Awful Thing
Love Betrayed: Unraveling the Depths of Heartbreak
Lyrics
What an awful thing to say
Expressing disapproval of a hurtful statement.
When you just won't get your way
Highlighting frustration when desires are not fulfilled.
There was nothing I could do
Conveying helplessness in a situation.
I was so in love with you
Acknowledging deep affection for the person despite difficulties.
You said you'd rather see me dead
Recalling a hurtful statement about preferring death.
Those awful things mess with my head
Expressing the emotional impact of hurtful words.
And although my love was true
Affirming genuine love despite challenges.
I can't forgive the things you do
Struggling with the inability to forgive harmful actions.
Baby
Addressing the person with a term of endearment.
You're a mess and I'm depressed
Characterizing the person as troubled and causing sadness.
You don't deserve me in my Sunday best
Declaring that the person doesn't deserve the speaker's best.
How can we love with so much hurt
Questioning the possibility of love amidst pain.
You know you threw my love in the dirt
Expressing disappointment in the person's treatment of love.
You know I hate it when you drink
Expressing dislike for the person's drinking habits.
You piss me off when you don't think
Being upset when the person acts without consideration.
Smoke cigarettes that rot your teeth
Disapproving of unhealthy habits like smoking.
But I loved what's underneath
Admiring the positive qualities beneath external behaviors.
It's just not fair to live in lies
Rejecting the unfairness of living in deception.
Still talk to girls that I despise
Expressing discomfort with the person's associations.
And although my love was always true
Reiterating the sincerity of love despite challenges.
I can't forgive the things you do
Struggling with the inability to forgive repeated actions.
Baby
Addressing the person with a term of endearment (repeated).
You're a mess and I'm depressed
Characterizing the person as troubled and causing sadness (repeated).
You don't deserve me in my Sunday best
Declaring that the person doesn't deserve the speaker's best (repeated).
How can we love with so much hurt
Questioning the possibility of love amidst pain (repeated).
You know you threw my love in the dirt
Expressing disappointment in the person's treatment of love (repeated).
