Once Was Love
Fading Echoes: Exploring Love's Aftermath in 'Once Was Love'
Lyrics
Don't delay, something tells me I gotta go away
Feeling the need to leave promptly.
Maybe it's the way we always stay when our hearts have gone
Describing a habitual staying pattern even when love fades.
We can't hold us anymore, no we've got to fold
Unable to sustain the relationship; must accept the end.
Down to the floor, yes I know it's cold but baby, our hearts have gone
Acknowledging the emotional chill after love's departure.
Just because there once was love
Repetition emphasizing that past love doesn't influence the present.
Don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
-Just because there once was love
-Don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
-Just because there once was love
-Don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
-Just because there once was love
-I gotta see if I'm filled up when it's only me
Checking personal fulfillment without relying on others.
It's not your fault but you just can't be here
Understanding that someone can't be there despite their innocence.
Now that my heart has gone, now that my heart has gone
Reflecting on the absence of love in the heart.
Now that my heart has gone
-Just because there once was love
Reiteration of the idea that past love holds no current significance.
Don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
-Just because there once was love
-Don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
-Just because there once was love
-Don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
-Just because there once was love
-Everyone is hurting now and everything is burning down
Amidst pain and destruction, expressing the ability to rebuild.
But I can build back my new town today
-Just because there once was love
Continued emphasis on the irrelevance of past love.
Don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
-Just because there once was love
-Don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
-Just because there once was love
-Don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
-Just because there once was love
-There once was love, there once was love
Repeating the idea that love existed in the past but is no longer relevant.
There once was love, there once was love
-There once was love, there once was love
-There once was love, there once was love
