Do It Again
Love's Unyielding Cycle: Embracing Heartbreak and Yearning
Lyrics
So you got what you want out of me
Feeling used, the speaker gave what was desired but was not acknowledged with a farewell.
Took me for the ride but you never bothered saying goodbye
The speaker was taken on a journey without a proper goodbye, leaving a sense of abandonment.
No return, I burn
After the experience, there is no reciprocation, only emotional pain for the speaker.
Everything you learned put me in detention
What the speaker provided led to negative consequences, possibly referring to a troubled relationship.
Now you’ve got so much attention from me
The other person now receives significant attention from the speaker, despite the past difficulties.
But I’d do it again
Despite the hardships, the speaker expresses a willingness to go through it again.
'Cause when she starts leaving
Describing the emotional impact of the person leaving.
My heart stops beating once again
The departure of the person causes the speaker's heart to stop beating metaphorically.
And when she starts waving,
The act of waving goodbye triggers emotional pain for the speaker.
My heart starts breaking up again
The departure results in the speaker's heart breaking once again.
But I’d do it again
Despite the pain, the speaker is open to experiencing it again.
So I got what I want out of you but I choose to keep real close
The speaker, in turn, obtains what they desire but keeps it discreet.
Keep it so nobody knows
Maintaining secrecy about the acquired desire.
What I have, is all that I have
Emphasizing the importance of what the speaker possesses.
And I’m so afraid of losing,
Expressing fear of losing what is held dear.
And I'm so afraid of bruising
Fear of emotional harm, indicating vulnerability.
'Cause I’ve been here before but I still want more and I’d do it again, I’d do it again
Despite past challenges, the speaker desires more and is willing to go through it again.
'Cause when she starts leaving
Repetition of the emotional impact when the person leaves.
My heart stops beating once again
Recurrence of the speaker's heart metaphorically stopping when the person leaves.
And when she starts waving,
Repetition of the emotional pain triggered by the person waving goodbye.
My heart starts breaking up again
Repetition of the heartbreak caused by the departure.
But I’d do it again
Despite the repeated pain, the speaker is open to experiencing it again.
'Cause when she starts leaving
Reiteration of the emotional impact of the person leaving.
My heart stops beating once again
Reiteration of the metaphorical stopping of the speaker's heart when the person leaves.
And when she starts waving,
Repetition of the emotional pain triggered by the person waving goodbye.
My heart starts breaking up again
Repetition of the heartbreak caused by the departure.
But I’d do it again
Despite the recurring pain, the speaker is open to experiencing it again.
