When You Ain't Got Love
Embracing Life's Void: When Love Fades AwayLyrics
When you ain't got love
Life is challenging when devoid of love.
You got cigarettes
Cigarettes serve as a substitute or distraction in the absence of love.
You just play it cool
Projecting a calm demeanor despite inner turmoil.
As if you got no regrets
Acting carefree while concealing feelings of remorse.
You got some change in your pocket
Having some money on hand.
Some cash to burn
Disposable income available for enjoyment.
May as well feel as good as you can
Embracing pleasure because of a lack of alternatives.
Because you got no place to turn
Feeling trapped with nowhere to seek solace.
When you ain't got love
Reiterating the challenges of life without love.
When you ain't got love
Emphasizing the hardships when love is absent.
You ain't got jack
Having nothing of value when love is lacking.
Everybody cept you
Feeling isolated in the awareness that love is elusive.
Knows love ain't comin' back
Acknowledging that love won't return for the speaker.
You got that TV dinner
Indulging in convenience, symbolized by a TV dinner.
In the microwave
Modern comforts requiring minimal effort.
Ain't got to clean up after yourself
Experiencing freedom from responsibility without love.
You got no reason to behave
Behaving without restraint due to the absence of love.
When you ain't got love
Reiterating the challenges of life without love.
When you ain't got love
Highlighting the difficulties when love is absent.
Love's with someone new
Love has moved on to someone else.
You say eh, she's his problem now
Accepting the reality that love is another person's concern now.
But that don't really change the truth
Recognizing that the situation remains unchanged despite denial.
You got a heart full of what if?
Contemplating possibilities that can't be explored.
But you can't go there
Being unable to confront certain emotional aspects.
So you tell your feet to put some skip in your step
Putting on a facade of carefree movement despite inner struggles.
As if you haven't got a care
Pretending not to have worries or concerns.
When you ain't got love
Reiterating the challenges of life without love.
