What About the Love We Made
Unraveling Bonds: What About the Love We Made
Lyrics
That old picture goes with your things
Referring to personal belongings associated with memories of the past relationship.
The rocking chair goes with mine
Highlighting the separation of personal spaces, symbolized by the rocking chair.
You can take the bed and have the TV
Division of shared items, suggesting a physical and emotional separation.
And I'll keep the stereo if you don't mind
Expressing a desire to retain some aspects of shared experiences, like music.
Separated everything between us
Emphasizing the extent of the separation between the two individuals.
It's the kindness that we've long long time
Acknowledging the kindness that existed between them for a long time.
But there's still one thing left between us
Despite kindness, there's an unresolved issue or emotion lingering between them.
And we don't know what to do I wonder if we thought this through
Raising questions about the consequences of their decisions and whether they considered them.
What about the love we made
Pondering the fate of the love they shared amidst the separation.
She's upstairs in her room crying over me and you
Describing the emotional impact on a third party, likely a child, affected by the separation.
Though we never meant to hurt her this way
Expressing regret for unintentionally causing pain to the third party.
We've divided everything me and you
Reiterating the division of everything between the two individuals.
Even her heart right in two
Highlighting the emotional toll on the third party, particularly on their heart.
What about the love we made
Pleading for consideration of the love shared amidst the material separation.
We told her at least a thousand times that we love her
Reassuring the third party of continued love, despite the separation.
And no matter what happens that wont' change
Emphasizing the enduring nature of parental love regardless of circumstances.
But who can blame her if she won't believe us
Recognizing the difficulty for the third party to believe in the reassurance.
Aren't we the same ones who told her she'd never see this day
Acknowledging the irony of their previous assurances to the third party.
It filled us both with shame when she told her dolly
Reflecting on the shame felt when the third party expressed concern to a doll.
"now promise me that you won't leave me too"
Recalling a poignant moment when the third party sought promises from a doll.
And it was more than I could take when she said mommy
Expressing emotional distress when the third party addressed them as "mommy."
If there's something I've done wrong then I'll be good for you
Quoting the third party's willingness to correct any perceived wrongdoing for the sake of the relationship.
What about the love we made
Reiterating the plea to consider the love shared amid the challenges.
She's up stairs in her room crying over me an dyou
Repeating the emotional impact on the third party, who is still affected.
Though we never meant to hurt her this way
Reiterating the unintentional hurt caused to the third party.
We've divided everything me and you
Highlighting the complete division between the two individuals, affecting the third party deeply.
Even her heart right in two
Emphasizing the emotional toll on the third party, particularly on their heart.
What about the love we made
Pleading once again for consideration of the love shared amidst the separation.
