What Did Love Ever Do to You
Unraveling Love's Pain: Hank Williams III's Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
Some day you'll find out what it means to be blue
Expressing that experiencing sadness or melancholy is inevitable in life.
'cause everybody pays for the things that they do
Highlighting the universal concept that everyone faces consequences for their actions.
You broke something precious, sacred and true
Accusing someone of damaging something valuable, sacred, and genuine.
Darlin', what did love ever do to you
Pleading with the question of what harm love has done to the person.
I still can't believe what I'm feelin'
Expressing disbelief or shock about the emotions being felt.
As my heart turns slowly to stone
Describing a hardening of emotions, possibly due to pain or heartbreak.
I'm staring a hole through the ceiling
Symbolizing intense contemplation or emotional distress.
The memory of your leaving won't let go
Emphasizing the difficulty of forgetting the departure of a loved one.
Oh, some day you'll find out what it means to be blue
Reiterating the idea that experiencing sadness is inevitable.
'cause everybody pays for the things that they do
Reinforcing the concept that everyone faces consequences for their actions.
You broke something precious, sacred and true
Repeating the accusation of breaking something valuable, sacred, and genuine.
Darlin', what did love ever do to you
Repeating the question about the negative impact of love.
Your words built the walls of this prison
Describing how the person's words have created emotional confinement.
And like a fool I'm doin' time for you
Expressing a sense of foolishness for enduring hardships on behalf of the person.
I searched through my mind for a reason
Conveying the attempt to find a rational explanation for the departure.
But when you left, you left me without a clue
Expressing confusion and being left without understanding after the departure.
Some day you'll find out what it means to be blue
Reiterating the inevitability of experiencing sadness or melancholy.
'cause everybody pays for the things that they do
Reinforcing the idea that everyone faces consequences for their actions.
You broke something precious, sacred and true
Repeating the accusation of breaking something valuable, sacred, and genuine.
Darlin', what did love ever do to you
Repeating the question about the negative impact of love.
You broke something precious, sacred and true
Reiterating the accusation of damaging something valuable, sacred, and genuine.
Darlin', what did love ever do to you
Repeating the plea questioning what harm love has done to the person.
