When Love Dies
Embracing Change: When Love Finds Redemption
Lyrics
When I saw you on the street
Encountering the person on the street
I almost turned away
Considering avoiding the person
When you stared in disbelief
Person's surprise and disbelief
Because I smiled and waved
Responding with a smile and wave
Oh the years have turned my bitterness
Years have transformed bitterness into regret
Into a sad regret
Reflecting on the change in feelings
And it's good to finally talk to you
Expressing relief in finally talking
And lay our past to rest
Laying the past to rest
Cause(And) I have changed and you have changed
Mutual acknowledgment of personal growth
And all is forgiven now
Forgiveness for past actions
And a long and silent last embrace
A final, silent embrace symbolizing closure
Shows our respect somehow
Expressing respect through the embrace
But it's ok to cry a little
Encouraging a release of emotions
I know where it comes from
Acknowledging the source of tears
These tears of sadness and relief
Mix of sadness and relief in tears
When love dies in your arms
Describing the end of love in one's embrace
You were once my deepest pain
Recognizing the person as a past source of pain
But you were once my friend
Recalling the person as a former friend
And a part of me was holding on
Holding onto the past until a reunion
Till I saw you again
Emotionally preparing to meet again
I couldn't bear to see it end
Difficulty accepting the end
With rage and jealousy
Ending with rage and jealousy
A feeling once so beautiful
Reflecting on the beauty of past feelings
Should die with dignity
Advocating for a dignified end to emotions
Cause(And) I have changed and you have changed
Reiteration of personal growth and change
And all is forgiven now
Confirming forgiveness for the past
And a long and silent last embrace
Repeating the significance of a final embrace
Shows our respect somehow
Highlighting respect conveyed through the embrace
But it's ok to cry a little
Encouraging a cathartic release of emotions
I know where it comes from
Acknowledging the origin of tears
These tears of sadness and relief
Describing the mixed emotions in tears
When love dies in your arms
Reflecting on the end of love within one's embrace
