Sweetheart
Lost Love Symphony: The Heartbreak Ballad by The Humble Cartel
Lyrics
Oh darlin', the night sky is shinin' and starlit
Expressing admiration for the night sky and its starlit appearance.
The moon lights on her lips of scarlet
Describing the beauty of the person's lips under the moonlight.
And I'm made weak
Feeling emotionally vulnerable or powerless.
I'm fallin', and I've always kinda liked how that feels
Enjoying the feeling of falling, possibly in love, and finding it pleasant.
Her legs in some wedges or heels
Noting the attractiveness of the person's legs in fashionable footwear.
Have made men weep
Highlighting the impact of the person's appearance on others.
Sweetheart
Addressing the person affectionately as "Sweetheart."
Can we please go back to the start
Expressing a desire to return to the beginning of the relationship.
Or somethin' resemblin' that part
Hoping for a fresh start or something reminiscent of the initial stages.
This can't be the end
Expressing concern that the current situation cannot be the end of the relationship.
I need her, and Lord knows I'd never mistreat her
Stating a deep need for the person and a commitment to treating them well.
'Cause nothin' could ever be sweeter
Comparing the sweetness of the relationship to candy and wine.
Not candy, nor wine
Affirming the uniqueness and sweetness of the relationship.
And she knows it, she's colder than Moscow in winter
Describing the person as emotionally distant or cold.
The love that was there, now has splintered
Noting that the love has deteriorated and ended, using the metaphor of splintering and dying on the vine.
And died on the vine
Continuing the metaphor of the relationship's decline.
Oh sweetheart
Repeating the term "Sweetheart" to address the person again.
You've made me a broken man
Expressing the emotional impact of the person on the speaker, feeling broken.
I held your love, and it slipped right through these hands
Describing the loss of the person's love and the speaker's inability to hold onto it.
These cold, cold hands
Emphasizing the emotional coldness or detachment in the speaker's hands.
What can I possibly do, to make you understand
Pleading for understanding about the depth of the speaker's commitment and willingness to fulfill any demands.
The depths that I would travel to
Expressing a willingness to go to great lengths for the relationship.
To supply every demand
Continuing the theme of meeting the person's needs and demands.
Oh sweetheart
Repeating the term "Sweetheart" to address the person again.
You've made me a broken man
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person, feeling broken.
Sweetheart
Repeating the term "Sweetheart" to address the person again.
Why did we grow apart
Questioning the reasons for growing apart from the person.
And if you would, could we please restart, all over again
Expressing a desire to restart the relationship from the beginning.
Sweetheart
Repeating the term "Sweetheart" to end the lyrics.
