Long, Long Time
Longing for Love: A Tale of Unrequited Devotion
Lyrics
Love will abide, take things in stride
Love is enduring and should be faced with resilience.
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
The advice to handle love calmly is difficult because there is no support or companion.
And time washes clean, love wounds unseen
Time heals emotional wounds that are not visible, but the speaker is uncertain about this concept.
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means
The speaker is skeptical of the advice received about the healing power of time in love.
'Cause I've done everything I know try and make you mine
The speaker has tried everything to win the person's love.
And I think I'm gonna love for a long, long time
Despite efforts, the speaker believes their love will endure for a significant duration.
Caught in my fears, blinking back the tears
The speaker is trapped in fears, holding back tears, and unable to express the pain caused by the person.
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
The speaker denies being hurt, emphasizing the lack of closeness due to the person's avoidance.
And I never drew one response from you
No positive reaction or acknowledgment is received from the person despite the speaker's efforts.
All the while you fell over, the girls you never knew
The person is oblivious to the speaker's struggles and is involved with others.
'Cause I've done everything I know try and make you mine
Continued efforts by the speaker to win the person's love.
And I think It's gonna hurt me for a long, long time
The speaker anticipates prolonged emotional pain from their unrequited love.
Wait for the day you go away
Waiting for the inevitable departure of the person, despite being warned about the emotional cost.
Knowing that you warned me of the price, I'd have to pay
Acknowledging the forewarned emotional toll that will be paid when the person leaves.
Life's full of flaws who knows the cause
Life is imperfect, and the reasons for such situations are unknown.
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Living with the memories of a love that never materialized.
And I've done everything I know try and change your mind
Despite efforts to change the person's mind, the speaker expects to miss them for a long time.
And I think I'm gonna miss you for a long, long time
Anticipating a prolonged period of missing the person due to unsuccessful attempts to alter their feelings.
'Cause I've done everything I know try and make you mine
Continued efforts by the speaker to win the person's love.
And I think I'm gonna love for a long, long time
Despite challenges, the speaker foresees a long-lasting love for the person.
