Death of Me
Love's Turmoil: The Stone Foxes' Tale of Heartbreak
Lyrics
I aint got the time baby,
I don't have the time to transform you into a woman.
To make a woman out of you,
You don't have the time to turn me into a man.
And you aint got the time baby,
They say young love should be easy, but it's not shaping up that way.
To make a man, out of me,
This love is going to be the death of me.
They say all this young love,
Sent her away, hoping she would return, but the love is challenging.
Is supposed to be easy free,
Repeats the situation of sending someone away and yearning for their return.
But that aint the way that it's shaping up baby,
Emphasizes the difficulties and challenges in the relationship.
This love'll be, the death of me.
The love experienced is intense and potentially harmful.
I sent her away to the old tarmac,
Expresses the emotional pain of separation.
Now I cry every night hoping she come back,
The speaker cries every night, longing for the person to come back.
This love...
Reiteration of the theme of difficult love.
I sent her away to the old tarmac,
Reflects the ongoing pain of sending someone away.
Now I cry every night hoping she come back,
Continues to emphasize the emotional impact of separation.
This love'll be the death of me.
The love is so intense that it could lead to the speaker's demise.
Talking at me, till you're blue,
Describes being overwhelmed by someone talking incessantly.
Feel like I'm in the eye of a hurricane,
Feels like being in the midst of a chaotic and destructive situation.
Think I'll book a room for ya, way downtown,
Considering drastic actions, like booking a room downtown, to alleviate pain.
And drop you there, just to ease my pain,
Planning to distance oneself to ease emotional suffering.
But as I drive away, as I pull up for the light,
The person remains a significant presence even when physically apart.
You're the only sign I see,
The person is a constant thought, making it challenging to move on.
I can't go on, and I can't go back,
Feeling stuck and unable to move forward or return to the past.
This love'll be the death of me.
The intensity of love is reiterated, suggesting it may be harmful.
I sent her away to the old tarmac,
Repeats the theme of sending someone away and the resulting pain.
Now I cry every night hoping she come back,
Continuation of the emotional distress caused by separation.
This love...
Restates the idea that the intense love could lead to the speaker's demise.
I sent her away to the old tarmac,
Reiterates the emotional struggle of sending someone away.
Now I cry every night hoping she come back,
Continues to express the nightly yearning for the person's return.
This love'll be the death of me.
Emphasizes the potentially destructive nature of the intense love.
The death of me...I can’t believe how you changed
The love is so challenging that it feels like it's causing a transformation in the speaker.
one me,
The person has changed in a way that surprises and affects the speaker.
You changed on me, you changed on me, you changed on me...
Repetition of the theme of the person changing unexpectedly.
You changed on me
Emphasizes the impact of the person's unexpected change on the speaker.
