Does It Have to Be Today
Love's Fragile Dilemma: Does It Have to Be Today?
Lyrics
Somebody tell me
Seeking information or understanding from someone.
When this day is gonna end
Expressing impatience or discomfort with the current day.
It's the worst day
Referring to the day as particularly challenging due to losing both a lover and a friend.
To lose a lover and a friend
Highlighting the dual loss of a romantic partner and a friend on this difficult day.
Life can be cruel
Reflecting on life's harshness and unpredictability.
Love has no rules
Expressing that love doesn't follow strict rules or guidelines.
And all I can think about is the way
Focused on memories of how love was expressed in a particular way.
You make love like it would last forever
Recalling the enduring and passionate nature of past love.
You take the darkness from my shade
Describing the partner's ability to bring light to the speaker's life.
I always knew (I always knew)
Expressing a sense of foresight or anticipation.
My heart would break (my heart would break)
Acknowledging the expected emotional pain of a broken heart.
Does it have to be, does it have to be today?
Raising a question about the timing of the heartbreak.
Does it have to be today?
Repeating the question about the timing, emphasizing the urgency.
Did you notice the fighting
Observing a pattern of conflict overshadowing moments of affection.
Comes more often than the kisses?
Pointing out a disparity between fights and kisses in the relationship.
I see you inviting someone else to be yours
Noticing the partner's interest in someone else.
Though it's not surprising
Acknowledging the lack of surprise given past pain in the relationship.
Through all the pain that's been caused
Reflecting on the realization that the speaker can never belong to the partner.
Now I'm realizing
Coming to an understanding about the enduring pain caused by the relationship.
I could never be yours
Acknowledging the impossibility of a lasting connection.
You make love like it would last forever
Recalling the enduring and passionate nature of past love (repeated).
You take the darkness from my shade
Describing the partner's ability to bring light to the speaker's life (repeated).
And I always knew (I always knew)
Expressing a sense of foresight or anticipation (repeated).
My heart would break (my heart would break)
Acknowledging the expected emotional pain of a broken heart (repeated).
But does it have to be, does it have to be today?
Raising a question about the timing of the heartbreak (repeated).
Does it have to be today?
Repeating the question about the timing, emphasizing the urgency (repeated).
Can we just wait a little longer?
Suggesting a desire to postpone the inevitable heartbreak.
One more kiss, one more play
Expressing a wish for more time, perhaps for additional moments of intimacy.
Does it have to be today?
Repeating the question about the timing of the heartbreak, expressing reluctance.
You took the darkness away from my shade
Highlighting the partner's role in dispelling darkness from the speaker's life.
I always knew (I always knew)
Expressing a sense of foresight or anticipation (repeated).
My heart would break (my heart would break)
Acknowledging the expected emotional pain of a broken heart (repeated).
But does it have to be, does it have to be today?
Raising a question about the timing of the heartbreak (repeated).
Why does it have to be today?
Persisting in questioning the necessity of the heartbreak today.
I need more time
Expressing a need for more time before the inevitable separation.
Just a couple minutes more
Requesting a brief extension of time, emphasizing urgency.
Just stay just a couple minutes more
Pleading for a little more time before the impending separation.
