When I Told You
Unraveling Love's Deception: When Words Fail to Convey
Lyrics
When I told you that I love you, I thought you would understand
Expressing love and expecting understanding from the listener.
When I told you that I love you, I meant everything I said
Reaffirming the sincerity of the previous declaration of love.
When I told you that I love you I thought you could comprehend, the love I had for you
Anticipating comprehension of the depth of love shared.
I guess not
Expressing disappointment or realization that understanding did not occur.
I guess not
Reiteration of disappointment or realization.
Oh I knew that you would leave me
Acknowledging the expected departure of the partner.
Oh I knew that you would go
Acceptance of the partner's departure.
But I won't hold it against you
Expressing forgiveness or understanding for the partner's nature.
You weren't the type to give me hope
Recognizing the partner's inability to provide hope in the relationship.
You weren't the type to give me hope
-You weren't the type to give me hope
-Because, when I told you that I love you, I thought you would understand
Repeating the initial declaration of love and the expectation of understanding.
When I told you that I love you, I meant everything I said
-When I told you that I love you I thought you could comprehend, the love I had for you
-When I told you that I love you, I thought you would understand
Reaffirmation of love and the hope for comprehension.
When I told you that I love you, I meant everything I said
-When I told you that I love you I thought you could comprehend, the love I had for you
-I guess not
Reiteration of disappointment or realization.
I guess not
Continued expression of disappointment or realization.
My love, I thought it was real
Reflection on the belief in the authenticity of love.
My love, it was a done deal
-My love, I thought it was real
-My love, I thought it was real
Reiteration of the emotional impact of realizing the love wasn't reciprocated as expected.
My love, I thought it was real
-My love, oh it was a done deal
-My love, I thought it was real
Reaffirming the initial belief in the authenticity of love.
My love, I thought it was real
-When I told you that I love you, I thought you would understand
Repeating the cycle of expressing love and anticipating understanding.
When I told you that I love you, I meant everything I said
-When I told you that I love you I thought you could comprehend, the love I had for you
-I guess not
Final reiteration of disappointment or realization.
I guess not
