Don't Give up on Love
Embracing Hope Amid Heartbreak: "Don't Give Up on Love" by Reckless Kelly
Lyrics
I watched you suffer from afar when you left that night
I observed your suffering from a distance when you left that night.
I knew you'd never leave him even though he'd never treat you right
I knew you wouldn't leave him despite his mistreatment of you.
But you can't miss something that you've never known
You can't feel the absence of something you've never experienced.
And he kept you believing love was always this cold
He made you believe love was always cold, keeping you in that mindset.
Baby don't give up on love
Encouraging the person not to give up on love despite past pain.
Somebody hurt you but I ain't the one
Acknowledging that someone else has hurt the person, but the speaker is not the cause of that pain.
I'll be here when the sun comes up and the others are gone
Commitment to be there for the person when the morning comes and others have left.
When the others have gone
Reinforcing the idea of staying when others have departed.
Baby don't give up on love
Reiteration of the plea not to give up on love.
I hear you run a little hot but you used to be a good girl
Acknowledging the person's passionate nature, contrasting with their past identity as a good girl.
He made you something you're not when he pulled you in to his world
Describing how the partner changed the person, molding them into something they are not.
Then he left you all alone with your brand new life
The partner left the person alone with a new life they didn't choose.
When he cut out and run without saying goodbye
He departed without a goodbye, leaving the person in solitude.
Baby don't give up on love
Repetition of the plea not to give up on love despite past hardships.
Somebody hurt you but I ain't the one
Reiteration that someone else caused pain, but the speaker is not responsible.
I'll be here when the sun comes up and the others are gone
Commitment to be there when others have left, emphasizing reliability.
When the others have gone
Emphasizing the importance of staying when others have departed.
Baby don't give up on love
Repeating the plea not to give up on love, underscoring its significance.
Baby don't give up on love
Continuing the plea not to give up on love, emphasizing its importance.
Somebody hurt you but I ain't the one
Reiterating that someone else caused pain, and the speaker is not the cause.
I'll be here when the sun comes up and the others are gone
Reassurance of being there when others have left, providing constancy.
When the others have gone
Highlighting the speaker's commitment when others have departed.
Baby don't give up on
Repetition of the plea not to give up on love, underscoring its significance.
Baby don't give up on
Repetition of the plea not to give up on love, emphasizing its importance.
Baby give up on love
An ironic twist, suggesting a reversal by advising to give up on love.
