If You Love Someone
Embrace Freedom: A Poetic Journey on Letting Love Soar
Lyrics
If you love someone you gotta let them be free
If you love someone, you must allow them freedom.
If you love someone you gotta let them be free
Reiteration of the importance of letting the loved one be free.
You can't cage them you can't save them
Restricting or controlling someone you love is not possible or beneficial.
You just gotta let them be free
Emphasis on the necessity of allowing freedom for the loved one.
And when they run don't go running after them
When they choose to leave, refrain from pursuing them.
And when they run don't go running after them
Reiteration: avoid chasing after them when they decide to depart.
If the love you knew was something true
Implication that genuine love will find its way back if it's real.
They'll find their way back again
Trust that if the affection is genuine, the person will return.
And I know how this must eat you up
Acknowledgment of the emotional pain caused by this situation.
Who could know that it would hurt this much
Surprise at the depth of the hurt caused by this experience.
Time never heals it only makes us numb
Noting that time doesn't necessarily heal but rather numbs the pain.
If you love someone throw your weapons in the sea
When you love someone, discard any means of causing harm or conflict.
If you love someone throw your weapons in the sea
Reiteration: let go of any weapons or methods that could cause harm.
With open arms it's kind of hard
When welcoming someone back, it's challenging to harm or hurt them.
To shoot at anything
Having an open and welcoming stance makes it hard to harm anyone.
And I know how this must eat you up
Acknowledgment of the pain experienced due to the situation.
Who could know that it would hurt this much
Reiteration of surprise at the intensity of the hurt caused.
Time never heals it only makes us numb
Time doesn't necessarily heal the pain but rather desensitizes us.
And I know that it's been pretty rough
Acknowledgment that the experience has been quite difficult.
And I know you should have been enough
Acknowledgment that perhaps the love shown should have been sufficient.
So maybe I'm the one
Speculation that the speaker might be the cause of the issue.
Maybe I'm the one
Reiteration: contemplation that the speaker might be at fault.
You can never fill up
Realization that one might never be able to fulfill the other's needs or desires.
