A Strange Arrangement
Love's Divide: A Strange Arrangement Unraveled
Lyrics
We took the long and steady road
We chose the challenging and enduring path.
And from the start you had a heart of gold
From the beginning, you displayed a genuinely good and caring nature.
You broke the mold
You were unique and special.
I never thought you would decide
I never expected you to make the decision to pursue something seemingly better.
The grass was greener on the other side
You believed that there was something better on the other side of love's challenges.
Of love's divide
Referring to a separation or disagreement in the journey of love.
You were everything that I wanted and more
You embodied everything I desired and more.
Now we can't go back where we started
Now, we can't return to the beginning of our relationship.
We'll never be like before
Our relationship will never be the same as it was before.
Darling me and you, we had a strange arrangement
You and I had an unconventional arrangement.
But you broke all the rules
You disregarded the established norms or expectations.
And I'm through playing the fool for love
I won't continue to be foolish in the name of love.
Darling yes it's true, we had a grand engagement
Yes, it's true, our engagement was remarkable.
But I can't stand by, while you break my heart in two
I cannot passively watch as you emotionally hurt me.
Ooh, I've got to be a man
Expressing the need to be strong and decisive.
Baby I've got to take a stand, so
I have to take a stand and assert myself.
So now we've gone our separate ways
We have now gone separate ways.
But in my heart I feel the burning flames
Despite the separation, the intense feelings of love persist.
Of love's remains
The lingering emotions of a love that once existed.
I'll have to find somebody new
I must seek a new companion.
But all who dare will be compared to you
Anyone new will be compared to the uniqueness of you.
What can I do
Feeling helpless about the situation.
You were everything that I dreamed I would find
You were everything I had ever dreamed of finding.
Now we can't go back where we started
We can't go back to the initial stage of our relationship.
This is the end of the line
This marks the end of our connection.
Darling me and you, we had a strange arrangement
Reiteration of the unconventional nature of the relationship.
But you broke all the rules
Breaking established rules and expectations.
And I'm through playing the fool for love
No longer willing to play the role of a fool in love.
Darling yes it's true, we had a grand engagement
Confirming the uniqueness and grandeur of their engagement.
But I can't stand by, while you break my heart in two
Unable to tolerate the emotional pain caused by the partner.
Ooh, I've got to be a man
Emphasizing the need to be strong and mature.
Baby I've got to take a stand, so
Expressing the determination to take a decisive stand.
Darling me and you, we had a strange arrangement
Repetition of the unconventional nature of the relationship.
But you broke all the rules
Reiterating the breaking of established norms.
And I'm through playing the fool for love
No longer willing to be a fool in the name of love.
Darling yes it's true, we had a grand engagement
Reaffirming the remarkable nature of their engagement.
But I can't stand by, while you break my heart in two
Cannot passively endure the heartbreak caused by the partner.
Ooh, I've got to be a man
Stressing the need to be strong and assertive.
Baby I've got to take a stand, so
Emphasizing the necessity to take a stand and be decisive.
