Little by Little
Unraveling Love: Gene Watson's Melodic Tale of Heartbreak
Lyrics
Little by little, round by round
Gradually, step by step, in a successive manner
We've been caught in the middle
Caught in a difficult situation or conflict
Two hearts breakin? down
Two hearts are experiencing a breakdown or emotional turmoil
We've been fightin? each other
Engaged in a conflict or disagreement with one another
With our backs to the wall
Facing challenges or adversity with limited options
And little by little, we're losin? it all
Slowly losing everything as the situation worsens
We saw it comin?, the end of the line
Awareness of the approaching end or conclusion
We've been hurting each other, time after time
Repeatedly causing pain or harm to each other
Over and over, we ignored what we saw
Continuously neglecting evident issues or problems
And little by little we're losin? it all
The gradual loss is ongoing and becoming more pronounced
Your fault or my fault, nobody cares
Indifference to assigning blame, as it doesn't matter anymore
It no longer matters, there's just nothing there
The relationship has lost its significance or emotional content
But a few tiny pieces waiting to fall
Only a few remaining fragments of the relationship are left
And little by little we're losin' it all
The gradual loss continues with small pieces falling apart
We saw it comin?, the end of the line
Reiteration of the awareness of the impending end
We've been hurting each other, time after time
Continued infliction of pain or damage over time
Over and over, we ignored what we saw
Repetitive ignorance of evident problems or signals
And little by little we're losin? it all
The ongoing process of losing everything is emphasized
