Another Woman
Unrequited Love's Pain
Lyrics
He gives me everything and I love him
Expressing gratitude for receiving everything from the partner and professing love.
He gives up everything to me
Acknowledging that the partner sacrifices everything for the speaker.
But although I show the world I need him
Despite outwardly showing the world that the speaker needs the partner, there's a hidden struggle.
He'll never know 'cuz he's not free
The partner is unaware of the speaker's internal struggles as they are not emotionally free.
And I can't do it to another, do it to another woman
Expressing an inability to hurt another woman in a similar situation.
I can't do it to another, do it to another girl
Reiterating the reluctance to cause pain to another girl in a similar relationship.
Her life depends on him more than mine ever could
Comparing the dependence of another woman on the partner, implying a challenging emotional situation.
I'd cry to look within, I got it bad and that ain't good
Expressing personal emotional turmoil and a sense of longing that's not reciprocated.
Oh no
An exclamation possibly indicating a realization or strong emotion.
He's with me night and day and I love him
Reaffirming love for the partner who is consistently present.
He's near me come what may, yes indeed
Highlighting the partner's proximity regardless of circumstances.
But, though I cry the skies above him
Expressing emotional pain despite the partner's closeness.
I know that I should let him be
Recognizing the need to let the partner be free despite personal emotional struggles.
And I just did it to another, did it to another woman
Admitting to causing pain to another woman in a similar situation.
I just did it to another, did it to another girl
Acknowledging the responsibility for hurting another girl emotionally.
Her life depends on him more than mine ever could
Comparing the emotional dependence of another woman to the speaker's own situation.
I'd die to look within, I've got it bad and I'm not good
Expressing a deep emotional struggle, implying personal suffering due to unrequited love.
Her life depends on him but then I feel the same
Recognizing the similarity in emotional dependence with another woman.
I'd cry to look within, I guess I'll just learn to live in pain
Accepting the emotional pain and learning to live with it.
She can't do it to another, do it to another woman
Indicating that another woman is unable to inflict similar emotional pain on someone else.
She can't do it to another, do it to another girl
Reiterating the reluctance of another woman to hurt another girl emotionally.
He gives me everything and I love him
Reaffirming love for the partner despite the internal emotional struggles.
She loves him
Highlighting that another woman loves the partner, possibly emphasizing shared emotions.
