I’ll Be Back
Love's Resilience: The Cycle of Heartbreak and Return
Lyrics
You know it you break my heart
You understand that you have caused me emotional pain.
I’ll go but I’ll be back again
I may leave temporarily, but I intend to return.
'Cause I told you once before good-bye
Previously, I said goodbye to you.
But I came back again
Despite saying goodbye, I returned.
I love you so – I’m the one who wants you
Expressing deep affection; I am the one who desires you.
Yes I’m the one who wants you, oh, oh, oh, oh
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the desire for you.
You could find better things to do
Suggesting that there are better uses of time than causing me emotional pain again.
Than to break my heart again
Advising against repeating the action of breaking my heart.
This time I will try to show
Committing to demonstrate sincerity this time.
That I’m not trying to pretend
Affirming that the intention is genuine and not pretense.
I thought that you would realize
Expecting the realization that running away was a test.
That if I ran away from you
If I had distanced myself, you would realize my value.
That you would want me too
Anticipating that you would miss me in my absence.
But I got a big surprise oh, oh
Expressing surprise at the unexpected outcome.
Oh, you could find better things to do
Reiterating the suggestion to avoid causing heartbreak.
Than to break my heart again
Reaffirming the commitment to sincerity.
This time I will try to show
Continuing the promise to demonstrate genuine feelings.
That I’m not trying to pretend
Reiterating the sincerity and absence of pretense.
I wanna go, but I hate to leave you
Expressing a desire to leave, but with reluctance.
You know, I hate to leave you oh, oh
Emphasizing the emotional difficulty of parting.
Oh, you if you break my heart, I’ll go
If you cause me emotional pain, I will leave.
But I’ll be back again
Despite leaving, I have the intention to return.
