I'm Through With Love
Breaking Free: A Heart's Liberation from Love's Chains
Lyrics
I'm thru with love,
Expressing a decision to end romantic involvement with love.
I'll never fall again.
Declaring a resolution to avoid falling in love again.
Said I do to love,
Agreed to commit to love previously.
Don't ever call again.
Urging love not to make contact anymore.
For I must have you
Desiring either a specific person or no one at all.
Or no one.
Stating a preference for a particular individual or no romantic attachment.
That's why I'm thru with love.
Reaffirming the decision to distance oneself from love.
I've locked my heart.
Choosing not to expose emotions or vulnerabilities.
I keep my feelings there.
Keeping personal emotions guarded and protected.
I have stopped my heart
Halting emotional openness akin to freezing one's feelings.
Like an icy frigidaire.
Comparing the locked heart to a cold and unfeeling refrigerator.
For I need to care for no one.
Expressing self-sufficiency, not needing to care for anyone.
That's why I'm thru with love.
Reiterating the decision to end involvement with love.
Why did you leave me
Questioning why the person left, believing they had feelings.
To think that you cared.
Realizing that the person may not have required the speaker.
You didn't need me.
Acknowledging the person had other people devoted to them.
You have your share
Recognizing the person's numerous admirers.
of slaves around you
Implies the presence of individuals surrounding the person.
To hound you and swear
Stating others' fervent declarations of love and loyalty.
Their deep devotion.
Emphasizing the depth of others' emotions towards the person.
Emotion.
Referring to intense feelings.
Did you good by the spring
Reflecting on past memories associated with the spring season.
And all it meant to me
Contemplating the significance of spring to the speaker.
a good neighbor
Referencing a time when the person was kind and neighborly.
The things that used to be.
Recalling past experiences and connections.
For I must have you or no one.
Reaffirming the need for a specific person or no one at all.
That's why I'm thru with love.
Restating the decision to distance oneself from love.
That's why I'm thru with love.
Reiterating the finality of the decision to end involvement with love.
