Tears On My Pillow
John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Twas not so long ago you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you
No, no no no now
No, no no no
You you you you you (You)
The lyrics to John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John's song "Tears On My Pillow" are a reflection of the pain and heartbreak that the singer has been through because of a past relationship. The opening lines "You don't remember me, but I remember you, 'twas not so long ago you broke my heart in two" convey the sense of disappointment and loss that the singer is feeling. The memory of the relationship is still vivid in their mind, but the other person has moved on and forgotten about it.
The chorus of the song "Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you" further emphasizes the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through. The repetition of the word "you" shows the intensity of the singer's feelings towards their former lover. The verse "Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy, when you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy" is a reminder that genuine love is not something that can be easily replaced or forgotten. It's a powerful emotion that can bring both happiness and pain.
The final repetition of "you" in the song shows that the singer is still deeply affected by their past relationship. The song is a testament to the fact that love can leave a lasting impression on a person's heart and soul.
