Lyrics
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
Expressing the difficulty of the situation and anticipation of misunderstanding.
When I try to explain how I feel
Attempting to convey personal emotions.
That I still need your love after all that I've done
Acknowledging the need for love despite past actions.
You won't believe me
Expecting disbelief from others.
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Highlighting a changed persona despite the familiarity.
Although she's dressed up to the nines
Describing an elevated appearance, perhaps to impress.
At sixes and sevens with you
Expressing confusion or disorder in the relationship.
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Justifying a necessary change in life.
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Rejecting a life of hardship and stagnation.
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
Reflecting on the past while avoiding exposure to difficulties.
So I chose freedom
Choosing freedom and exploring new experiences.
Running around, trying everything new
Expressing disappointment with new experiences.
But nothing impressed me at all
Nothing impressing despite the pursuit of novelty.
I never expected it to
Unmet expectations regarding the new experiences.
Don't cry for me Argentina
Addressing the audience, advising against sorrow for her.
The truth is I never left you
Affirming a continuous connection despite appearances.
All through my wild days
Reflecting on past tumultuous times.
My mad existence
Describing a chaotic existence.
I kept my promise
Commitment to a promise made.
Don't keep your distance
Encouraging closeness instead of distance.
And as for fortune, and as for fame
Downplaying the importance of fortune and fame.
I never invited them in
Rejecting the influence of external factors.
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
Perceived desires not aligning with personal wants.
They are illusions
Dismissing illusions as inadequate solutions.
They are not the solutions they promised to be
Highlighting the shortcomings of perceived solutions.
The answer was here all the time
Realization that the answer lies in love.
I love you and hope you love me
Expressing mutual love and hope.
Don't cry for me Argentina
Reiteration of not wanting pity or sorrow.
Don't cry for me Argentina
Reaffirmation of not leaving despite appearances.
The truth is I never left you
Continuation of the message of line 20.
All through my wild days
Revisiting turbulent times in the past.
My mad existence
Reiteration of a chaotic existence.
I kept my promise
Reiterating the commitment to a promise.
Don't keep your distance
Encouraging closeness instead of distance (repeated).
Have I said too much?
Questioning if too much has been revealed.
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
Expressing a difficulty in finding more to say.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
Asserting the truthfulness of every word through non-verbal communication.
That every word is true
Final affirmation of the truth in the spoken words.
