Confessin' the Blues
Surviving Heartbreak: Joe Williams' Soulful Journey Through Love's Departure
Lyrics
You say you're leaving; you've shattered my dreams
You're declaring your intention to leave, causing my hopes and aspirations to collapse.
All of our plans, dear, forgotten it seems
All our joint plans seem to have been forgotten or abandoned.
Yes, it had to happen
This outcome was inevitable or expected.
I'm not surprised, but I'll, I'll survive
While not surprised by this, I will endure and continue.
Your friends have shown you a much better way
Your friends have influenced you to find a better path, ending our years of love.
All of my loving you, baby, all of those years ended today
The love I had for you and all the time we spent together ends today.
Yes, you go on, darlin'
You may move forward, my dear, while I'll manage my emotions, yet persist.
I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive
Despite tears, I will continue to live and endure.
Go on, may god bless you
Go ahead, and may divine blessings accompany you.
It was fun while it was fun
Our time together was enjoyable, but it's in the past now.
Baby, I hate to lose you
I deeply regret losing you.
I say I hate to lose you, baby
Expressing the pain of losing you, emphasizing it.
It's all over; what's done is done
Everything's finished; what's happened is irreversible.
Hey, you go on, darlin', seek your fortune and fame
Proceed and seek success and fame, my dear.
All your good luck or bad luck
Whether good or bad outcomes, your circle of friends is accountable.
Your friends must take the blame
Attributing responsibility to your friends for the situation.
Oh, I can't beg you no more, baby
I won't plead anymore; my self-respect is too strong, but I'll endure.
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Despite my pride, I'll persist and survive despite the pain.
Oh, go on, may god bless you
Wishing you well as you move on with divine blessings.
Oh, it was fun while it was fun
Recalling the enjoyable moments we had together, now in the past.
Oh baby, I hate to lose you
Deep sorrow over losing you, emphasizing the feeling.
I say I hate to lose you, baby
Stressing the sadness and regret of losing you.
It's all over--what's done is done
Accepting that what's happened is irreversible; it's all concluded.
Hey, you go on, baby, seek your fortune and fame
Encouraging you to continue seeking success and fame.
All your good, good luck or bad luck
The outcomes, whether good or bad, are influenced by friends.
Friends must take the blame
Attributing responsibility to friends for the outcomes.
Oh, I can't beg you no more
Refusing to plead further due to personal dignity, yet continuing to endure.
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Despite my pride, I'll persist and survive despite the pain.
Oh, I'll, I'll survive
Emphasizing the determination to endure and survive despite the circumstances.
Baby, I'll survive
Reaffirming the commitment to survive despite the hardships.
