Girlfriend
Revelations of Love Lost: The Darkness' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Girl I know I've got a funny way of showing it
Expressing awareness of unconventional behavior in demonstrating love.
Yes, I thought our love was here to stay and blowing it
Believing that the love was enduring but realizing it's falling apart.
Was never on my agenda
Denying any intention to end the relationship.
She meant nothing to me, I meant nothing to her
Claiming emotional detachment from someone who was equally detached.
Now I realize it's over, I just got to tell you
Acknowledging the end of the relationship and the need to communicate it.
Girlfriend I love you, I love you, I love you so much
Repeatedly expressing profound love for the girlfriend.
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
-I love you, I love you, I love you, so much so much
-Girl, I know I ripped your heart right out so why pretend
Admitting to causing emotional pain and recognizing the inevitable breakup.
That there is even a shadow of doubt that it's the end
Rejecting any uncertainty about the relationship's termination.
Why the hell are we breaking our necks
Questioning the rationale for putting immense effort into the breakup.
When there's hardly any sex sex!
Highlighting a lack of intimacy and passion in the relationship.
To simplify something that's extremely complex
Critiquing the attempt to simplify a complex relationship.
You were my girlfriend, now you're my ex
Acknowledging the transition from girlfriend to ex-girlfriend.

Reiterating intense love for the girlfriend with musical enthusiasm.
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
-I love you, I love you, I love you, so much so much
-Listen to my synthesizer!
Encouraging attention to a synthesizer, possibly indicating a musical shift.
Girlfriend I love you, I love you, I love you so much
Continuing the expression of deep affection for the girlfriend.
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
-I love you, I love you, I love you, so much so much
-Girlfriend I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
Repeating the declaration of love with increasing emphasis.
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
-I love you, I love you, I love you, so much so much
