I'd Be Surprised
Unexpected Departure: Love's Final Stand
Lyrics
It’s true I’m amused by you
Expressing genuine amusement towards the other person.
But I fear what we both know is true
Acknowledging a shared awareness of a painful truth about their relationship.
That I hurt you too many times now
Recognizing the speaker's history of causing emotional pain to the other person.
And I’ve let our good love die
Admitting that the speaker's actions have led to the deterioration of their once good love.
Will you walk away from what I’ve done to you
Pondering whether the other person will end the relationship due to the speaker's mistakes.
Will we make it through the night
Questioning the possibility of overcoming the challenges in their relationship.
I’d be surprised if you don’t leave me
Expressing a belief that it would be surprising if the other person chooses not to leave.
I’d be surprised if you stick around
Anticipating surprise if the other person decides to stay despite the speaker's flaws.
You traveled all this way to see me, just to see me let you down
Reflecting on the disappointment the other person may feel after investing effort in the relationship.
I’d be surprised if you forgive me
Expressing doubt about the possibility of being forgiven for the speaker's past actions.
After all I’ve put you through
Acknowledging the hardships and pain inflicted on the other person by the speaker.
I’d be surprised if you don’t leave me
Reiterating the expectation that the other person may choose to leave.
It’s true you’re amused by me
Acknowledging that the other person finds amusement in the speaker as well.
But I see what we both couldn't see
Realizing a shared understanding that was previously overlooked.
That I’ve hurt you too many times now
Repeating the acknowledgment of causing emotional pain to the other person.
And I’ve let our good love die
Admitting that the speaker's actions have led to the deterioration of their once good love (repeated).
Will you walk away from all I’ve down to you
Questioning whether the other person will walk away due to the speaker's actions (repeated).
Will we make it through the night
Contemplating the possibility of overcoming their relationship challenges (repeated).
I’d be surprised if you don’t leave me
Reiterating the belief that it would be surprising if the other person chooses not to leave (repeated).
I’d be surprised if you stick around
Repeating the anticipation of surprise if the other person decides to stay (repeated).
You traveled all this way to see me, just to see me let you down
Reiterating the reflection on potential disappointment felt by the other person (repeated).
I’d be surprised if you forgive me
Repeating the doubt about the possibility of being forgiven (repeated).
After all I’ve put you through
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the hardships and pain inflicted on the other person (repeated).
I’d be surprised if you don’t leave me
Repeating the expectation that the other person may choose to leave (repeated).
