I Forgot to Be Your Lover
Apologies in Melody: Rediscovering Love's Forgotten Symphony
Lyrics
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Expressing love and checking if it has been communicated recently.
Well, if I didn't darling, I'm sorry
Apologizing for any lapse in expressing love if it has occurred.
Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms
Reflecting on physical closeness and comfort provided in the past.
Oh, when you needed me?
Questioning if support was given when needed.
Now I realize that you need love too
Realizing the partner's need for love and committing to fulfilling it.
And I'll spend my life making love to you
Dedicating one's life to making love and maintaining the relationship.
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
Admitting the failure to fulfill the role of a lover.
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Expressing remorse for forgetting to be a lover.
Have I taken the time to share with you
Questioning if emotional burdens have been shared in the relationship.
All the burdens that lovers bear?
Acknowledging the challenges that come with being in love.
And have I done the little simple things to show you
Asking if simple gestures of love and care have been demonstrated.
Just how much I care?
Expressing a desire to show deep care and affection.
Oh, I've been working for you doing all I can
Working hard to provide for the partner and fulfill responsibilities.
But work all the time didn't make me a man
Reflecting on the realization that work alone doesn't define manhood.
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
Reiterating the admission of forgetting to be a lover.
And I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you somehow, baby
Expressing a commitment to make amends and fulfill the lover's role.
I forgot to be your lover, I'm so sorry
Repeating the acknowledgment of forgetting to be a lover.
I forgot to be your lover
Affirming the realization of the lapse in the lover's role.
Gonna make it up to you somehow, baby
Committing to make up for the lapse in being a lover.
