Since I Fell For You
Love's Painful Echo: Since I Fell For You by Hank Crawford
Lyrics
When you just give love
Expressing the act of giving love.
And never get love
Not receiving love in return.
You'd better let love depart
Suggesting that it's better to let go of love under these circumstances.
I know it's so, and yet I know
Acknowledging the reality of the situation.
I can't get you out of my heart
Despite knowing this, unable to forget the person.
You made me leave my happy home
Blaming the person for making the speaker leave a previously happy home.
You took my love and now you're gone
Accusing the person of taking the speaker's love and leaving.
Since I fell for you
Expressing the emotional impact of falling in love with the person.
Love brings such misery and pain
Reflecting on the misery and pain that love has brought.
I guess I'll never be the same
Accepting that the speaker may never be the same again.
Since I fell for you
Reiterating the emotional consequences of falling for the person.
Well, it's too bad
Expressing regret and sadness about the situation.
And it's too sad
Emphasizing the unfortunate nature of the circumstances.
But I'm in love with you
Despite the pain, confessing love for the person.
You love me, then you snub me
Noting the inconsistency of being loved and then rejected.
But what can I do?
Feeling helpless in the face of this situation.
I'm so in love with you
Reiterating strong feelings of love despite the difficulties.
I guess I'll never see the light
Expressing doubt about ever finding happiness or clarity.
I get the blues most every night
Experiencing a persistent sense of sadness every night.
Since I fell for you
Linking the ongoing blues and emotional turmoil to falling in love.
Since I fell for you
Reiterating the lasting impact of falling for the person.
