No Amount of Reason
Unbreakable Love: Navigating Heartache with Michael McDonald
Lyrics
I try to see you clearly
I strive to understand you clearly.
But I just turn the other cheek
Despite my efforts, I choose to ignore certain issues.
Though I love you dearly
Although I deeply care for you.
I'm only losin' sleep
My emotional turmoil keeps me awake.
What am I supposed to learn
What am I supposed to learn from this emotional pain?
From a broken heart
Questions the lessons to be gained from a broken heart.
What have you to gain
Asks about the motivation behind causing emotional devastation.
By tearin' my world apart
Questions the purpose of tearing apart the speaker's world.
Don't you know that¡
Expresses disbelief or frustration towards the actions.
No amount of tears
No quantity of tears can erase the pain.
Could ever wash away
Indicates that tears cannot eliminate the emotional scars.
No amount of heartache
No level of heartache can diminish the enduring love.
Could ever make love fade
Heartache cannot overshadow the strength of love.
Girl there's nothin' I can do
Expresses helplessness in the face of persistent emotions.
I just can't quit loving you
Declares an inability to stop loving despite difficulties.
And no amount of reason
No logical explanation can alter the emotional attachment.
Could change the way I feel
Reason cannot change the profound feelings.
I should've heard the message
Regrets not understanding a previous message.
That you tried to send to me
Recognizes that love offers no guarantees despite good intentions.
For all it's best intentions
Reflects on the uncertainty that love brings.
Love gives no guarantee
Acknowledges the lack of assurances in love.
What am I supposed to do
Questions the appropriate response now that the person is gone.
Now that you're gone
Addresses the challenges of moving on after the departure.
For all we've been through
Despite the shared experiences, the speaker holds on.
Still I keep holdin' on
Expresses the difficulty of letting go.
All I know is¡
Highlights the persistent and unresolved emotions.
