Love's A Leavin'
Farewell Symphony: Love's Painful Departure by Warren Zeiders
Lyrics
Girl, I really hate to make your pretty green eyes turn blue
The speaker regrets causing emotional pain to the girl, seeing her upset.
You wear my heart on your sleeve just like them tattoos
Comparing the girl's display of emotions to wearing her heart openly, akin to tattoos.
And I remember the way that it was before that sun set down on us
Recalling how things were in the past before a significant negative event or change.
So how can I be high when I feel so damn low?
Expressing feeling emotionally down despite attempting different coping methods.
Tried my bible, some bourbon and that red dashboard glow
Trying various means (like reading the Bible, drinking bourbon) to find solace or escape.
Found my way to that deep end, last breath ain't breathin'
Feeling overwhelmed or reaching a breaking point, possibly related to the end of the relationship.
Man, I should have seen it since our love's a leavin' (our love's a leavin')
Realizing the signs of the relationship ending and regretting not noticing earlier.
Our love's a leavin'
Reiterating the impending end of their love.
Girl, I know you know there's no good way to say goodbye
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding a suitable way to part ways.
Tryna make this work's like trying to make our stars align
Comparing the effort to salvage the relationship to aligning stars—challenging and improbable.
I remember the way that it was 'fore our dirt road done turned into dust
Remembering how things used to be before their relationship deteriorated.
So how can I be high when I feel so damn low?
Expressing emotional distress despite attempts to find relief.
Tried my bible, some bourbon and that red dashboard glow
Continuing to seek solace through different means but feeling unsuccessful.
Found my way to that deep end, last breath ain't breathin'
Feeling close to a breaking point or a significant realization related to the end of the relationship.
Man, I should have seen it since our love's a leavin' (our love's a leavin')
Regretting not recognizing the signs of the relationship's demise earlier.
Our love's a leavin'
Reiterating the impending end of their love.
On that fast track, it may never come back
Implying that the relationship's fast decline might prevent its revival.
Our love's a leavin', our love's a leavin'
Reaffirming the imminent end of their love.
How can I be high when I feel so damn low?
Expressing emotional distress despite attempts to find relief.
Tried my bible, some bourbon and that red dashboard glow
Continuing to seek solace through different means but feeling unsuccessful.
Found my way to that deep end, last breath ain't breathin'
Feeling close to a breaking point or a significant realization related to the end of the relationship.
Man, I should have seen it since our love's a leavin' (our love's a leavin')
Regretting not recognizing the signs of the relationship's demise earlier.
Our love's a leavin'
Reiterating the impending end of their love.
Our love's a leavin' (our love's a leavin'), our love's a leavin'
Emphasizing the imminent end of their love once more.
I guess our love's a leavin'
Accepting the inevitable end of their love.
