Honey Don't
Love's Cost: Balancing Pain and Longing
Lyrics
All I feel's been felt before.
All emotions I experience have been felt by others in the past.
Monuments to suffering abound.
There are many monuments or symbols representing pain and hardship.
I want to cause your laugh's buoyant sound
I desire to evoke the joyful sound of your laughter.
But oh the pain when you ignore
However, the pain is intense when you ignore me.
Honey don't say those words if you will not follow through
Cautioning against using affectionate words without genuine commitment.
Don't give me no ideas if you will not make them true
Discouraging the expression of ideas without the intention to fulfill them.
Don't be so kind 'cause you'll stick in my mind
Warning against false kindness as it leaves a lasting impression.
And love's a cost I can't afford
Love comes with a significant emotional cost that the speaker cannot bear.
Days like this my heart is sore
On certain days, the speaker's heart is deeply pained.
From all the weight that I have carried to
The burden carried by the speaker is substantial and weighs on the heart.
Carve a little wider space for you-
Creating more emotional space for someone special, despite the challenges.
Why do I keep clearing more?
Questioning the constant effort to make room for someone in the speaker's life.
Honey don't say those words if you will not follow through
Reiteration of the warning against using empty words without commitment.
Don't give me no ideas if you will not make them true
Reemphasizing the need for sincerity when expressing ideas or feelings.
Don't be so kind 'cause you'll stick in my mind
Advising against false kindness, which leaves a lasting impact on the speaker's mind.
And love's a cost I can't afford
Love is emotionally costly and beyond the speaker's means to afford.
Don't be so kind 'cause you'll stick in my mind
Repetition of the caution against false kindness, emphasizing its lasting impact.
And love's a cost I can't afford
Reiteration of the emotional cost of love, emphasizing its unaffordability.
