Let's Face It
Love's Evolution: Navigating Change and Heartache
Lyrics
Let's face it
Acknowledging a reality
Things aren't the same as they were
Highlighting a change from the past
There's no need to read in between the lines, girl,
There's no need to overanalyze, changes are evident
To see that looks have changed, fashions change
Physical appearances and trends have evolved
Girls are wearing shorter skirts
Describing changes in clothing style
Than they did last year
Comparing present attire with the past
Sooner or later
Implying an inevitable eventuality
Someone will say the dark words
Anticipating someone ending the relationship
"I'll see you later.
Expressing a dismissive farewell
Forget all the sweet talk you heard, boy"
Disregarding previous affectionate words
Fighting is all
Emphasizing continuous conflict
Fighting is all that we do
Reiterating the prevalent fighting in the relationship
And though I truly adore you (I love you still)
Despite conflicts, expressing enduring love
And I don't don't want to see you go (I love you still)
Reaffirming love despite potential separation
And you know I live for you (I still love you)
Declaring devotion despite ongoing issues
Oh, let's face it girl:
Directly addressing the girl to confront reality
Chocolate and flowers
Symbolizing typical romantic gestures
Can't keep a heartache in line
Indicating inability of gestures to mend heartache
Cities change
Pointing out changes in the urban landscape
Names of streets are not the same
Specifically noting alterations in street names
Girls are driving faster cars
Highlighting changes in women's possessions
Than they did last year
Comparing present vehicles with the past
So many times we tried
Referencing attempts to reconcile
So many times you walked out
Highlighting the partner's repeated departure
How can we turn the tide?
Expressing a struggle to change the situation
It's getting so high I can't hold on
Feeling overwhelmed by the escalating conflict
Fighting is all
Reiterating the continuous nature of conflict
Fighting is all that we do
Emphasizing the persisting fighting in the relationship
And I truly, I adore you (I love you still)
Reaffirming enduring love despite ongoing struggles
And I don't ever want to see you go (I love you still)
Expressing reluctance toward separation
And you know I'll wait for you (I still love you!)
Commitment to wait despite challenges
But let's face it girl
Reiterating the need to confront reality
Oh, let's face it girl
Repeating the call to face the truth
Chocolate and flowers
Emphasizing the ineffectiveness of romantic gestures
Can't keep a heartache in [line]
Stating the inability of traditional gestures to heal heartache
