This Love
Romeo Stodart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I broke her heart and left her reeling
I could not look her in the eyes
I could not face, where this was leading
I know that I should lose her now
It's true, I don't deserve her
And though I love her 'til I die
She said, "No, our love goes deeper than this"
She said, "No, our love goes deeper than this"
Sent a rose a blackened rose
To atone for my mistreating
When she pressed it
To her breast, it pierced her flesh
And left her bleeding
I know that I should lose her now
It's true, I don't deserve her
And though I love her 'til I die
Now I must desert her
She said, "No, our love goes deeper than this"
She said, "No, our love goes deeper than this"
Even though there's poison in each kiss
She said, "No, our love goes deeper than this"
I know I can't undo what's done
It's true, I don't deserve her
And though I love her 'til I'm gone
Now I must desert her
She said, "No, our love goes deeper than this"
She said, "No, our love goes deeper than this"
Even though there's poison in each kiss
She said, "No, our love goes deeper than this"
The song "This Love" by Romeo Stodart is a heart-wrenching ballad about a man who has lost the trust of his lover by breaking her heart multiple times. The man acknowledges his wrongdoing and the fact that he does not deserve the woman's love, but finds it hard to let go of her. He sends her a blackened rose to make amends, but it only ends up hurting her more. The woman seems to understand the depth of their love and refuses to give up on it, even though it may be toxic.
The lyrics are a reflection of the complex emotions that come with a troubled relationship. The man is torn between his love for the woman and the knowledge that he has hurt her irreparably. He knows that he should leave her, but cannot bring himself to do it. The woman, on the other hand, seems to have a stronger sense of commitment to their relationship, despite its flaws.
The use of the blackened rose as a symbol of the man's regret and the woman's pain is particularly poignant. The rose, which is typically associated with love and romance, is turned into a symbol of darkness and suffering. The fact that it pierces the woman's flesh adds to the tragic nature of the story.
Overall, "This Love" is a moving song that captures the highs and lows of a complicated relationship. It is a reminder that love can be both beautiful and painful at the same time.
