Don't Our Love Look Natural
Elegy of Faded Love: Joe Diffie's Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
We're gather in this room today to say our last goodbyes
We are gathered in this room today for a final farewell.
Friends and kinfolks stayed away, it's down to you and I
Only you and I remain as friends and relatives have stayed away.
It's just a simple service and much too late to say
The funeral service is simple, and expressing regrets now is too late.
Those tender words unspoken yesterday
Regret for not expressing affectionate words in the past.
Now don't our love look natural lying there?
Reflecting on the appearance of love in a lifeless state.
You could almost expect it to get right up and care
The lifeless love almost seems capable of coming back to life.
It faded in its prime and died before its time
Love faded prematurely and died before reaching its full potential.
Now don't our love look natural lying there?
Reiterating the observation of the lifeless state of love.
I know the day our love was born but I don't when it died
Aware of when love began but uncertain about when it ended.
I think we could've save it but it seems nobody tried
Belief that efforts could have saved the relationship, but no one attempted.
And love like time could slip away and vanish with the dawn
Comparing love to time, emphasizing its transient nature.
And you can't bring it back, no, when it's gone
Once love is lost, it cannot be reclaimed.
But don't our love look natural lying there?
Repeating the visual of love appearing lifeless.
You could almost expect it to get right up and care
Highlighting the surreal expectation of the lifeless love springing back to life.
It faded in its prime and die before its time
Reiteration of love fading prematurely and dying before its time.
Now don't our love look natural lying there?
Emphasizing the observation of love in its lifeless state.
It faded in its prime and died before its time
Reaffirmation of love fading before reaching its full potential.
Now don't our love look natural lying there?
Repeating the reflection on the lifeless appearance of love.
Yes, and don't our love natural lying there?
Repeating the previous lines, underscoring the natural yet lifeless state of love.
