Love's Undoing: A DIY Heartbreak Tale
Lyrics
Some girls lose their boys after years
Some girls experience the loss of their partners after a long time together.
Some lose them right at the start
Some lose their partners right at the beginning of the relationship.
Standing in line, it's a question of time
Waiting in line refers to a queue of potential partners, indicating uncertainty about who will be hurt next.
Who's gonna be the next broken heart
Speculation about whose heartbreak will come next.
My heart belonged to a love so strong
The singer had a deep, committed love for someone.
I would love him 'til the day that I die
The singer was devoted to loving this person until death.
But I didn't lose my love to the Lord above
The loss wasn't to a higher power but to something mundane, indicated by 'D I Y'.
I lost him to a D I Y
The relationship was lost due to the actions represented by 'D I Y' (Do It Yourself).
D, she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
A person (referred to as 'D') was determined to take the singer's partner.
I, if you're idle enough they can steal from the very first dance
Idleness or inattentiveness can lead to losing a partner, even from the first encounter.
Y, she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
Being young and pretty seemed more appealing than the singer; attractiveness played a role in the loss.
But we gave them all our kisses
The singer and their partner shared intimate moments and kisses.
Now they found another Mrs 'cause we lost him to a D I Y
Both partners lost each other to the 'D I Y' situation.
Some women feel if you put her on a seal it will keep your fella out of reach
Attempts to control a partner's actions or choices often fail.
But it ain't no soul you can grab them from below
No strategy or method can guarantee keeping a partner if they choose to leave.
That's a lesson every woman can teach
It's a lesson applicable to every woman.
But my man was just the sort you could trust
The singer's partner was typically trustworthy.
You could look a fella right in the eye
It was easy to trust the partner; they seemed honest.
If it wasn't for deceiving
Deception led to the partner leaving suddenly.
But suddenly he was leaving 'cause we lost him to a D I Y
The 'D I Y' situation caused the loss of the relationship.
D, she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
Reiteration of 'D' being determined to take the partner.
I, if you're idle enough they can steal from the very first dance
Re-emphasizing that being idle or negligent can result in losing a partner.
Y, she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
Highlighting the allure of youth and beauty in contrast to the singer.
But we gave them all our kisses
Sharing intimate moments and kisses again.
Now they found another Mrs 'cause we lost him to a D I Y
Reiteration that both partners lost each other due to 'D I Y'.
