Building Heartaches
Unveiling Love's Deception: Building Heartaches by Willie Nelson
Lyrics
Each time that I hold you close, here in my arms
Expressing the physical closeness and intimacy with a partner
I'm building heartaches
Acknowledging the emotional pain and sorrow being experienced
Each time that I kiss your lips, so sweet and warm
Describing the act of kissing and the associated creation of heartaches
I'm building heartaches
Reiterating the idea that each kiss contributes to the pain
And when you say you love me
Highlighting a realization that declarations of love are insincere
We both know it's a lie
Emphasizing the mutual awareness that expressions of love are false
An' just a dream from which I must awake
Referring to love as a dream that needs to be confronted
That each sweet word you tell me
Indicating that sweet words spoken are actually causing heartache
Is a heartache in disguise
Implies that expressions of love are deceptive and painful
So I'm building heartaches
Reaffirming the theme of accumulating emotional pain
When people ask me what I'm doin', here's what I tell
Responding to inquiries about activities with the admission of building heartaches
I'm building heartaches
Reiterating the central theme of creating emotional pain
And each kiss you give me is a tear that hasn't fell
Describing kisses as unshed tears, underscoring the sorrow within
So I'm building heartaches
Stating the ongoing process of generating heartaches through kisses
And when you say you love me
Repeating the acknowledgment of insincere professions of love
We both know it's a lie
Linking love to a dream that needs to be faced and left behind
An' just a dream from which I must awake
Reiterating the idea that the professed love is not genuine
And each sweet word you tell me
Restating that sweet words are concealing underlying heartaches
Is a heartache in disguise
Highlighting the deceptive nature of expressions of love
So I'm building heartaches
Affirming the continuous construction of emotional pain within the relationship
