Brand on My Heart
Love's Regret: A Melody of Heartache by Willie Nelson and Hank Snow
Lyrics
My troubled old heart dear is beating with pain,
Expressing emotional pain in the heart.
You've gone and I know I'm the one who's to blame,
Acknowledging personal responsibility for the separation.
You've gone in the world to make a new start,
Noting the partner's departure to start anew in the world.
And left as a memory your brand on my heart.
Reminiscing about the departed one, whose memory lingers like a brand on the heart.
They say you were crying while packing your things
Reports of the partner's emotional state while leaving, accompanied by leaving personal items behind.
And left me your locket and bright golden rings,
Symbolic gifts left behind, highlighting the emotional weight of the departure.
The plans for your future I've broken apart
Reference to shattered plans for the future due to the separation.
Now all I have left is your brand on my heart.
Expressing the lingering emotional impact of the departed one, reduced to a lasting memory.
You say you were sorry it ended this way
Acknowledging apologies and hopeful words from the departed one.
And that I'll find someone to love me someday,
Assurance of finding new love in the future, but a plea for the departed one to be the true love.
Another to cherish the love you once knew,
Recognizing the uniqueness of the departed one's love.
But darling that someone can only be you.
Declaring that only the departed one can truly replace the lost love.
The flowers you planted, that rose you loved best
Mentioning symbols of love, now withered and silent due to the separation.
It's soft velvet petals are now closed in death
Describing the death of a cherished rose, symbolizing the end of love.
The birds have hushed singing, it all plays a part
Highlighting the quiet aftermath, emphasizing the pain of separation.
To deepen the wound of your brand on my heart.
Stating that various elements deepen the emotional wound caused by the departed one.
I'm appealing to you for forgiveness today
Seeking forgiveness and a chance for a new beginning.
For all of your tears darling I've had to pay,
Expressing the cost of tears and suffering due to the mistakes made.
If you'll just forgive me we'll make a new start
Pleading for forgiveness to start afresh and remove the enduring mark of the departed one.
And no more will I carry your brand on my heart.
Committing to letting go of the emotional burden carried from the past.
