Albert Frost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please tell her I'm sad
I didn't mean to do it
I didn't mean to be bad
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Too the sweet pain
Nothing compared us
Is our love
But is it over for us?
It's far enough
It's far enough
It's far enough
To be over
And I'm only asking
For a lifetime to try
Make me think of this living
So please try not to cry?
It's only us
It's only us
It's only us
Please forever
It's only us
It's only us
It's only us
Please forever

Please tell her I'm sorry
I want you to convey my apologies to her
Please tell her I'm sad
I want you to tell her that I feel miserable
I didn't mean to do it
I had no intention to cause harm
I didn't mean to be bad
I didn't intend to act in an objectionable way
It's not enough
Saying sorry isn't adequate
It's not enough
Being remorseful isn't enough
It's not enough
I have to do something more significant to make amends
To be over
To put an end to the hurt and pain
Too the sweet pain
Despite the agony we felt, it's a bittersweet memory
Nothing compared us
Our love was exceptional and incomparable to anything else
Is our love
I'm questioning if our love is still alive
But is it over for us?
I wonder if our relationship has ended for good
It's far enough
I think we have gone far enough in our relationship
It's far enough
We have moved apart enough not to return
It's far enough
We have reached a point where everything is quite over
To be over
I can no longer sustain the connection and want to break up
And I'm only asking
I'm not asking too much, only one thing
For a lifetime to try
I need a lifetime to make amends and try to fix things
Make me think of this living
I want to feel alive despite the pain and difficulty
So please try not to cry?
Please don't cry as it makes things harder for me to end this relationship.
It's only us
It's just the two of us who matter
It's only us
It is only us who have a chance to mend our relationship
It's only us
No one else can heal or help us
Please forever
I urge you to stay with me for an eternity and beyond
It's only us
It's just me and you who know what it feels like
It's only us
We alone can fix our broken relationship
It's only us
Despite everything, we have only us
Please forever
I yearn for your companionship forever

Heard "Who Do You Love" on Pinguin Blues Radio by Albert Frost Blues Trio. I liked their rendition then, and I'm certainly digging this song now
