Lyrics
Oh my darling
Expressing endearment or affection towards the person addressed.
Oh my darling
Repetition emphasizes the emotional connection.
How can you forget?
Questioning how the person can forget something significant.
All the love we had between us
Reflecting on the love that once existed between the speaker and the person addressed.
Now it's like we'd never met
Expressing the feeling that the connection has now vanished, as if they never met.
Oh it kills me
Highlighting emotional pain and its intensity.
How it kills me
Reiterating the emotional impact, emphasizing the depth of the speaker's feelings.
When I think how I held you up
Regretting the role the speaker played, feeling hurt by memories of supporting the person addressed.
You were golden, I was blind
Describing the person addressed as special ("golden") and acknowledging the speaker's past blindness to certain issues.
With your poison in my blood
Referring to a toxic influence from the past relationship.
Bittersweet are the memories
Describing memories as both sweet and painful, capturing the complexity of past love.
That make young lovers pine
Expressing the common experience of yearning in young lovers.
But I'd trade all the memories
Willing to sacrifice all memories for the sake of having the person's heart in the present.
Just to have your heart in mine
Everybody's talking to me
Expressing the disappearance of the person addressed from the speaker's life.
But they just can't explain
Observing a change in the world after the person's departure.
You disappeared from all the pages, now nothing seems the same
Recalling a time when the speaker believed they knew the person addressed, but now facing a different reality.
There was a time I thought I knew you, when I looked you in the eye
Noticing a lack of connection as reflected in the eyes of the person addressed.
Now the same eyes look right through me
Highlighting the emotional distance, with the person being indifferent to the speaker's emotions.
You're too cool to see me cry
Bittersweet are the memories
Reiterating the theme of longing and nostalgia in memories.
That make young lovers pine
Expressing the desire to exchange all memories for a current connection with the person.
But I'd trade all the memories
Just to have your heart in mine
Repetition for emphasis on the speaker's yearning for the person's heart in the present.
Oh my darling
Repetition of endearment, addressing the person with affection.
Oh my darling
Reinforcing the emotional connection through repetition.
How can you forget?
Repeating the question of how the person can forget.
All the love we had between us
Recalling the lost love between the speaker and the person addressed.
Now it's like we'd never met
Expressing the sense of total estrangement, as if the meeting never occurred.
You were golden, I was blind
Recalling the special nature of the person addressed and the speaker's past lack of awareness.
Now it's like we'd never met
Reiterating the feeling of complete separation, as if the past connection never existed.
