Love's Bruises: A Tale of Enduring Passion
Lyrics
You say, "I love you boy"
You express love, but the narrator believes it to be insincere
But I know you lie
The narrator is aware of your dishonesty
I trust you all the same
Despite the lies, the narrator still trusts you
I don't know why
The narrator is uncertain about the reason for this trust
'Cause when my back is turned
When the narrator is not looking, the wounds or problems become visible
My bruises shine
The scars or issues are apparent when not actively hiding them
Our broken fairytale
Describes a broken fairytale, a relationship facing challenges
So hard to hide
Difficulty in concealing the problems in the relationship
I still believe
The narrator still has faith in the relationship
It's you and me 'til the end of time
Belief that the relationship will endure
When we collide we come together
When conflicts arise, the couple comes together
If we don't we'll always be apart
If conflicts persist, the couple will remain separated
I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it
The narrator is willing to endure pain for the worth of the relationship
When you hit me, hit me hard
Acceptance of hardship within the relationship
Sitting in a wishing hole
Metaphorically sitting in a place of hope, wanting to avoid emotional turmoil
Hoping it stays dry
Wishing for stability and avoiding emotional distress
Feet cast in solid stone
Feeling stuck or unmoving, possibly due to emotional weight
I got Gilligan's eyes
Reference to having eyes similar to Gilligan, suggesting vulnerability
I still believe
Reiteration of the narrator's enduring belief in the relationship
It's you and me 'til the end of time
Confidence in the lasting nature of the relationship
When we collide we come together
Unity in times of collision or conflict
If we don't we'll always be apart
Potential separation if conflicts persist
I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it
Willingness to endure pain for the sake of the relationship
When you hit me, hit me hard
Acceptance of intense challenges within the relationship
'Cause you said love
Referring to your statement about love
Was letting us go against what
Contrasting the idea of love with letting go, questioning the future
Our future is for
Uncertainty about what the future holds for the relationship
Many of horror
Emphasizing the horror or difficulty in the relationship
Our future is for
Repetition for emphasis on the challenging nature of the relationship
Many of horror
I still believe
Confidence in the lasting nature of the relationship
It's you and me 'til the end of time
When we collide we come together
Potential separation if conflicts persist
If we don't we'll always be apart
Willingness to endure pain for the sake of the relationship
I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it
Acceptance of intense challenges within the relationship
When you hit me, hit me hard
