Lyrics
I heard you say you would love for a lifetime
The speaker recalls a commitment to eternal love.
Now you complain a lifetime just doesn't feel right for you
Expressing dissatisfaction with the perceived inadequacy of a lifetime commitment.
Another casualty of casual love
Describing the negative impact of superficial, non-committal love.
Another soul out of place, a heart that gave up
Depicting someone feeling out of place and emotionally defeated.
Why do we break the promises we make?
Raising a question about breaking promises and the motivations behind our actions.
Are we living for ourselves?
Pondering whether individuals are prioritizing self-interest over commitment.
Don't give up on love and throw it all away
Encouraging perseverance in love, discouraging giving up and abandoning it.
Don't give up on love and let it fall away
Reiterating the plea not to let love fade away despite challenges.
When did it become so easy to run from your pain?
Questioning when it became easy to avoid emotional pain by running away.
Don't give up on love and throw it all away
Reiterating the importance of not abandoning love, emphasizing perseverance.
I heard you say you can't change a stubborn heart
Recalling a statement about the difficulty of changing a stubborn heart.
I can relate 'cause that's how I feel when I talk with you
Expressing personal connection to the challenge of communicating with someone.
Why should it take losing everything
Questioning the necessity of losing everything to recognize the need for change.
To realize it might be time to change?
Highlighting the realization that significant losses may prompt the need for change.
Your restless heart won't win 'cause you take but you don't give
Conveying the idea that a self-centered and unreciprocal heart won't lead to victory.
And you'll keep moving on until you learn what love is
Suggesting a perpetual cycle of moving on until one understands the true nature of love.
