Go Leave
Heartache Echoes: Martha Wainwright's Emotional Departure in 'Go Leave'
Lyrics
Go, leave
Expressing a command or suggestion for someone to depart.
She's better than me
Acknowledging that the other person is superior or more capable.
Or at least she is stronger
Suggesting that the other person possesses greater emotional strength.
She will make it last longer
Indicating that the other person can sustain a relationship for a longer duration.
That's nice for you
Expressing a resigned or bitter acknowledgment of the situation's positivity for the other person.
Go, leave
Reiterating the instruction to depart.
Don't come back
Emphasizing the finality of the separation, discouraging any return.
No more am I for the taking
Declaring that the speaker is no longer available or willing to be taken advantage of.
But I can't say that my heart's not aching
Admitting that despite the resolve, the speaker's heart is experiencing pain.
It's breaking in two
Conveying the emotional turmoil, stating that the heart is breaking into two.
I remember days when we laughed a lot
Reflecting on past happy moments shared with the other person.
Those that weren't so good I soon forgot
Acknowledging the ability to forget the unpleasant memories quickly.
We could sit and talk till words
Recalling the depth of communication and connection in the relationship.
Were coming out our ears
Describing a time when conversation flowed easily.
Not just for days or weeks or months
Emphasizing the extended duration of the lack of communication.
But it's been years
Highlighting the significant passage of time without meaningful interaction.
Now here they come
Anticipating and acknowledging the arrival of tears.
Here they come here come my tears
Expressing the onset of emotional distress with the arrival of tears.
So go, leave
Reiterating the instruction to leave, emphasizing the speaker's acceptance of the separation.
You said goodbye
Recalling the moment when the other person said goodbye.
But could it be that you are stalling
Suggesting the possibility that the other person is hesitating or delaying their departure.
Hearts have a way of calling
Noting the innate tendency of hearts to reach out when they have been genuinely connected.
When they've been true
Affirming the authenticity of the emotions experienced in the relationship.
