A Different Corner
Love's Fragile Dance: A Different Corner by Ann Wilson Unveiled
Lyrics
I'd say love was a magical thing
Love is perceived as a magical and powerful force.
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Love is expected to shield individuals from pain and suffering.
Had I been there, had I been there
Expressing a sense of regret or longing for not being present in a specific situation related to love.
I would promise you all of my life
A commitment to dedicate one's entire life to a loved one.
But to lose you would cut like a knife
The intense emotional pain that would result from losing the loved one.
So I don't dare, no I don't dare
Expressing hesitation or fear in taking such a significant risk in love.
'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
Conveying a lack of previous experiences that come close to the depth of the current emotions.
You are the only one to stop my tears
The loved one is the only one capable of stopping the speaker's tears, emphasizing their importance.
And I'm so scared, I'm so scared
Expressing fear and vulnerability in the face of such intense emotions.
Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Expressing a desire to go back in time to escape the pain associated with the present moment.
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Suggesting that a different choice or path could have prevented the meeting with the source of emotional pain.
Would you care
Questioning whether the other person would care about the speaker's predicament.
I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
Expressing confusion and disbelief about the ease with which the other person handles the situation.
Little by little you've brought me to my knees
Gradual emotional impact, with the other person bringing the speaker to a vulnerable state.
Don't you care
Expressing doubt about whether the other person cares about the speaker's emotional state.
No, I've never come close in all of these years
Reiterating the lack of comparable emotional experiences over the years.
You are the only one to stop my tears
Highlighting the unique ability of the loved one to console and bring an end to the speaker's tears.
And I'm so scared of this love
Expressing fear specifically related to the intensity of the love being experienced.
And if all that there is is this fear of being used
Contemplating the fear of being used as the only reality in the absence of the current emotional turmoil.
I should go back to being lonely and confused
Considering a return to a state of loneliness and confusion to avoid the fear associated with love.
If I could, I would, I swear
An expression of commitment to return to a state of loneliness if possible.
If I could, I would, I swear
A repeated affirmation of the speaker's commitment to return to loneliness if given the choice.
