A Wound Time Can't Erase
Unhealed Echoes: Love's Betrayal in 'A Wound Time Can't Erase'
Lyrics
Have you found since you turned me down
Asking if the person has found someone new since rejecting the speaker
The one that you've been searching for
Inquiring about whether the person has found the one they were looking for
Are you glad that you made me sad
Asking if the person is happy about causing the speaker sadness, as they had promised eternal love
For you know you vowed to love me ever more.
Referencing the commitment to love forever and questioning the person's actions
What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Questioning the person's intentions when breaking the speaker's heart
Are you laughing in my face
Wondering if the person is mocking or ridiculing the speaker
Tell me what can I do when you say that we are through
Expressing helplessness when the person declares the end of the relationship
You've left a wound time can't erase.
Emphasizing the lasting emotional pain caused by the breakup
--- Instrumental ---
Instrumental break, no lyrics
Tell me dear are you satisfied
Asking if the person is content with being free and without commitment
To be foot loose and fancy free
Questioning if the person desires power for their actions and the consequences they've caused
Is it power you want for the things that you have done
Reflecting on the uncertainty of what the person has gained from their actions
What you've gained I guess I'll never see.
Expressing the speaker's inability to understand the gains made by the person
What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Reiterating the questioning of the person's intentions when breaking the speaker's heart
Are you laughing in my face
Asking if the person finds amusement in the speaker's pain
Tell me what can I do when you say that we are through
Expressing confusion and helplessness when the person declares the end of the relationship
You've left a wound time can't erase...
Reiterating the enduring emotional scar left by the breakup
