Teardrops
Echoes of Lost Love: Teardrops by Elton John & k.d. lang
Lyrics
Whenever I hear good-bye
Reflecting on goodbyes evokes memories of the person being addressed.
Reminds me, baby, of you
The act of saying goodbye brings the person to mind.
I break down and cry
The speaker experiences emotional breakdowns and tears when thinking about goodbyes.
The next time I'll be true, yeah
Expressing a commitment to be true in future interactions.
Fever for lost romance
Longing for a past romantic connection that has been lost.
Reminds me, baby, of you
The feeling of fever is associated with memories of the person.
I took a crazy chance
Taking a daring and unconventional risk in the name of love.
The next time I'll be true, I'll be true
Reiterating the commitment to truthfulness in future interactions.
Footsteps on the dance floor
Noticing footsteps on the dance floor triggers thoughts of the person.
Remind me, baby, of you
Similar to line 2, dance floor experiences connect to the person.
Teardrops in my eyes
The presence of teardrops signifies the emotional impact of memories.
Next time I'll be true, yeah
Committing to being true in future interactions, repeating the theme.
Whispers in the back room
Whispers in private settings evoke strong emotions related to the person.
She cries on every tune, every tune
Describing someone crying in response to every musical tune.
And the music don't feel like it did
Expressing a sense of loss, as the music doesn't hold the same meaning without the person.
When I felt it with you
Comparing the current experience of music to the past when shared with the person.
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels
Nothing in the speaker's actions or emotions matches the intensity of past experiences with the person.
Like I felt it with you
Reiterating the profound impact of past experiences with the person.
When I'm dancing round
Dancing triggers memories of the person, repeating the theme of connection to dance.
Reminds me, baby, of you
Committing not to disappoint or betray in future interactions.
I won't let you down
Expressing determination to be true, echoing the earlier commitment.
The next time I'll be true, I'll be true
Reiterating the commitment to truthfulness in future interactions.
