Love Wouldn't Lie to Me
Love's Deception: Unraveling the Bittersweet Truth in Trisha Yearwood's Melody
Lyrics
I've played it over in my head
I have repeatedly thought about the situation in my mind.
Thought about the words you said
Reflecting on the words that were spoken.
Laid awake in my bed
Unable to sleep, lying awake in bed.
It's gone, gone, gone
Whatever it is, it has completely disappeared.
I've tried to make it make some sense
Attempting to find logic or reason in the situation.
How it came and how it went
Contemplating how it began and ended.
It's still the same damn consequence
Facing the same negative outcome or result.
It's gone, gone, gone
Whatever it is, it's irretrievably lost.
Love shouldn't lie to me
Expressing a belief that love should always be truthful.
Love couldn't lie to me
Affirming the impossibility of love deceiving.
Love wouldn't lie to me
Asserting the trustworthiness of love.
But it did
Contradicting the earlier beliefs, indicating that love did lie.
People come and people go
Noting the transient nature of relationships.
I put on a real good show
Putting on a facade or performance for others.
How I do it, I don't know
Uncertain about how the performance is achieved.
It's gone, gone, gone
Whatever it is, it's lost forever.
It's all hanging by a thread
Describing a precarious situation hanging by a thread.
I try to see a day ahead
Attempting to envision the future but only seeing the past.
I only see the past instead
Focusing on past events rather than the present or future.
It's gone, gone, gone
Emphasizing that whatever it is, it's irretrievably lost.
Love shouldn't lie to me
Reiterating the expectation that love should always be truthful.
Love couldn't lie to me
Stating the belief that love cannot deceive.
Love wouldn't lie to me
Expressing confidence in the honesty of love.
But it did
Contradicting earlier beliefs, acknowledging that love did lie.
And though
Despite the hardship, acknowledging the ability to endure.
I know
A recognition or awareness of the situation.
I'll survive
Believing in the ability to overcome and continue living.
Love shouldn't lie to me
Repeating the expectation that love should always be truthful.
Love couldn't lie to me
Reiterating the conviction that love cannot deceive.
Love wouldn't lie to me
Affirming the trustworthiness of love despite past deception.
But it did
Acknowledging the contradiction that love did, in fact, lie.
But it did
Repeating the acknowledgment that love did lie.
