Analysis of The God Of Love



They sat there everyday and like strangers they just looked
 Its been 3 years since they got married and the day that they opened that book
 The book of their lives and the story that I will now tell
 The moments that took them to heaven and times that felt like hell
 Till the day it all seemed over and he couldn't  stop her from going out that door
 Cause he knew she was going to leave him as he heard her tear drop hit the floor

Time can change a relationship but the memories will still remain
 Of times he held her hand so soft or the day they danced in the rain
 Could he bring that smile back on their face, maybe a few flowers would do
 But I know just like that smile on her face, the flowers won't forever bloom
 So as days went by all I knew is that soon she'd be walking out that door
 Cause by then I knew she was going leave him, as I heard her tear drop hit the floor

But who am I to help them and could I heal the broken heart ?
 For a love that's lost, could I help them find that love or the missing part
 The part where they could even forget the vows that they once made
 Or the ring on their fingers unlike their love that colour never did fade
 So the reason I'm here is to help the two lovers that now have drifted apart
 And like something that can be fixed with glue I could help fix their broken hearts

So days went by and they seemed a lot closer with no memories of the past
 It was like the wind blew away their pain and made their love a kind to last
 What could it be that brought them back so close, was it a blessing or was it just luck ?
 But I think I'll tell you cause you've been guessing too long.. By my arrow they had been struck !
 Well I've been here for a reason and that's the reason I live.. to give you all this love from above
 I'll be there when you need me, you can call me "Cupid" or just simply "The God Of Love" !!
