Even a Fool Would Let Go
Love's Unyielding Grip: Even a Fool's Reluctance
Lyrics
It's funny how love goes
Expressing the unpredictable nature of love.
'Cause I know this will never work out
Acknowledging the improbability of a successful relationship.
But darlin' my love grows
Despite challenges, the speaker's love continues to grow.
Even though there's no reason to doubt
Believing in the love despite a lack of apparent reasons.
This can never be
Recognizing the impossibility of the relationship.
You keep sayin' it's wrong
Insisting on the wrongness of the relationship.
Neither of us is free
Both individuals are not free to pursue the relationship.
Still I want to hold on
Despite challenges, the desire to hold on persists.
When even a fool would let go
Emphasizing the irrationality of holding on despite the difficulties.
'Cause she knows that there's no use in tryin'
Acknowledging the futility of trying to make the relationship work.
Even a child would say no
Suggesting that even a child would recognize the inevitable heartbreak.
When she knows that she'll end up crying
Highlighting the certainty of pain in pursuing the relationship.
Tell me now it is wise holding you
Pondering the wisdom of holding onto the relationship.
When even a fool would let go
Reiterating the folly of clinging to the relationship against reason.
My love is no reason
Love is presented as inexplicable, much like mismatched song lyrics.
Like the words in a song that don't rhyme
Love is timeless and not bound by seasons.
My love's got no season
Assuring that the love is constant and ever-present.
I just know that it's there all the time
Expressing belief in the innocence of the relationship.
Baby just you and me
Asserting the legitimacy of the connection between the speaker and the other person.
I can't believe that's wrong
Challenging the perception that thinking about the relationship is wrong.
Thinkin' 'bout you and me
Reflecting on thoughts of the relationship, prompting a desire to persist.
Makes me want to hold on
The contemplation reinforces the speaker's urge to hold on.
When even a fool would let go
Repeating the theme of the irrationality of holding on to the relationship.
'Cause she knows there's no use tryin'
Reiterating the futility of trying to make the relationship work.
Even a child would say no
Restating that even a child would recognize the inevitable heartbreak.
When she knows that she'll end up crying
Emphasizing the certainty of pain in pursuing the relationship.
Tell me now is it wise holding you
Pondering the wisdom of holding onto the relationship.
When even a fool would let go
Reiterating the folly of clinging to the relationship against reason.
When even a fool would let go
Concluding with the repetition of the irrationality of holding on.
