Lyrics meaning
The lyrics describe a relationship that is both loving and painful. The couple repeatedly quarrels, yet their feelings keep drawing them back together. At first, the singer wonders why something good can cause so much hurt and who will end up alone. Later, the mood becomes more hopeful: the tears may eventually pass, and love may remain.
The โone-way streetโ suggests a situation that feels difficult to escape or change. โThe taste of bittersweetโ combines pleasure with sadness, capturing the mixed feelings of loving someone through conflict. The โstormy nightsโ are an image for troubled periods, while โturn another pageโ means moving on to a new stage or starting again after an argument.
The lyrics leave the coupleโs future uncertain. Their โheadstrong waysโ suggest neither person easily gives in, and the repeated question about who is crying now may mean that both are vulnerable, not that one person is clearly to blame. The claim that love โwill never dieโ can sound like a firm promise, but it may also express hope rather than certainty. The song holds both ideas at once: love can survive, yet it does not prevent pain.
