anyone but you
Eternal Love's Lament: Lighthearted's Melody of Devotion
Lyrics
I don't love anyone but you
I am exclusively in love with you
Don't love anyone but you
My love is reserved only for you
Don't love anyone but you
There is no one else I love but you
There's a man who stands on street corners
Describing a man standing on street corners
As if they were his own
Referring to street corners as if they belong to the man
He prods and pleads and begs because
The man begs due to having no other place to go
He has nowhere else to go
Questioning personal well-being compared to the man's situation
Am I better off than he is?
Feeling mentally stuck or paralyzed
Immobile in my mind
Awareness of immobility in one's thoughts
I'm wide awake until the morning light
Staying awake until morning due to emotional unrest
Because I don't love anyone but you
Reiteration of exclusive love for the listener
Don't love anyone but you
Continued declaration of love only for the listener
Don't love anyone but you
Repeating the commitment to love only the listener
The blackbird sings in the dead of night
Describing a blackbird singing in the night
As if only for me
Feeling as if the blackbird's song is meant solely for the singer
He sits out on my windowsill
Visualizing the blackbird sitting on the windowsill
Until I fall asleep
Continuing the imagery of the blackbird's presence until sleep
And try as much as I may
Expressing effort to escape a particular feeling or situation
And try all that I must
Emphasizing determination to try everything possible
I can't escape the feeling
Feeling unable to escape the desire for the listener's presence
You should be here with us
Stating a belief that the listener should be present
Because I don't love anyone but you
Reaffirming exclusive love for the listener
Don't love anyone but you
Continued declaration of love only for the listener
Don't love anyone but you
Repeating the commitment to love only the listener
No, no
Emphatic denial of loving anyone else
I don't love anyone but you
Reiteration of exclusive love for the listener
Don't love anyone but you
Continued declaration of love only for the listener
Don't love anyone but you
Repeating the commitment to love only the listener
With you was the happiest
Expressing that the time with the listener was the happiest
That I have ever been
Affirming the exceptional joy experienced with the listener
My darling, please believe me
Pleading with the listener to believe in the sincerity of love
You have my love for the going
Expressing a commitment to love the listener despite challenges
