Derreck Simons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you're leavin'... and it's all
Because...
She said that: he said that:
You said that: I said that:
"I got another girl I'm dating"
You said that: I said that:
"I love to fool around!"
This time... for love
Tell me why your friends wanna break
Us up now?
This time... for love
Nothing's gonna stop me by keepin'
Me down!!!
And, it's all wrong... hearing the gossip...
And now you're leavin'... and it's all
Because...
The lyrics of Derreck Simons's song "This Time" tells a story of a person who is left heartbroken after their partner decides to leave them due to the rumors they have heard about their partner's infidelity. The person in the song is confused and asks their partner about the situation, but they only hear different versions of what has been said about their partner's behavior. The partner's words that hurt the most are that they have found someone else and that they love to fool around. The chorus of the song is uplifting and empowering, as the person in the song decides to not let the gossip and rumors bring them down, and instead, they vow to fight for the love they share with their partner.
The song portrays the difficulty of trust and communication in a relationship, showcasing the damage that rumors and gossip can cause. It is also a reflection of the fact that relationships are complex and sometimes motivating oneself to move on and trust again is a struggle. Despite the heartache and pain, the song encourages the listener to remain positive and not let negativity win.
