Analysis of I'll Find a New Love



My heart is sick,
My body weak.
Mind is twisted.
It's hard to speak.

There's a lump in my throat,
A pain in my mind.
Love has been brutal,
So very unkind.

I know I have lost,
I must win again.
To let a heart die,
Is a terrible sin.

I'll look and I'll search,
I'll find a new love.
One that will be true,
Sent from heaven above.

With my new love,
I'll smile anew.
Laughing and singing,
Never more to be blue.
