At This Moment
Emotional Reflections: Love, Loss, and the Depths of Heartache
Lyrics
What did you think I would do at this moment
Contemplation of expected actions or reactions in this moment.
When you're standing before me
Addressing the presence of the person speaking to, noticing their emotional state.
With tears in your eyes
Acknowledging tears in the other person's eyes, indicating distress.
Trying to tell me that you have found you another
Revelation that the person has found someone else and doesn't love anymore.
And you just don't love me no more
Expressing the lack of love from the other person's side.
What did you think I would say at this moment
Anticipation of spoken words in this situation.
When I'm faced with the knowledge
Recognizing the truth that the other person doesn't love anymore.
That you just don't love me
Realization of the absence of love from the other.
Did you think I would curse you
Speculation on possible negative reactions like cursing or hurting.
Or say things to hurt you
Contemplation of expressing hurtful things due to rejection.
'Cause you just don't love me no more
Confirmation of the lack of love from the other person.
Did you think I could hate you
Consideration of feelings of hatred due to the situation.
Or raise my hands to you
Thoughts about physical aggression or violence.
Now come on you know me too well
Reassurance that the speaker wouldn't act in those ways.
How could I hurt you when darling I love you
Expressing love and the inability to harm the other despite the hurt.
And you know I'd never hurt you, whoa, oh
Reiteration of the commitment not to cause harm.
What do you think I would give at this moment
Consideration of what the speaker would sacrifice to regain love.
If you'd stay I'd subtract twenty years from my life
Expressing willingness to give up years of life to be with the person.
I'd fall down on my knees
Symbolic gesture of submission or deep emotional need.
Kiss the ground that you walk on
Expressing extreme admiration and reverence for the other person.
If I could just hold you again
Desire to have the person back, to hold them close once more.
I'd fall down on my knees
Repetition of the desire to submit or show deep emotional need.
Kiss the ground that you walk on baby
Repeated expression of admiration and deep respect.
If I could just hold you
Desperation to hold the person again.
If I, could just hold you
Reiteration of the longing to hold the person.
If I
Repetition of the desire to hold the person close.
If I could just hold you
Strong desire to embrace the person once more.
Again
Reiteration of the longing to hold the person again.
