Dalliance
Love's Dilemma: Longing and Regret in 'Dalliance'
Lyrics
You've told him lies now for so long
You have been dishonest with him for an extended period.
Yet still he's ready to forgive
Despite your lies, he is willing to forgive you.
He's got you back and that's all he wants
He has your back, and that's all he desires.
A lot more than I'm left with
I am left with much less than what he has in the relationship.
You don't care now that you're gone
You seem indifferent now that you are no longer here.
But do you know how much I miss you?
I miss you deeply; do you realize the extent of my feelings?
It's not fair after all you've done
Despite your actions, it feels unjust that I'm left in this situation.
That I'm so...
Expressing a sense of dissatisfaction or unfairness in the situation.
I still want to kiss you
Despite everything, I still have the desire to kiss you.
And throwing presents straight away
You reject gifts immediately, as you cannot take them home.
Because you could never take them home
The fear of what he might say prevents you from accepting presents.
Always scared what he might say
You frequently leave me alone, contributing to a sense of abandonment.
But always leaving me alone
Despite your absence, you don't seem to care about the impact on me.
You don't care, now that you're gone
Reiteration of the emotional void left by your departure.
But do you know how much I miss you?
Expressing the depth of longing and emotional pain due to your absence.
It's not fair after all you've done
Despite your actions, it feels unjust that I'm left in this situation.
That I'm so...
Reiteration of the ongoing desire to kiss you, despite the circumstances.
I still want to kiss you
Expressing persistent romantic feelings despite the challenges.
You told him what he wants to hear
You tell him what he wants to hear, gaining another chance with him.
And so you got another chance
Despite your actions, I was committed to you for seven years.
But I was yours for seven years
Raising the question of whether your actions constitute a fleeting affair.
Is that what you call a dalliance?
Questioning the sincerity of the relationship and its depth.
You don't care, now that you're gone
Reiteration of the emotional void left by your departure.
But do you know how much I miss you?
Expressing the depth of longing and emotional pain due to your absence.
It's not fair after all you've done
Despite your actions, it feels unjust that I'm left in this situation.
That I'm so...
Reiteration of the ongoing desire to kiss you, despite the circumstances.
I still want to kiss you
Expressing persistent romantic feelings despite the challenges.
