Violets
Violets of Love Lost: A Tale of Longing and Loyalty
Lyrics
When I was just a little girl I thought I knew love
Reflecting on childhood innocence and early perceptions of love.
Was waiting for the world to show my one and true love
Anticipation of finding true love in the world.
And then I met the man that I am with today
Introduction of the current romantic partner.
It's only now I see we made a big mistake
Realization of a significant mistake in the relationship.
Ooh ah, he used to give me violets
Recollection of receiving violets as a romantic gesture.
But now he turns away and all I hear is silence
Shift in the partner's behavior, leading to silence.
Don't know what it means
Confusion about the partner's changed demeanor.
Oh why's he gotten so cold to me?
Expressing concern about the partner's emotional distance.
I think back on the time when I was his one and only
Nostalgia for a time when she felt exclusive in the relationship.
But lately, now I find, with him I get so lonely
Current feelings of loneliness despite being with the partner.
He'll never tell me what goes roaring through his mind
Frustration over the partner's unwillingness to communicate.
And so I lie awake and wait for him at night
Sleepless nights waiting for the partner's return.
Ooh ah, he'll promise me it's over
False promises of the relationship being over.
Ooh and I'll go on pretending I don't know her
Ignoring the presence of another person in the partner's life.
What else can I do?
A sense of helplessness, feeling stuck in the situation.
I'd die before I'd find somebody new
Commitment to the relationship despite the pain.
And all my friends, they tell me that I should pack it up and run away
Friends advising to leave the relationship for self-preservation.
But I don't think that they can really ever understand
Doubt that others can truly understand the complexities of her situation.
That he can be so kind, so sweet sometimes
Acknowledgment of the partner's occasional kindness.
oh, the words that he can say
Highlighting the impact of the partner's words on her emotions.
Besides, I know one day he'll come back to me again
Belief that the partner will eventually return.
Ooh ah, and so I will believe him
Maintaining faith in the partner's words and promises.
Because I know I'll never leave him
Commitment to never leave the partner despite challenges.
And I know I can't win
Recognition that winning is not the goal in this difficult relationship.
Oh, why do I do what I do for him?
Pondering the reasons behind the enduring commitment to the partner.
