Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretty love songs
Coming from an open window
Today
I stopped
To listen to the love songs
And I had to cry
Just walk away
I knew
All the love songs
Once upon a time he sang them
To me
Today
I was crying in the sunshine
When someone said,
"Is something wrong?"
And I said no
It's just a song
And I can't tell you why
Pretty love songs always make me cry

Line by Line Meaning
I heard
I became aware of
Pretty love songs
Musical compositions about romantic experiences that are pleasing to the ear
Coming from an open window
Being played where the sound can propagate outward into the open air
Today
On this particular day
I stopped
I ceased walking or moving
To listen to the love songs
To pay attention to the music that expressed love
And I had to cry
And shed tears involuntarily
Why didn't I
Why did I not
Just walk away
Simply depart from that location and activity
I knew
I was aware of
All the love songs
Every song expressing feelings of love
Once upon a time he sang them
At one point, he performed those songs to me
To me
In my presence or directed at me as an audience
Today
On this particular day
I was crying in the sunshine
I was shedding tears while in daylight
When someone said,
When an individual voiced,
"Is something wrong?"
"Is there an issue disturbing you?"
And I said no
And I answered negatively
It's just a song
It is merely a musical piece
And I can't tell you why
And I am incapable of providing a reason to you
Pretty love songs always make me cry
Musical compositions about romantic experiences that are pleasing to the ear consistently cause me to shed tears involuntarily
