The Voice
Roxette (Per Gessle-Marie Fredriksson) Lyrics

Between the open heart and the whisper goodbye
The moment when someone decides to leave and say goodbye creates a feeling of sadness after having opened your heart to them.

There's a perfect teardrop in your eye
The feeling of intense emotion often causes tears to fall down one's face, signifying that the sadness is real and raw.

Between the lover's moon and the trembling sky
The tremble in the sky shows the vulnerability that someone can feel when expressing their feelings for another. It is comparable to when a full moon is out - a lover's moon - which can bring intense, romantic feelings.

There's a broken dream in your mind
Disappointment and loss are common in heartbreak. There is a dream of what could have been, but it is broken and seems impossible now.

And the voice is carrying the love you have lost
The memory of a lost love can still resonate in the voice of the person who lost it, bringing emotion to the surface.

And the change of heart in someone you trust
When someone changes their heart, it can cause great hurt to the person who trusted them. It creates a sense of betrayal and shock.

Yea the voice is carrying the love and the scars
The scars of love lost can still be heard in one's voice, even as they try to move on and heal.

Hear the lonely voice in the dark
Loneliness can be deafening, especially in the darkness of night when there is little to distract from the pain of loss and heartbreak.

Between the careful touch and the breakaway kiss
There is a tension between being careful in a relationship and giving in to the passion of a kiss. It is a delicate balance that can change quickly.

There's a beauty you can't resist
Love can be beautiful and captivating even when it hurts. Despite the pain, it can be hard to resist the allure of love.

Mmm, between the fall apart and the moment of bliss
The moment of happiness can quickly fall apart, and the journey from this moment to the next can be full of ups and downs.

There must be something more than this
Despite the pain of love lost, there is hope that there is something better out there. The person singing this song is searching for something deeper and more fulfilling.

Oh, yea, the voice is carrying the love you have lost
Repeating the previous lyric, emphasizing the fact that past loves can still be heard in a voice, even years later.

Hear the lonely voice in the dark. In the dark
Repeating earlier lyrics, drawing attention to the loneliness and pain someone feels after losing love.

Lonely voice. Lonely voice in the dark
Again repeating the loneliness description, signifying how intense and isolating it can feel when love is lost and seemingly out of reach.

Hear the lonely voice
The singer is pleading for the listener to hear and understand the pain they feel after losing love. They want to be heard and comforted in their time of heartbreak.

Hear the lonely voice in the dark...
Repeating the loneliness description again, leaving the song on a somber note.
