Lyrics
Pride, sad, splendid liar,
Pride, a deceptive and impressive quality, is described as a sorrowful and splendid liar.
Sworn enemy of love
Characterizing pride as an avowed adversary of love.
Kept my lips from saying
Referring to the suppression of true feelings by keeping silent.
Things I was thinking of.
Acknowledging unspoken thoughts that were concealed.
But now my pride you've humbled,
Expressing the humbling of pride by external forces.
I've cast it to the winds,
Indicating the abandonment of pride, letting it be carried away by the winds.
Broken, beaten, sick at heart
Describing a state of emotional distress, being shattered and defeated.
My confession begins.
Initiating a confession of true feelings.
We've played the game of stay away
Reflecting on a past avoidance game in a relationship.
But it cost more that I can pay.
Highlighting the high cost paid for playing the game of staying apart.
Without you I can't make my way,
Expressing dependence on the other person for navigating life.
I surrender, dear.
Declaring a surrender to the significant other.
I may seem proud, I may act gay,
Admitting that outward appearances may not reflect true emotions.
It's just a pose, I'm not that way,
Clarifying that a certain demeanor is a facade and not an authentic representation.
'Cause deep down in my heart I say
Affirming genuine emotions hidden deep within the heart.
I surrender, dear.
Reiterating the surrender to the beloved.
Little mean things we were doing
Recalling past actions that may have been unkind but were likely part of a romantic game.
Must have been part of the game,
Suggesting that these actions added excitement to the pursuit of love.
Lending a spice to the wooing,
Acknowledging that blame for past actions is irrelevant.
But I don't care who's to blame.
When stars appear and shadows fall,
Describing a poignant moment marked by the appearance of stars and the onset of shadows.
Why then you'll hear My poor heart call,
Predicting a heartfelt call when such moments occur.
To you my love, my life, my all
Expressing a deep connection, surrendering everything to the beloved.
I surrender, dear.
Reaffirming the surrender of love, life, and all to the significant other.
We've played the game of stay away
Repeating the theme of a past relationship game with the consequence of high cost.
But it cost more that I can pay.
Reiterating the inability to move forward without the other person.
Without you I can't make my way,
Emphasizing the necessity of the beloved for personal progression.
I surrender, dear.
Declaring surrender once again.
I may seem proud, I may act gay,
Acknowledging the potential misinterpretation of pride and cheerfulness.
It's just a pose, I'm not that way,
Clarifying that these are masks and not reflective of true feelings.
'Cause deep down in my heart I say
Reiterating the genuine surrender rooted in the heart.
I surrender, dear.
Expressing the surrender once more.
Little mean things we were doing
Recalling past actions and attributing them to the dynamics of the romantic game.
Must have been part of the game,
Reiterating that assigning blame for those actions is inconsequential.
Lending a spice to the wooing,
But I don't care who's to blame.
Indifferent to assigning blame for past actions in the pursuit of love.
When stars appear And shadows fall,
Why then you'll hear My poor heart call,
Anticipating a heartfelt call during moments of celestial beauty and shadowy descent.
To you my love, my life, my all
Reiterating the surrender of everything to the beloved.
