Yeah, and see he said he had no use for hoping that she would come 'rescue' him from the darkness he was in. But then, she came along and her love set him free. I can't critique this song any better than Pryncess33. She friggin nailed it! She got it! |

He had given up on his chances to find real love. Each time he thought he had it, it eluded him. The last time, he was in love it was a stormy relationship.. full of misunderstandings, misguided direction and selfishness. Now, he has met this girl. She scares him because she represents the very thing.. the only thing he has felt secure about in a long time... Love. He feels good about it, really good but he knows he can't trust that. So, now he is trying to get himself to move toward his blessing. To move toward her and her love for him. Her love sets him free from everything he has known or put into his head that he could never have. He wants her to understand that if he gives her his love then it's real and don't play with it... "Love is not a fairytale in a melody." I can picture him right now with her hand on his chest so she can feel his heart beating. "If you want it you can have it girl." "Maybe you will see, maybe you will see" (that I am your blessing and you are mine). He has waited a lifetime to find her. You know sometimes we have to hit rock-bottom in something before we can rise to the top. He had hit rock-bottom and his last relationship... he thought, it breaking up was a curse. But if it hadn't been for that, he would not have had the opportunity to find her. He would have been stuck in a relationship/marriage of convenience. An alternative meaning.. not too alternative, is that he has waited all of his life to find her. He has been through many relationships in his past and none were the right one. Then... she came along. He knows there are ups and downs in every relationship "Love is not a fairytale in a melody." He is trying to see if she is mature enough to accept his invitation of love. Trust takes a while to cultivate. When you are trying to build up to proposing marriage, it is a huge step. Something people wait a lifetime for. He has to make love work this lifetime.. take that big step ... big leap forward.. close his eyes and just jump. All of it on faith and he wants her to do the same. Who knows if they'll have another lifetime to find each other again. He doesn't want to let her slip past him. |

| I read your comment and it immediately touched me because that is exactly what I feel about this song. I'm getting married next year and am using this as my entrance song but started second-guessing my choice when I read the other comments (He is divorced) and so I didn't want to relay the wrong message. But yeah, he really went through it in his marriage and I really went through hell in my last relationship as well. This song though, epitomizes the frame-of-mind he had when I met him. You really dug deep, kept ir real and put it out there.... I do believe in everything that you said. | |
