Thin Love
Unveiling the Depths of Thin Love: A Poignant Journey
Lyrics
Always thought I could talk to you
Expressing the belief that communication with the person was possible.
Never thought it'd be so hard to do
Surprised by the difficulty in talking to the person.
But you ain't there when we're together
Noticing the absence of the person during their time together.
And love don't play at your leisure
Love is not given casually or at the person's convenience.
Now I don't expect anything from you
Setting low expectations, not anticipating much from the person.
Tell you why
Providing a reason for the low expectations.
Cause all you're dealing out is thin love
Accusing the person of only offering superficial or inadequate love.
And all you're handing me is thin love
Reiterating the idea that the love received is insubstantial.
(Thin love)
Emphasizing the thinness of the love being discussed.
(Thin love)
-Is this falling on deaf ears?
Questioning if the concerns are being ignored or unheard.
You're the one who'll be left in tears
Suggesting that the person will eventually experience heartbreak.
Cause I ain't one of your best friend forevers
Rejecting the notion of being a forever-best friend; highlighting the depth of love.
Love is deep, it ain't got no measure
Love is profound and immeasurable.
Love is free, not fade away
Love is liberating and enduring.
That's right
Affirming the truth of the previous statements.
And all you're dealing out is thin love
Repeating the accusation of providing insufficient love.
And all you're handing me is thin love
-Oh, yeah
Repeating the assertion that the love given is thin.
And all you're dealing out is thin love
-And all you're handing me is thin love
-I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why
Expressing confusion and frustration about the situation.
No matter how I try
No matter the effort, communication barriers persist.
Nothin' gets through to you
Describing the difficulty in getting through to the person emotionally.
How hard I try, how hard I try, how hard I try, how hard I try
Despite intense effort, there is a lack of understanding or response.
I don't know why
Reiterating the confusion about the situation.
What more can I do?
Pleading for additional effort or understanding.
What more can I do?
Repeating the question of what more can be done to bridge the gap.
Cause all you're dealing out is thin love
Reiterating the claim of receiving inadequate love.
And all you're handing me is thin love
-That's right
Repeating the assertion of thin love.
And all you're dealing out is thin love
-And all you're handing me is thin love
-That's right
-(Thin love)
Reaffirming the thinness of the love.
Oh, yeah
-Come on
Encouraging or challenging the person to recognize the issue.
(Thin love)
-Come on, come on baby
Inviting the person to listen and understand.
Listen
A call to attention or emphasis.
(Thin love)
Reiterating the concept of thin love.
Mmm
An expressive sound or reflection of emotion.
(Thin love)
Repeating the idea of thin love as a closing statement.
