknowledging that the listener cannot be blamed
That the winds of change have blown
Recognizing the impact of significant changes
I feel in my bones
Intuitively sensing something profound
You're the best I've ever known
Expressing admiration for the listener as the best ever
One thing about love
Highlighting a general characteristic of love
As good as it can feel
Acknowledging the positive aspect of love
Oh! It's bound to hurt sometimes
Emphasizing the inevitability of pain in love
It's the pain that makes it real
Stating that the pain in love is what makes it authentic
Your heart is your heart
Acknowledging the individuality of hearts
My heart is mine
Emphasizing the personal nature of one's own heart
We took a chance and laid 'em on the line
Recalling a shared risk and openness in the relationship
Can't hold it against me
Asserting that the speaker shouldn't be blamed for difficulty in parting ways
If it's hard to say goodbye
Acknowledging the challenge of saying goodbye
You took hold of my soul
Describing the deep impact the listener had on the speaker's soul
And carved your name inside
Symbolizing commitment by carving the listener's name inside
We might have taken chances
Recognizing the risks taken in the relationship
But that's what lovers do
Affirming that taking chances is a characteristic of lovers
It's a winding road
Describing the relationship journey as a challenging path
Still we try to make it through
Expressing the ongoing effort to navigate difficulties in the relationship
Your heart is your heart
Reiterating the individuality of hearts
My heart is mine
Reaffirming the personal nature of one's own heart
We took a chance and laid 'em on the line
Recalling a shared risk and openness in the relationship
Laid 'em on the line
Repeating the theme of taking risks and being open in the relationship
