Too Far Gone
Unraveling Love's Distance: Emmylou Harris's Too Far Gone Explained
Lyrics
I know that somewhere there's someone
Recognizing that there's someone else you love more than me.
You love more than me
Acknowledging the presence of a more significant love in your life.
Someone you love more than me
Reiterating the awareness of someone else being more important.
And I hate to say it
Expressing reluctance to admit the truth.
But you have a right to be free
Acknowledging your right to pursue freedom and happiness.
I know that's the way it should be
Understanding and accepting the natural order of things.
But I'm too far gone
Stating that the speaker is emotionally too far gone.
Too far gone
Repeating the sentiment of being too emotionally invested.
I've loved you so much for so long
Highlighting the depth and duration of the speaker's love.
And I'm too far gone
Reiterating the emotional distance that the speaker has reached.
If ever your new love
If the new love causes pain or sadness, offering support.
Should hurt you or make you feel blue
Describing potential negative emotions from the new love.
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Emphasizing the impact of the new love on emotions.
Just remember your old love
Assuring that the old love will persist and continue to love.
Will still be around loving you
Reaffirming the enduring nature of the speaker's love.
I'll be around loving you.
Repeating the commitment to remain in love and support.
'Cause I'm too far gone
Restating the emotional distance and inability to turn back.
Too far gone
Reiterating the sentiment of being too emotionally invested.
I've loved you so much for so long
Highlighting the depth and duration of the speaker's love.
And I'm too far gone
Reiterating the emotional distance that the speaker has reached.
