Don't Explain
Lincoln Abbey Lyrics

The lyrics of Lincoln Abbey's "Don't Explain" talk about a love that is unapologetic and unconditional. The singer urges their partner not to explain their past actions, mistakes, or shortcomings. They emphasize that they are glad that their partner is back in their life, and they don't want them to justify their actions or words. The singer tells the partner that they love them and what endures are all their thoughts of them. They also reveal that they are aware of their partner's transgressions, but it doesn't matter to them when they are together. The last lines of the song confirm that their life is intertwined with their partner's and their joy and pain rest on their love.

This song's lyrics can be interpreted in a few different ways, but mostly it seems to suggest that sometimes it's not worth trying to explain everything that we do or say in relationships, and in some instances, we should just let our love for the other person speak for itself. The singer seems to be saying that even if their partner has done something that normally would cause hurt or jealousy, as long as they are together, nothing else matters. It's a beautiful declaration of love and acceptance, acknowledging that all the flaws, mistakes, and transgressions of their partner do not affect the depth of love that they feel for one another.
