The Bigger the Love
Heartbreak Symphony: Unveiling the Depths of Love's Demise
Lyrics
Written by Billy Burnette and Mentor Williams.
Introduction: Credits to Billy Burnette and Mentor Williams for writing the song.
There goes my baby walkin' out the door
The narrator observes their partner leaving.
I never cried a bigger tear before
Expressing intense sorrow, shedding a significant tear for the first time.
You don't know 'til it breaks
Realization that one doesn't comprehend the extent of heartbreak until it happens.
How much a heart can take
Highlighting the capacity of the heart to endure pain.
You don't know pain until it burns inside
Describing emotional pain as a burning sensation within.
I should have picked on a love my own size
Regretting choosing a love that proved to be too overwhelming.
How could a love so strong
Questioning how a seemingly strong love could go awry.
Turn out to be so wrong
Expressing disappointment in a love that turned out to be incorrect.
The bigger the love the harder the fall
Stating a general truth: the larger the love, the more challenging the fall.
When I lost your love I lost it all
Personalizing the idea that losing this love means losing everything.
I never hit the ground
Emphasizing the impact of losing the love without hitting the ground, possibly metaphorical.
Until you shot me down
Linking the act of being shot down to the emotional descent from losing love.
The bigger the love the harder the fall
Reiterating the idea that a bigger love leads to a more significant emotional fall.
If I had known you'd be too much for me
If the narrator knew the emotional toll, they might have kept the love as a fantasy.
I would have kept you as my fantasy
Suggesting an idealized version of the love that would be more manageable.
To get you off my mind I'm gonna need some time
Needing time to overcome the intense emotions and thoughts associated with the lost love.
The bigger the love the harder the fall
Repeating the refrain about the challenging nature of a substantial love.
When I lost your love I lost it all
Reiterating the personal loss of everything when the love is gone.
I never hit the ground until you shot me down
Emphasizing the impact of losing love without a gradual descent.
The bigger the love the harder the fall
Repeating the refrain to underscore the correlation between love's size and the difficulty of its loss.
The bigger the love the harder the fall
Continuing to stress the relationship between the magnitude of love and the severity of the fall.
When I lost your love I lost it all
Personalizing the experience of losing everything with the departure of the loved one.
I never hit the ground until you shot me down
Highlighting the emotional impact of being shot down by the loss of love.
The bigger the love the harder the fall
Repeating the refrain for emphasis on the theme of love's size and its aftermath.
