Lyrics

Don't ask me

Expressing reluctance to answer or share something

What you know is true

Acknowledging a known truth

Don't have to tell you

Emphasizing that verbalizing love is unnecessary

I love your precious heart

Expressing deep affection for the partner's heart


I

Personal pronoun indicating the speaker's identity

I was standing

Recalling a moment of standing, possibly metaphorical

You were there

Partner's presence in the remembered moment

Two worlds collided

Describing a significant event where two worlds met

And they could never tear us apart

Asserting the strength of the relationship, implying it is unbreakable


We could live

Contemplating a long-lasting, enduring relationship

For a thousand years

Expressing the potential for a timeless connection

But if I hurt you

Acknowledging the possibility of causing emotional pain

I'd make wine from your tears

Metaphorically suggesting turning pain into something valuable

I told you

Reiterating a commitment not to cause harm

That we could fly

Expressing the belief in the possibility of achieving great things together

'Cause we all have wings

Metaphorically referring to human potential and aspirations

But some of us don't know why

Recognizing that not everyone understands their potential


I was standing

Recalling another moment of standing with the partner

You were there

Partner's presence in the second remembered moment

Two worlds collided

Reiteration of the significant collision of two worlds

And they could never ever tear us apart

Reasserting the indestructibility of the relationship


I (don't ask me)

Repetition of personal pronoun, emphasizing identity

I was standing (you know it's true)

Reiterating the previous moment of standing

Mm, you were there (worlds collided)

Reaffirming the partner's presence in the past

Two worlds collided (we're shining through)

Reiteration of the collision of two worlds and their enduring connection

And they could never tear us apart

Emphasizing the everlasting nature of their bond

You (don't ask me)

Shifting perspective to the partner

You were standing (you know it's true)

Partner's presence from their viewpoint

I was there (worlds collided)

Recalling the speaker's presence in the collision

Two worlds collided (we're shining through)

Reiteration of the enduring connection between two worlds

And they could never tear us apart

Reaffirming the unbreakable nature of their bond


I

Repeating the personal pronoun for emphasis

I was standing

Recalling yet another moment of standing with the partner

You were there

Confirming the partner's presence in the recalled moment

Two worlds collided

Final reiteration of the collision of two worlds and their enduring connection
