That's What He Said
Echoes of Promises: Love's Deceptive Melody
Lyrics
You tell me that you're always gonna love me
You claim your eternal love for me
But that's what he said
Similar promises were made by someone else
That's what he said
Reiteration of the previous statement
And forever is a word
'Forever' is a powerful commitment
That should mean something
It should carry significant meaning and weight
But that's what he said
Reiteration of the previous statement about commitment
That's what he said
Emphasizing the similarity to the previous situation
You're telling me the same sweet things he told me
You're repeating the same sweet words another person used
And in your eyes I see that same sweet glow
I can see the same loving expression in your eyes
And did you say you'd never leave me lonely
You promised not to leave me alone
Well that's what he said
Reiteration of the previous statement
That's what he said
Stressing the similarity to the past promises
You're telling me I've got to go on living
You're advising me to continue living
To open up my heart and just let go
To open my heart and move forward
And it's better to love and lose
Expressing the idea that it's better to have loved and lost
Then live with nothing
Than to live with nothing at all
But that's what he said
Highlighting the repetition of advice from a previous person
That's what he said
Reiteration of the previous statement
That's what he said
Repetition for emphasis
That's what he said
Reiteration for emphasis
