Lovesick
Lovesick Melody: A Heart's Cry in the Chaos of Love
Lyrics
Dear, I wrote you a song
Expressing the act of creating a song for someone
Despite the fact you did me wrong.
Acknowledging wrongdoing by the recipient of the song
And dear,
Continuation of the communication with the person addressed
I don't know what the hell is going on with you,
Expressing confusion about the recipient's behavior
But something ain't right.
Noticing that something is not right in the relationship
You tell me that you love me,
Recipient declares love but acts in a way that contradicts it
Then you go and leave me,
Contradictory actions of expressing love and leaving
Why you do this to me, baby?
Questioning the reasons behind the recipient's actions
I'm lovesick.
Expressing being emotionally unwell due to love
I just can't eat,
Physical and emotional effects of lovesickness
I just can't sleep,
Highlighting the impact on basic life functions
Can't do much of anything at all.
Describing the overall difficulty in functioning
'Cause I'm sick and in love with you, dear
Linking sickness to being deeply in love
Dear, I wrote you this song
Reiteration of writing a song for the recipient
In hopes that you would sing along.
Expressing a desire for the recipient to participate in the song
And dear, I've been working my ass off for you,
Indicating effort and hard work for the recipient
'Cause something ain't right.
Reiteration of feeling that something is amiss
You tell me that you love me,
Repeat of the conflicting declaration and actions of love
Then you go and leave me,
Repeating the pattern of expressing love and then leaving
Why you do this to me, baby?
Asking why the recipient is causing pain
I'm lovesick.
Reiterating being lovesick due to the recipient's actions
I just can't sleep,
Emphasizing the impact on sleep due to lovesickness
Just can't eat,
Emphasizing the impact on eating habits due to lovesickness
Can't do much of anything at all.
Highlighting the overall impairment in daily life
'Cause I'm sick and in love with you, dear
Linking sickness to being deeply in love (repeated)
You tell me that you love me,
Reiteration of conflicting love declarations and actions
Then you go and leave me,
Repeating the cycle of expressing love and then leaving
Why you do this to me, baby?
Reiterating the question about the cause of pain
I'm lovesick.
Reiterating being lovesick due to the recipient's actions
I just can't sleep,
Emphasizing the impact on sleep due to lovesickness (repeated)
Just can't eat,
Emphasizing the impact on eating habits due to lovesickness (repeated)
Can't do much of anything at all.
Highlighting the overall impairment in daily life (repeated)
'Cause I'm sick and in love with you, dear.
Linking sickness to being deeply in love (repeated)
