That's All There Is to That
Unyielding Heartache: Acceptance Amidst Love's Departure
Lyrics
Did you ever watch the one you love
Expressing the experience of observing a loved one drifting away.
Slowly drifting away from you
Describing the gradual separation from the person you love.
And you know deep in your heart
Acknowledging the painful realization in the heart that the situation is beyond control.
There is nothing that you can do
Conveying a sense of helplessness, where nothing can be done to prevent the drift.
To make her stay
Expressing the desire to take actions to make the loved one stay.
(To make her stay)
Repeating the theme of trying to keep the loved one from leaving.
To turn the tide
Yearning for a reversal of the situation, trying to turn the tide of the separation.
(To turn the tide)
Reiterating the hope to change the direction of the relationship.
To ease the pain
Expressing the emotional pain and the desire to alleviate it.
(To ease the pain)
Repeating the intention to ease the internal suffering caused by the separation.
That you feel down inside?
Acknowledging the deep emotional turmoil experienced.
When her eyes, say it's over and done
Referring to the moment when the loved one's eyes communicate that the relationship is over.
Then you simply must face the fact
Accepting the reality and facing the fact that the relationship has ended.
So you leave and think it over
Describing the act of leaving to contemplate the situation.
But you come hurrying back
Despite leaving, there's a sense of urgency in returning quickly.
Hoping she'll change her mind
Expressing hope that the loved one might reconsider and change their mind.
Praying she'll take you back
Praying for reconciliation and the loved one accepting you back into their life.
But like the lady said
Quoting a lady's statement, suggesting acceptance of the inevitable.
"That's all there is to that"
Reiterating the finality of the situation as stated by the lady.
(When her eyes, say it's over and done)
Repeating the description of the moment when the relationship is declared over.
(Then you simply must face the fact)
Reiterating the need to face the reality of the relationship's conclusion.
So you leave and think it over
Repeating the act of leaving and contemplating the situation.
But you come hurrying back
Repeating the hope for a change of heart and a desire to come back.
Hoping she'll change her mind
Expressing the continued hope for a change in the loved one's decision.
Praying she'll take you back
Reiterating the prayer for the loved one to accept you back into their life.
But like the lady said
Quoting the lady's statement again, emphasizing the finality of the situation.
