Lyrics
If I know one thing, that's true
The speaker acknowledges a certain truth.
It ain't what you say, it's what you do
Actions hold more significance than mere words.
And you don't say much, yeah, that's true
Someone doesn't communicate much verbally.
But I listen when you do
The speaker pays close attention when that person does speak.
A thousand years go by
Time passes, but love endures.
But love don't die
Love is enduring and doesn't fade away.
If I know one thing, that's true
The speaker commits to staying with someone.
Instead I'm never leaving you
An affirmation of loyalty and commitment.
And you don't say much, yeah, that's true
Similar to before, the person doesn't speak much.
But I lose it when you do
The speaker gets emotional when the person does speak.
Don't let them tell no lie
Emphasizes the truthfulness of love despite rumors or lies.
Love don't die
Love prevails despite attempts to undermine it.
No matter where we go
Regardless of circumstances or choices.
Or even if we don't
Even if the relationship doesn't continue.
And even if they try
Others may attempt to separate, but they won't succeed.
They'll never take my body from your side
A pledge to stay connected physically and emotionally.
Love don't die
Love is resilient and enduring.
If there is one thing, that's true
The speaker emphasizes actions over words again.
It's not what I say, it's what I do
The speaker admits to speaking excessively.
And I say too much, yeah, that's true
Recognizing a personal flaw in communication.
So just listen to what I do
Suggests paying attention to actions rather than words.
A thousand years go by
Reiterating the enduring nature of love despite time.
But love don't die
Love remains steadfast and unchanging.
No matter where we go
Repetition of the idea that love endures despite circumstances.
Or even if we don't
Emphasizes the continuity or discontinuity of the relationship.
And even if they try
Others may try to separate, but they won't succeed.
They'll never take my body from your side
A commitment to remaining together.
Love don't die
Love remains unbreakable.
She can break it up
Attempts to damage or separate the love.
Shake your money down
Efforts to diminish the significance of love.
You can box it in
Trying to hide or discard love.
Bury it in the ground
Concealing love away from others.
You can close it off and turn it away
Ignoring or rejecting love.
Try to keep it down, six feet in the ground
Trying to bury love, yet it persists.
But love don't die
Love cannot be extinguished.
No matter where we go
Reiterates the idea of love's resilience.
Or even if we don't
Emphasizes the potential continuation or end of the relationship.
And even if they try
Others may attempt to separate, but they won't succeed.
They'll never take my body from your side
A vow to stay connected regardless of external influences.
Love don't die
Love remains unyielding.
No matter where we go
Repetition to reinforce the idea of love's enduring nature.
Or even if we don't
Regardless of the relationship's continuity.
I'd like to watch them try
Challenging others who might try to interfere.
They'll never take my body from your side
Asserting the impossibility of separating the love.
Love don't die
Love remains indestructible and eternal.
