Still Got the Blues
Echoes of Love and Loss: Eric Clapton's Timeless Melody
Lyrics
It used to be so easy, give my heart away
Expressing how easy it once was to give away their heart.
I found out the hard way
Realizing the difficulty and challenges faced in relationships.
There's a price I have to pay
Acknowledging a cost or consequence associated with love.
I found in that love is no friend of mine
Discovering that love has not been a positive force in their life.
I should have known better, time after time
Regretting not learning from past experiences of heartbreak.
It was so long, so long ago
Reflecting on a distant past, suggesting the enduring nature of the emotions.
But I've still got the blues for you
Despite the time passed, still feeling a deep emotional connection and sadness for a lost love.
It used to be so easy, fall in love again
Recalling the ease of falling in love in the past.
I found out the hard way
Learning through difficult experiences that love can lead to pain.
It's a road that leads to pain
Describing the painful path associated with love.
I found then that love was more than just a game
Realizing that love is more profound than just a playful game.
I was playin' to win
Engaging in love with the intention to win, but facing the pain of losing.
But losin' just the same
Experiencing the pain of loss despite the initial intent to win in love.
It was so long, so long ago
Reiterating the distant past and the enduring nature of emotional pain.
But I've still got the blues for you
Despite the passage of time, the emotional connection and sadness persist.
So many years since I've seen your face
Expressing the long duration since the person has been seen, emphasizing the emptiness in the heart.
Here in my heart there's an empty space
Describing a void within the heart due to the absence of the person.
Where you used to be
Specifically highlighting the space where the person used to reside emotionally.
Well, it was so long, so long ago
Reiterating the passage of time, emphasizing the enduring nature of emotional pain.
But I've still got the blues for you
Despite the temporal distance, the emotional connection and sadness persist.
Though the days come and go
Acknowledging the passing of days but affirming the enduring emotion of longing for the lost love.
There is one thing I know
Expressing a certainty about still harboring feelings of sadness for the person.
I've still got the blues for you
Affirming the enduring presence of the blues, signifying sadness or melancholy, for the person.
