Confession
Unspoken Longings: A Heart's Confession
Lyrics
Dear love
Expressing affection, addressing the person as "dear love."
There's something that I've kept inside for so long
Revealing a long-held secret or emotion that has been kept inside.
You're so fine
Complimenting the person, possibly the subject of the confession.
I've loved you since that first dance at the party
Expressing love since the first dance at a party, indicating a significant moment in their history.
And your eyes
Focusing on the attractiveness of the person's eyes.
Your eyes can make me so much lighter...
Describing the transformative and uplifting effect of the person's eyes.
And everything is good
Expressing general contentment and positivity.
Everything is beautiful
Emphasizing the overall beauty and goodness in their relationship.
Your family adores me, but
Acknowledging acceptance from the family but hinting at a lack of passion.
I don't feel the passion any more
Admitting a diminished passion in the relationship.
Dear love
Repeating the address to "dear love."
I remember that we thought about moving in together
Recalling a shared consideration of moving in together.
I cried
Expressing emotional conflict, crying, and uncertainty about the decision.
I don't know whether I was glad or maybe sad
Reflecting on mixed emotions, unsure whether gladness or sadness prevailed.
And everyone
Noting public admiration for the couple's beauty.
That looked at us, said what a beautiful couple
Highlighting positive perceptions of the relationship.
And everything is fine
Reiterating the general goodness and wonder of the relationship.
Everything is wonderful
Stating inner doubts about the connection, specifically regarding children.
But I know deep inside me that
Expressing a deeper internal conflict regarding family and connection.
I can't find my children's eyes in yours...
Feeling a disconnect between the speaker's children and the addressed person's eyes.
Going down
Using descending imagery, expressing a sense of emotional descent.
I feel that my heart's crawling
Feeling emotional vulnerability and fragility.
On the ground
Expressing a lack of constant strength in the speaker.
I may not be the one who's always strong
Acknowledging that the speaker may not always be the emotionally strong one.
To keep our love alive
Desiring to keep the love alive despite emotional challenges.
Dear love
Recalling a confusing day and confessing a misleading statement.
Remember the day that I came home confused
Reflecting on a day when the speaker felt lost or uncertain.
I said
Recalling a statement about having nothing on the mind, which was untrue.
That nothing is on my mind
Indicating a significant encounter with another person that impacted the speaker.
But it wasn't true
Admitting falsehood about having nothing on the mind.
That day, I met a boy that changed my world
Revealing the introduction of a new person who changed the speaker's world.
And everything is wrong
Expressing a sense of everything being wrong and upside down.
Everything is upside down
Acknowledging the turmoil and chaos in the speaker's emotional state.
I'm in love with another but
Admitting being in love with another person.
I try hard not to lose my mind
Struggling to maintain composure and sanity despite the emotional turmoil.
Going down
Repeating the descending imagery, emphasizing emotional descent.
I feel that my heart's crawling
Reiterating the feeling of a crawling heart on the ground.
On the ground
Acknowledging vulnerability and a lack of constant emotional strength.
I may not be the one who's always strong
Expressing the difficulty of keeping the love alive.
To keep our love alive
Acknowledging the speaker's limitation in being the always strong one in the relationship.
