Analysis of Love Hurts

Jennifer Spinney 1982 (Providence RI)

Ode


I'm sorry I made a one time mistake

but it doesn't mean that you have to feel hate

I didn't mean it in a rude kind of way

but I'm sorry and I don't know what else to say

It was hurtful to call me unappreciative which made me feel so small

I am definitely not like that whatsoever at all

Lately I've been feeling like you've been distant with me

So if you want I will just let you be

I didn't want to leave and walk away from you

But I just felt like you wanted me to

I'm not gonna be able to sleep without you tonight

I'm feeling like I'm not doing anything right

This is not a reason for you to be mad

It's really just making me feel so sad

I guess I should just stop and leave you alone

I am here missing you and unhappy at home

I'm hoping you still love me and will call me soon

And just remember that I love you so much all the way to the moon
