Your Love Is What I Am
Poignant Revelations: Unveiling Love's Complexity in Boy George's Melody
Lyrics
You scare me sometimes,
You evoke fear in me at times.
'Cause you take my breath away.
Your presence is so overwhelming that it leaves me breathless.
Our love is measured
Our love is defined or judged by the foolish games we engage in.
By the foolish games we play.
Our relationship is characterized by games that lack wisdom or sense.
Don't talk of romance
Don't speak of romantic notions when there's violence or wrongdoing associated with you.
When there's blood upon your hands.
There is guilt or wrongdoing that stains your hands.
You can teach me nothing,
You have nothing to teach me because your love defines who I am.
'Cause your love is what I am.

Sweet blood of Jesus.

Let me cry into my tears.
Expressing a desire to cry in the face of deep emotional pain.
You're always leaving,
You consistently depart, and I bear the burden of your fears.
And I'm buying all your fear.
The speaker takes on the emotional weight or consequences of the other person's fears.
Now you're walking around,
Currently, you appear damaged or distressed like a fractured disciple.
Like some broken apostle.

Don't you know that regret is a poisonous thing?
Warning about the destructive nature of regret.
This is not a crucifixion.
Denial that the current situation is a form of crucifixion or extreme suffering.
