Another Love
Unspoken Desires: A Journey of Love and Loss in 'Another Love'
Lyrics
I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care
I want to take you somewhere to demonstrate my care
But it's so cold and I don't know where
The environment is emotionally distant, and I'm unsure where to go
I brought you daffodils on a pretty string
I gave you daffodils in an attractive arrangement
But they won't flower like they did last spring
However, they won't bloom as they did in the past spring
And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright
I desire to kiss you and make you feel better
I'm just so tired to share my nights
I am too exhausted to share my nights
I wanna cry and I wanna love
I have conflicting emotions—wanting to cry and wanting to love
But all my tears have been used up
All my tears have been exhausted
On another love, another love
Alluding to using tears on a past love
All my tears have been used up
Reiteration that tears have been used up on another love
On another love, another love
Continuing to emphasize tears spent on a previous love
All my tears have been used up
Repetition, underscoring the exhaustion of tears on another love
On another love, another love
Highlighting emotional depletion on yet another love
All my tears have been used up
Emphasizing the complete use of tears on past loves
And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight
If someone harms you, I want to defend you
But my hand's been broken, one too many times
My ability to physically defend is compromised due to repeated injuries
So I use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude
Resorting to using words, acknowledging their power, but foreseeing defeat
Words: they always win, but I know I'll lose
Acknowledging the power of words but anticipating losing the battle
And I'd sing a song, that'd be just ours
I would create a song just for us
But I sang 'em all to another heart
Regret for singing those special songs to another person
And I wanna cry I wanna learn to love
Expressing the desire to cry and to learn to love
But all my tears have been used up
Reiteration of tears being used up on another love
On another love, another love
Repeated emphasis on tears being exhausted on a different love
All my tears have been used up
Underlining the complete depletion of tears on another love
On another love, another love
Continuing to stress the emotional exhaustion from another love
All my tears have been used up
Reiteration of tears being completely used up on a past love
On another love, another love
Highlighting the emotional bankruptcy due to another love
All my tears have been used up
Underscoring the emotional emptiness from past loves
(Oh, need a love, now, my heart is thinking of)
Expressing the need for love, with the heart yearning

I wanna sing a song that'll be just ours
Desire to create a song exclusively for the current relationship
But I sang 'em all to another heart
Regret for singing those songs to someone else
And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love
Expressing the desire to cry and fall in love
But all my tears have been used up
Reiteration of tears being used up on another love
On another love, another love
Repeating the emotional exhaustion from another love
All my tears have been used up
Emphasizing the complete use of tears on past loves
On another love, another love
Reiteration of tears being exhausted on a different love
All my tears have been used up
Underlining the emotional depletion from another love
On another love, another love
Continuing to stress the emotional bankruptcy due to another love
All my tears have been used up
Reiteration of the complete depletion of tears on another love
