Good Woman Lyrics

I think it could also be a song about a passionate relationship that obviously is loving, but also brings out the worst of the two involved. They do really love eachother, but she doesn't like the "bad woman" and "bad man" they sometimes become. Leaving him is her way of saving the beauty that is still left between them, keeping it all a memory she will be able to cherish.

"I will miss your heart so tender And I will love This love forever And this is why I am leaving"

She fears that if she stays they might reach a point where they won't be the same man and woman who once fell in love anymore. If those people disappear, their love will be lost too.

They won't see eachother fave to face anymore, but they "will love / This love forever".
