Lyrics
To live for today and to love for tomorrow
To prioritize living in the present and loving with the future in mind
Is the wisdom of a fool
Characterizing the act as foolish, emphasizing the importance of living for the moment
Because tomorrow is promised to no one
Highlighting the uncertainty of the future, as it is not guaranteed
You see, love is that wonderful thing
Describing love as a wonderful and essential element for the entire world
That the whole wide world needs plenty of
Emphasizing the universal need for love
And if you think for one minute that you can live without it
Challenging the idea that one can live a fulfilling life without love
Then you are only fooling yourself
Asserting that denying the need for love is self-deception
Listen, please
Introduction or transition in the narrative
I'd like to tell you something
Expressing the intention to share a personal experience
That happened to me just the other day
Setting the stage for a personal anecdote
I awakened this morning
Starting the personal story of waking up with a sense of hopelessness
I was filled with despair
Expressing a feeling of deep sadness or discouragement
All my dreams turned to ashes
Metaphorically describing the collapse of aspirations and hopes
Now, they're gone
Emphasizing the loss of dreams
And I looked at my life
Reflecting on the state of life, finding it desolate and bare
It was barren and so bare
Highlighting the emptiness of life without love
Without love, I had nothing, nothing at all
Summarizing the impact of lacking love in life
Without love, I had nothing
Repeating the sentiment of having nothing without love
Without love, I had nothing, nothing at all
Reiterating the emptiness experienced without love
I had conquered the world
Reflecting on worldly achievements, questioning their value without love
But what then did I have?
Raising a rhetorical question about the significance of conquering the world without love
Without love, I had nothing, nothing at all
Emphasizing the hollowness of achievements without love
I once had a sweetheart
Introducing a past romantic relationship
Who loved only me
Describing the ex-partner's exclusive love for the narrator
There was nothing that she would not give (no, no)
Highlighting the partner's willingness to give everything
I was blind to her goodness
Admitting blindness to the partner's goodness
And I just could not see
Expressing the inability to recognize the value of love
That a heart without love cannot live
Stating the importance of love for a heart to thrive
Without love, I had nothing
Repeating the sentiment of having nothing without love
Without love, I had nothing, nothing at all
Reiterating the emptiness experienced without love
I had conquered the world
Reflecting on worldly achievements, questioning their value without love
But what then did I have?
Raising a rhetorical question about the significance of conquering the world without love
Without love, I had nothing, nothing at all
Emphasizing the hollowness of achievements without love
Without love, I had nothing, nothing at all
Reiterating the idea that life is meaningless without love
(Without love)
Final repetition emphasizing the essential nature of love
