Love on the Line
Confessions of Love and Guilt: Gretchen Wilson's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Woke up cryin' with pictures of you in my head
Waking up with emotional pain and memories of a person in the mind.
Lyin' next to the thing that you don't know I did
Lying beside something undisclosed to the partner.
I could tell on myself but I don't think that
Considering confessing, but unsure if the courage is there.
I have the nerve
Expressing reluctance or fear to admit a mistake.
If I lose you I know that It's what I deserve
Accepting that losing the partner would be a deserved consequence.
In a way I'm glad that my guilt keeps
Feeling a sense of relief that guilt acts as a reminder.
Fallin' on me like rain
Comparing guilt to rain, emphasizing its constant presence.
And at the same time
Simultaneously experiencing conflicting emotions about guilt.
I can't help but wonderin' why
Questioning the reasons behind putting love at risk.
I put your love on the line
Acknowledging the act of risking the relationship.
I could stop but the truth is
Contemplating stopping the questionable actions but feeling unsure.
I don't think I can
Expressing doubt about the ability to halt the behavior.
It's not somethin' I wanted
Admitting that the situation is not intentional or desired.
Or somethin' I planned
Clarifying that the actions were not planned.
Boy I love you I need you
Affirming love, need, and desire for the partner.
I want you to stay
Expressing the wish for the partner to stay despite secrets.
I keep my secrets to keep you from walkin' away
Keeping secrets as a strategy to prevent the partner from leaving.
In a way I'm glad that my guilt keeps
Reiterating the conflicted emotions regarding guilt.
Fallin' on me like rain
Comparing guilt to rain, emphasizing its constant presence.
At the same time
Simultaneously experiencing conflicting emotions about guilt.
I can't help but wonderin' why
Questioning the reasons behind putting love at risk.
I put your love on the line
Acknowledging the act of risking the relationship.
In a way I'm glad that my guilt keeps
Reiterating the conflicted emotions regarding guilt.
Fallin' on me like rain
Comparing guilt to rain, emphasizing its constant presence.
At the same time
Simultaneously experiencing conflicting emotions about guilt.
I can't help but wonderin' why
Questioning the reasons behind putting love at risk.
I put your love on the line
Acknowledging the act of risking the relationship.
Put your love on the line
Encouraging the partner to put their love on the line.
put your love on the
Repeating the plea to put love on the line.
Put your love on the
-Put your love on the line
