Love Is Here and Now You're Gone
Love's Deceptive Dance: Unraveling the Emotional Symphony by Michael Jackson
Lyrics
Love is here
Expressing the presence of love
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Love was present, but now the person is gone
Love is here
Reiterating the presence of love
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Emphasizing the absence of the person despite love
You persuaded me to love you and I did
The person persuaded the speaker to love, and they did
But instead of tenderness I found heartache instead
Instead of tenderness, the speaker found heartache
Into your arms I fell
The speaker fell into the arms of the person
So unaware of the loneliness that was waiting there
Realizing unawareness of the loneliness ahead
You closed the door to your heart girl and turned the key
The person closed the door to their heart, shutting the speaker out
Locked your love away from me
Symbolizing the person locking away their love
Love is here
Reiteration of the presence of love
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Despite love, the person is now gone
You made me love you
The person made the speaker love them
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Despite love, the person is now gone
You said loving you would make life beautiful
The person claimed loving them would make life beautiful
With each passing day
Contrast between the promise and the person walking away
But as soon as love came into my heart
Love came into the speaker's heart, but the person left
You turned and you walked, just walked away
The person took dreams away and left the speaker
You stripped me of my dreams
Symbolizing loss of dreams and hope
You gave me faith, then you took my hope, look at me now
Emphasizing the impact of the person's actions
Look at me
Reflecting on the impact of loving the person
See what loving you has done to me
Consequences of loving the person on the speaker's face
Look at my face
Physical evidence of crying due to the person's actions
See how crying has left its trace
Traces of crying visible on the speaker's face
After you made me all your own
The person made the speaker their own, then left them alone
Then you left me all alone
The loneliness left by the person
You made your words sound so sweet
The person's words sounded sweet, but love couldn't be kept
Knowing that your love I couldn't keep
Emphasizing the loss of love
My heart cries out for your touch
The speaker yearns for the person's touch
But baby, you're not there
Despite the yearning, the person is not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air
The speaker's cry for companionship fades away
Love is here
Repetition of the presence of love
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Despite love, the person is now gone
Love is here
Reiterating the presence of love
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Emphasizing the absence of the person despite love
You made me love you (my love is here)
The person made the speaker love them
Oh, oh my darling, now you're gone (and now you're gone)
Despite love, the person is now gone
Talking 'bout love, love, love, oh oh (my love is here)
Expression of love and its impact
Oh my darling, now you're gone (and now you're gone)
Despite love, the person is now gone
Talking 'bout love, love, love, oh oh (my love is here)
Expression of love and its impact
My darling, now you're gone (and now you're gone)
Despite love, the person is now gone
Talking 'bout love, love, love, oh oh (my love is here)
Expression of love and its impact
