Lyrics
So now love is gone
Expressing the absence of love.
And I can't go on
Feeling unable to continue without love.
Love is gone
Reiteration of the loss of love.
I want to say, now it's just too late
Regretting not expressing feelings in time.
Waited far too long
Acknowledging a prolonged delay in taking action.
Shoulda told you then I knew
Expressing a missed opportunity to communicate feelings.
Shoulda told you right from the start, yeah
Regret for not being upfront about feelings from the beginning.
But the words didn't come out right
Acknowledging difficulty in articulating emotions.
So I'll tell you straight from my heart
Committing to express emotions sincerely.
You meant more to me
Admitting the importance of the person in the speaker's life.
Then I let you see
Regretting not revealing the depth of feelings.
You held on somehow
Recognizing the resilience of the person despite challenges.
All your tenderness and your sweet caress
Remembering the warmth and affection received.
I miss you now
Expressing the current longing for the person.
But a head strong stubborn man
Describing a determined but perhaps misguided individual.
Only works it out the best he can
Highlighting the self-reliant nature of the individual.
Valentines he never sent
Noting the neglect of romantic gestures like sending Valentines.
There's not enough time he's a working man
Justifying lack of time due to a busy working life.
Can't stop falling
Expressing a continued emotional descent.
Heartaches calling
Describing the emotional pain following a fall or failure.
Finds you after the fall
Connecting heartaches to the aftermath of a fall or failure.
Saints or sinners
Referring to the unpredictable outcomes for both virtuous and sinful individuals.
Take no prisoners
Emphasizing a ruthless or uncompromising attitude.
What's left, after you fall
Questioning what remains after a fall or failure.
No not much no
Expressing a sense of loss or emptiness after a fall.
I said love is gone
Repeating the theme of lost love.
I can't go on
Reiterating the inability to move forward without love.
Now love is gone
Restating the absence of love.
I want to say but it's just too late
Repeating the regret of not expressing feelings in time.
Waited far too long
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a prolonged delay.
Shoulda told you then I knew
Repeating the theme of a missed opportunity to communicate.
Shoulda told you right from the start, yeah
Reiterating regret for not being upfront about feelings.
But the words didn't come out right
Reiterating the difficulty in articulating emotions.
So I'll tell you straight from my heart
Reiterating the commitment to express emotions sincerely.
Can't stop falling

Heartaches calling

Oh no not much

After the fall

After you fall
