The More I Do
Love's Dilemma: The Struggle Within
Lyrics
Time and time again you told me
Repetition of assurance in love from the speaker's partner.
You love me through and through
Confirmation of unconditional love from the partner.
And day by day my heart gave into you
Gradual surrender of the speaker's heart to the partner's love.
I must have lost my senses
Expression of a realization that the speaker may have become vulnerable.
Along with my defenses
Acknowledgment of losing the ability to protect oneself emotionally.
I'm losing you what am I gonna do
Conveyance of the speaker's fear of losing the partner.
Cause the more I do the more you don't
Reflecting on the diminishing reciprocity in the relationship.
You'd think I'd learn but I guess I won't
Expressing a sense of difficulty in learning from past experiences.
I'm passed the point of no
Realization that a point of irreversible change has been reached.
Return I should have known
Regret for not recognizing signs of trouble earlier.
Cause the more I do the more you don't
Reiteration of the increasing asymmetry in the relationship.
More and more I get the feeling
Growing suspicion of diminishing love from the partner.
You love me less and less
Recognition of a decline in the intensity of the partner's love.
I've tried and tried but
Efforts to communicate and connect seem ineffective.
I'm not getting through
Feeling of emotional distance in the relationship.
Somewhere along the line your heart
Belief that the partner's feelings have changed over time.
Has changed it's mind
Realization that the partner's heart has shifted its stance.
I'm in love with you what am I gonna do
Despite challenges, the speaker remains committed to the partner.
Cause the more I do the more you don't
Reiteration of the increasing imbalance in the relationship.
You'd think I'd learn but I guess I won't
Expressing difficulty in learning from past mistakes.
I'm passed the point of no
Acknowledgment of reaching a point of no return.
Return I should have known
Regret for not recognizing warning signs earlier.
Cause the more I do the more you don't
Repetition of the growing asymmetry in the relationship.
For the more I do the more you don't
Final recognition of the increasing lack of reciprocity in the relationship.
