Love in vain
Echoes of Heartbreak: Unveiling the Painful Tale Behind 'Love in Vain'
Lyrics
Don´t bring up the past it cuts like a knife
Warning not to bring up painful memories, as it hurts deeply.
The days that we had was the time of my life
The past relationship was the best time in the speaker's life.
But i never let it show and you don´t really wanna know
The speaker concealed their emotions, and the partner may not want to know the truth.
So don´t ask no questions and i´ll tell no lies
Encouraging not to inquire about the speaker's experiences and pain.
About how i´ve been and why those tired eyes
Reference to the weariness and the reasons behind the tired eyes.
Can no longer hide the secrets in my mind
The speaker's mind holds secrets that can no longer be hidden.
Oh oh why oh why won´t it let go after a lifetime of runnin´
Expressing the difficulty of letting go of the past after a lifetime of running away.
Feelin´s still grow
Despite the passage of time, emotions continue to intensify.
What a waste of love all gone down the drain
Regret over a love that ended badly, describing it as a waste.
Now i´m tellin´ you my life story
The speaker is sharing their life story.
It´s sad but it´ s all ´bout a man in pain
The story revolves around a man experiencing profound emotional pain.
And a love in vain
Reiterating the theme of a love that was ultimately in vain.
Sometimes you´re gone for months or a year
Describing periods of absence, either physically or emotionally.
But then again from outa nowhere
Unexpected return of emotional pain.
Maybe in the still of the night
Possibly referring to moments of quiet reflection or vulnerability.
Next time at a traffic light
Suggesting that emotional pain can resurface unexpectedly.
Yeah i never know when the hurt is gonna come
The speaker is uncertain about when emotional pain will strike.
I only know it´s just a matter of time
Anticipating the inevitability of painful memories resurfacing.
Before memories are comin´ ´ round
The return of memories and emotional instability.
And i´m back on shaky ground
Returning to a state of emotional vulnerability.
Solo
Solo section, possibly representing a moment of introspection or reflection.
Now the sky ain´t that blue and the sun don´t shine so bright
Describing a change in the speaker's perception of the world after a breakup.
Since your leavin´ has changed my livin´
The departure of a loved one has negatively impacted the speaker's life.
Nowadays my old face ain´t no pleasent sight
The speaker's appearance reflects the emotional toll of the separation.
I´ve been to places done all kinds of things
Having tried various experiences to forget, but the emotional scars persist.
To whip out the traces and to break the strings
Attempts to erase the past and break free from emotional ties.
But all through the years i´ve lied
Admission of a history of deception.
And i´m still cryin´ inside
Despite the passing years, internal suffering continues.
Oh oh why oh why won´t it let go after a lifetime of runnin´
Reiteration of the struggle to let go of the past and the persistence of feelings.
Feelin´s still grow
Continued growth of emotions despite the passage of time.
What a waste of love all gone down the drain
Reflection on the waste of a love that has ended.
Now i´m tellin´ you my life story
Reiteration that the speaker is sharing their life story.
It´s sad but it´s all ´bout a man in pain
Emphasis on the sadness of the man's experience and emotional pain.
And a love in vain
Final mention of love that was ultimately in vain.
