Strange I Know
Love's Departure: A Melancholic Journey in 'Strange I Know'
Lyrics
It's strange, I know
Expressing acknowledgment of an unusual situation or feeling.
But that's the way it goes
Acceptance of the natural course of events, even if they are challenging.
Leaving you this way, I'm sorry to say
Regretfully informing about the decision to leave in this manner.
That my love has faded, faded away
Conveying that love has diminished and disappeared.
It happened while you were gone
Describing the occurrence of the fading love during the person's absence.
You stayed away too long
Blaming the prolonged absence for the relationship's deterioration.
You didn't write or even call
Highlighting the lack of communication during the separation.
I thought you didn't care at all
Expressing the belief that the partner didn't show concern or affection.
I was sad as I could be
Describing personal sadness during the partner's absence.
The same boy who's fella to me
Identifying another person who became significant during the separation.
But oh how I tried to resist him
Recalling efforts to resist the newfound attraction.
(Oh how I tried to resist him)
(Repeated) Reiterating the struggle to resist the temptation.
But my heart told me to keep him
Listening to the heart's inclination to keep the newfound connection.
(My heart told me to keep him)
(Repeated) Acknowledging the heart's insistence on maintaining the new relationship.
It's strange, I know, but that's the way it goes
(Repeated) Reiterating the acknowledgment of the strange nature of the situation.
Leaving you this way, I'm sorry to say
(Repeated) Reiterating the regretful communication of leaving in this manner.
When you get home, I'll be gone
Informing that the person will no longer be there upon the partner's return.
Asked my papa for your letter that I put aside
Indicating a request to the partner's father for a letter left aside.
When you finish the letter, I'll be Eddie's bride
Stating an intention to marry someone named Eddie after reading the letter.
It's strange, I know, but that's the way it goes
(Repeated) Reiterating the acknowledgment of the strange nature of the situation.
Leaving you this way, but that's the way it goes
(Repeated) Reiterating the regretful communication of leaving in this manner.
It's strange, I know
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the unusual nature of the situation.
But that's the way
Emphasizing that the described situation is the way things are.
That's the way
(Repeated) Affirming that the described situation is the way it goes.
That's the way
-That's the way it goes
-Oh it's strange I know
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the strangeness of the situation.
