I Surrender, Dear
Love's Redemption: Unveiling the Heartfelt Confession in 'I Surrender, Dear'
Lyrics
Pride, sad, splendid liar,
Pride is a deceptive and impressive but sorrowful quality.
Sworn enemy of love
Pride is portrayed as a sworn enemy of love, opposing its expression and growth.
Kept my lips from saying
His pride prevented him from vocalizing his true feelings.
Things I was thinking of.
He restrained himself from speaking about the thoughts he had.
But now my pride you've humbled,
His pride has been humbled, no longer a barrier.
I've cast it to the winds,
He has discarded his pride completely.
Broken, beaten, sick at heart
Feeling emotionally shattered, defeated, and disheartened.
My confession begins.
He is about to start confessing.
We've played the game of stay away
They played a game of avoiding each other, which had consequences.
But it cost more that I can pay.
The emotional toll of their avoidance was too high for him.
Without you I can't make my way,
He feels lost and unable to proceed without the person.
I surrender, dear.
He is expressing his surrender to the person he addresses.
I may seem proud, I may act gay,
(Repeated chorus indicating his surrender and deep feelings)
It's just a pose, I'm not that way,
-'Cause deep down in my heart I say
-I surrender, dear.
-Little mean things we were doing
-Must have been part of the game,
-Lending a spice to the wooing,
-But I don't care who's to blame.
-When stars appear and shadows fall,
-Why then you'll hear My poor heart call,
-To you my love, my life, my all
-I surrender, dear.
-We've played the game of stay away
-But it cost more that I can pay.
-Without you I can't make my way,
-I surrender, dear.
-I may seem proud, I may act gay,
-It's just a pose, I'm not that way,
-'Cause deep down in my heart I say
-I surrender, dear.
-Little mean things we were doing
-Must have been part of the game,
-Lending a spice to the wooing,
-But I don't care who's to blame.
-When stars appear And shadows fall,
-Why then you'll hear My poor heart call,
-To you my love, my life, my all
