Lyrics
My heart's walking on a thin line
Expressing vulnerability, feeling emotionally precarious.
A new love is coming on strong
A new, intense love is entering the speaker's life.
There comes a time
Indicating a crucial moment or decision in the speaker's life.
When you just gotta move on
Highlighting the necessity to move forward from a past relationship.
She never really understood me
Previous partner didn't understand the speaker.
She tried to take me for all I had
Describing an attempt to exploit the speaker emotionally or financially.
She left me with nothing but a heartache
Result of the failed relationship is a heartache.
A good love gone bad
Characterizing the past love as once good but now turned bad.
But you loved me like she never could
Contrasting the new love with the previous one, emphasizing its superiority.
It was a bad love, a bad love gone good
Describing the transformation of a negative past love into a positive one.
A bad moon's coming over my shoulder
Introducing a foreboding element, possibly indicating challenges ahead.
A good love in the pale blue night
Highlighting the contrast between a problematic past love and a promising new one.
I'm holding on to you in a brand new light
Expressing commitment and positivity in the new relationship.
I never knew what I was missing
Reflecting on the realization of what was lacking in the previous relationship.
Your love took me by surprise
Describing the unexpected nature of the new love.
Locked away inside her prison
Metaphorically portraying the confinement and limitations of the past relationship.
Till you opened my eyes
Recognition of personal growth and awakening brought by the new love.
But you loved me, like she never could
Reiterating the superior love received from the new partner.
It was a bad love, bad love gone good
Summarizing the transformation of a negative past love into a positive one.
She never really understood me
Repetition of the partner's lack of understanding from earlier in the lyrics.
She tried to take me for all I had
Reiteration of the attempt to exploit the speaker by the previous partner.
She left me with nothing but a heartache
Re-emphasizing the negative aftermath of the past relationship.
A good love gone bad
Reiterating the idea that a once good love has turned bad.
But you loved me like she never could
Affirmation of the exceptional love received from the current partner.
It was a bad love, a bad love gone good
Highlighting the positive transformation of the past love into a good one.
But you loved me like she never could
Reiteration of the exceptional love received compared to the past.
It was a bad love, a bad love gone good
Re-emphasizing the positive transformation of the past love into a good one.
A bad love gone good
Concluding the transformation from a bad love to a good one.
A bad love gone good
Repetition emphasizing the final positive state of the current love.
