Confess My Love
Leah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Does the moon wink at you where you are?
Do the stars blink at you where you are?
Do your sunsets drip like peaches dipped in honey?
Do we see the same sky when we're lonely?

Cause I've been thinking lately that you really seem to hate me
Some say distance makes the heart grow fonder
But we can't seem to do this any longer
I know I'm the one who went away, but I never promised I'd stay

So it's time I take my heart back
Cause I gladly gave it to you for so long
But like a flower with only sun
My love has dried up

Do your friends tell you you could do better?
Do they say my moods change like the weather?
Do you think that I'm so untrustworthy
I deserve to hear things that will hurt me?
I know I'm the one who went away, but I never promised I'd stay

So it's time I take my heart back
Cause I gladly gave it to you for so long
But like a flower with only sun
My love has dried up

Like a bird without a song
We just got fucked up

So it's time I take my heart back




Cause I gladly gave it to you for so long
But like a flower with only sun, my love has dried up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Leah Capelle's song My Love Has Dried Up is a poignant and introspective exploration of a failing relationship. The song opens with the singer questioning whether her absent partner is still able to appreciate the beauty around him, only to reveal later in the song that she feels he hates her. The contrast between these two perspectives serves to highlight the emotional dissonance between them.


Further on, she wonders whether her partner's friends think he could do better and whether they consider her unreliable. These lyrics speak to the singer's insecurities and the way she's questioning why the relationship failed. She acknowledges that she left but didn't promise to stay. The central message of the song seems to be that it's time for the singer to move on because the love she once had has now died. She compares it to a flower that withers without sunlight, which is a metaphor for what happened to the relationship.


The bridge of the song features the line "like a bird without a song, we just got fucked up." This line represents the end of the relationship, where they've lost the connection that brought them together initially. It's a raw and honest confession that simplifies the experience of the relationship's failure.


Overall, the lyrics of My Love Has Dried Up show the complexities and pain of ending a relationship. They highlight the emotional turmoil that emerges when two people can't make things work.

I love LEAH's lyrics. They are more intricate than most symphonic metal i have heard.

Michael

My favorite LEAH song and probably in my top 5 favorite songs of all time.

Mutt Dawg

I like her voice & songs- if she turned up the guitars loud enough to...make it "metal", I would be into Leah. Remix, make it committed metal.
Even Tarja cranks the guitar up some.
Love to see this girl just commit to being a symphonic metal singer.
