In Person
Heartbreak Unveiled: George Jones' 'In Person' Reveals Love's Silent Departure
Lyrics
You gave the heart you gave to me in person
You presented the love you had for me face-to-face.
You made the vows you made to me in person
You expressed the commitments and promises directly to me.
Then when your love has lost all its glow
When the affection in your love diminishes.
You said your friend to let me know
You instructed a friend to inform me about the fading love.
I wish you would have told me so in person
I wish you had personally communicated this revelation to me.
I placed my ring upon your hand in person
I symbolically sealed our commitment by placing a ring on your finger.
I should have got it back again in person
I should have retrieved the ring in person.
But so afraid my tears would start
Fearful of my emotional response, you delegated the task to a friend.
You said your friend to do your part
Your friend was asked to play a role in ending our relationship.
You really should have broke my heart in person
It would have been more considerate if you had directly conveyed the heartbreaking news.
If love is gone then I can't understand
If love has faded, it's challenging for me to comprehend.
But it hurts so much to hear it second hand
Learning about the end of our love through someone else is extremely painful.
I once appeared at your front door in person
I personally went to your doorstep on a previous occasion.
But I won't appear there anymore in person
I won't make that personal appearance anymore.
And though you send someone you knew
Despite your choice to send a messenger, it was someone familiar to you.
To tell me that our love was through
The message delivered was that our love had come to an end.
I know I'll still be missing you in person
Even though you're not physically present, the emotional absence is still felt.
I know I'll still be missing you in person
I anticipate that I will continue to miss you in person.
