The End Of The Affair
Navigating the Bittersweet Symphony of Love's End
Lyrics
Max came around one day
Max visited one day.
With very much, nothing to say
Max had little to communicate.
And so we sat in silence by the road
Both sat in silence by the road.
It took awhile to land
It took a while for the situation to become clear or settled.
He threw his head into hands
Max expressed despair by covering his face with his hands.
And said this is too much
Max felt overwhelmed, stating that the situation is too much for a person to bear.
For man to hold
The emotional burden was intense and difficult to endure.
If you were mine
If Max belonged to the speaker.
If you were mine
If Max were the speaker's, the speaker would allow Max to live his own life.
I'd let you live your life
The speaker would grant Max the freedom to live independently.
Threw my head into his chest
The speaker leaned against Max's chest.
I think we did our best
The speaker believes they did their best.
But now we must make good
Now, they must fulfill promises or commitments made to God.
On words to God
(No specific meaning mentioned in the lyrics.)
Answered with a weary breath
The speaker senses being lost in the situation for an extended period.
No need to say the rest
The speaker feels there is no need to verbalize the unspoken parts.
I feel that we've been lost here
There is a perception of being lost in the situation for too long.
For too long
(No specific meaning mentioned in the lyrics.)
If you were mine
If Max belonged to the speaker.
If you were mine
If Max were the speaker's, the speaker would allow Max to live his own life.
I'd let you live your life
The speaker would grant Max the freedom to live independently.
The end of the affair
The conclusion of the emotional relationship.
I tried to keep us there
The speaker attempted to sustain the relationship.
Shake hands and say goodnight
The speaker suggests parting ways amicably, expressing love and bidding farewell.
I love you, goodbye
A final expression of love and the acknowledgment of the end of the relationship.
Now let me live my life
The speaker requests the freedom to live their own life.
