Completely Out of Love
Love's Exodus: Marty Robbins' Heartfelt Journey
Lyrics
We could always find tomorrow when a problem came our way
We used to be able to face challenges with optimism and find solutions in the future.
We could reach back in a storehouse full of love
We had a reserve of love that we could draw upon in difficult times.
Now we can't find tomorrow or run back to yesterday
Now, we are unable to look forward to the future or return to the past.
'Cause this time we've run completely out of love
This time, our relationship has completely run out of love.
This time there's no tomorrow, oh, we've told them all goodbye
We have said farewell to everyone this time, with finality.
We buried them in this hole we both dug
We have metaphorically buried our past, the love we once shared, in a self-created pit.
And we can't retrace our footsteps, yesterday has lost it's light
We cannot retrace our steps to the past; it has lost its brightness.
And this time we've run completely out of love
Our relationship has run completely out of love this time.
This time we found a mountain neither one of us can cross
We have encountered an insurmountable obstacle that neither of us can overcome.
And a valley where the sun don't ever shine
We are in a dark place where joy and positivity are absent.
And this time we just can't make it, all the love we had is lost
This time, our efforts to revive the lost love have failed.
And we've run completely out of love this time
We have reached a point where we are completely devoid of love.
This time we found a mountain neither one of us can cross
Reiteration of the challenging mountain and sunless valley metaphor.
And a valley where the sun don't ever shine
Reiteration of the dark and joyless place we find ourselves in.
Lord, this time we just can't make it, all the love we had is lost
Reiteration of the failure to salvage the love we once had.
And we've run completely out of love this time
We are now completely depleted of love at this point.
Yes we've run completely out of love this time
Emphasis on the total exhaustion of love in our relationship.
