later on
BENNY BENACK III Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But once we kissed I felt a thrill
A thrill I'd never known whilst stuck alone
until our lips touched
Then later on we grew apart
Again betrayed by my poor heart
To watch love's embers die
I thought this time I knew real love
The kind to last forever more
Yet now I wonder if I'll feel love
Or watch my heart just close the door
Yes later on I'll win my prize
But now I curse this heart that lies
A heart that burns so bright yet turns at night
Will always search for a love that never dies
A love that's true
I thought this time I knew real love
The kind to last forever more
Yet now I wonder if I'll feel love
Or watch my heart just close the door
Yes later on I'll win my prize
But now I curse this heart that lies
A heart that burns so bright yet turns at night
Will always search for a love that never dies
A love that's true

Line by Line Meaning
When first we met my heart was still
Before meeting you, my heart was dormant and unmoved
But once we kissed I felt a thrill
As soon as we kissed, I was filled with a blissful sensation
A thrill I'd never known whilst stuck alone
I had never experienced such a rush of emotion when I was alone
until our lips touched
The cause of this feeling was when we shared our first kiss
Then later on we grew apart
As time passed, our connection faded and we drifted apart
Again betrayed by my poor heart
My heart was let down once more by the distance that formed between us
To watch love's embers die
It was painful to witness the end of what had once been a strong bond
And not know why is cruel
The feeling of not understanding why it ended is especially harsh
I thought this time I knew real love
I had believed that our love was genuine and lasting
The kind to last forever more
I had hoped that our love would withstand the test of time
Yet now I wonder if I'll feel love
I am uncertain if I will ever experience this kind of love again
Or watch my heart just close the door
I fear that my heart will shut out any future love due to past hurt
Yes later on I'll win my prize
Someday, I will find a love that is worth waiting for
But now I curse this heart that lies
In the present moment, I resent the pain and falsehood in my heart
A heart that burns so bright yet turns at night
My heart is passionate and full of fire, but it is also fickle
Will always search for a love that never dies
Despite the heartache, I will always yearn for a love that is unbreakable
A love that's true
A love that is genuine and unwavering
