Good Love Died Tonight
When Forever Fades: Unraveling the Heartbreak in Conway Twitty's Melody
Lyrics
To him it may be over
To him, the relationship may be over.
But for her it'll be one day at a time
For her, coping with the end will be a gradual process, taking it one day at a time.
He may call it freedom
He perceives it as freedom, but she still holds onto memories of him in her mind.
But to her he's still locked inside her mind
Despite his sense of freedom, she feels he is emotionally trapped in her thoughts.
You can throw away love's golden pen
Dismissing love as if discarding a valuable tool.
'Cause that's all she wrote
Expressing that the relationship has concluded, and there's nothing more to be said.
The fire of love they kindled
The love they once had is now extinguished.
Has all gone up in smoke
The passion they shared has disappeared completely.
What a shame, what a sight
Regretting the loss and expressing sorrow for the situation.
A good love died tonight.
Summing up the sadness and acknowledging the end of a good love.
To him it's just and ending
From his perspective, it's just the conclusion of something.
But to her the pain's beginning to start
For her, the pain is just beginning as the reality of the breakup sets in.
For him it's just a walk away
He sees it as a simple departure.
But for her it's a breaking heart
But for her, it's a heart-wrenching experience.
One goodbye and lots of tears
The final goodbye leaves her with abundant tears.
Are all she has left to show
All that remains for her to show from their seven-year relationship.
For those seven years
Reflecting on the time that has abruptly ended.
That just walked out the door
Expressing the departure of dreams as the relationship ends.
A lot of dreams lost their lives when
Highlighting the loss of dreams as a significant consequence.
A good love died tonight.
Reiterating the sorrowful conclusion of a once-good love.
They were headed for forever
They had envisioned a lasting relationship.
When the hope that they were riding left the track
Their hope for a future together has derailed.
All the pleading and believing in the world
Efforts and faith won't revive the lost emotions.
Won't bring the feeling back
Highlighting the irreversibility of the emotional detachment.
You can throw away love's golden pen
Love is now deemed useless and discarded.
'Cause that's all she wrote
Reiterating that the fire of their love has vanished.
The fire of love they kindled
The passion they once shared is no more.
Has all gone up in smoke
The intensity of their love has turned to ashes.
What a shame, what a sight
Expressing regret and sadness for the concluded love.
A good love died tonight.
Summing up the unfortunate demise of their good love.
What a shame, what a sight
Reiterating the sadness and loss of a good love.
A good love died tonight...
Emphasizing the finality of the love's demise.
