Did You Have a Love Before Me
Unveiling Secrets: Love Before Me
Lyrics
When we first moved in together
Reflecting on the beginning of cohabitation
You said you were not the marryin' kind
Partner initially expressed reluctance towards marriage
So I'll ask you now, about what I've just found
Asking about a discovery and seeking clarification
And why I can't put it out of my mind, can't put it out of my mind
Expressing difficulty forgetting the discovered information
I saw the wedding dress in your closet
Noticing a wedding dress in the partner's closet
Did you forget it was there?
Questioning if the partner forgot about the dress
The tag, it still hung, and when I tried it on
Describing the dress still having a tag, trying it on
It was not in a size I could wear, no, not in a size I could wear
Realizing the dress doesn't fit, emphasizing the size issue
Did you have a love before me? Did you ask her to stay?
Querying about the partner's previous love and commitment
Did she leave you lonely? Or was it you who walked away?
Exploring whether the past love left or if the partner ended it
I know I'll end up staying, it's been too long to leave
Committing to staying despite uncertainties
Imagine me on my own out there, he's taken care of me
Anticipating difficulties if alone, acknowledging dependence
Who hung the dress in your closet?
Inquiring about the intention behind the dress in the closet
Were you planning to wed?
Questioning if there were wedding plans
How long has it been, or have you even seen
Asking about the duration of the undisclosed secret
This secret of organdy? Of lace and of organdy
Describing the hidden secret as delicate fabric
I could not stop once I'd started
Unable to resist further investigation after starting
I found more secrets inside
Discovering additional secrets inside a tucked-away box
A box tucked away behind the layers of lace
Speculating on the purpose of the hidden box
It could have held all the tears that I cried, held all the tears that I cried
Suggesting the box may have contained tears
Did you have a love before me? Did you ask her to stay?
Repeating the inquiry about the partner's past love
Did she leave you lonely? Or was it you who walked away?
Repeating exploration of the previous love's departure
I know I'll end up staying, it's been too long to leave
Reiterating commitment to stay despite uncertainties
Imagine me on my own out there, my name was never on the lease
Envisioning challenges if alone and not on the lease
Imagine me on my own out there, he's taken care of me
Reiterating dependence on the partner's care if alone
