After All
Love's Unraveling: Reflections on a Journey
Lyrics
After all, everything that we've been through
Reflecting on the entirety of our shared experiences
I thought my love for you was true
Expressing a belief that the love felt was genuine
After all
Reiterating the sentiment expressed in the first line
Honeymoon glasses
Evoking a romantic setting or atmosphere
Butterfly magic (Butterfly magic in your eyes)
Describing a magical and enchanting feeling, particularly in the eyes
Then you took me by surprise
Expressing surprise or unexpected actions taken by the partner
With you, I see my future in your eyes (in your eyes) It suddenly you pull away
Seeing a future together, but encountering a sudden emotional distance
Won't let me inside
Feeling rejected or denied access to the partner's emotions
After all, everything that we've been through
Repeating the acknowledgment of shared experiences
I thought my love for you was true
Expressing a sense of disillusionment about the authenticity of love
After all
Reiterating the sentiment expressed in the third line
Where did we go wrong
Questioning where the relationship took a wrong turn
To only make it this far (Only this far)
Reflecting on the limited progress made in the relationship
Did I do something to upset you?
Expressing doubt and concern about causing distress to the partner
I should've known
Expressing a realization of a change in the partner's emotional state
When you went cold
Recognizing emotional distance in the partner's behavior
That in a second you'd let me go
Anticipating a sudden end to the relationship
And in a minute I'd be alone
Expecting to be left alone shortly after the emotional distance
After all, everything that we've been through
Repeating the acknowledgment of shared experiences
I thought my love for you was true
Expressing disappointment and realization that love may not have been true
After all
Reiterating the sentiment expressed in the third and 14th lines
