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 โ€œone-way streetโ€ suggests a situation that feels difficult to escape or change. โ€œThe taste of bittersweetโ€ combines pleasure with sadness, capturing the mixed feelings of loving someone through conflict. The โ€œstormy nightsโ€ are an image for troubled periods, while โ€œturn another pageโ€ means moving on to a new stage or starting again after an argument.

The lyrics leave the coupleโ€™s future uncertain. Their โ€œheadstrong 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 โ€œwill 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.
