Navigating the complexities of love and heartbreak, this evocative piece by Kylie Minogue explores the vulnerability and emotional scars that linger from past relationships. The singer reflects on the transient nature of romantic affection, underscored by the abandonment from "Cupid" and the devil's infliction of wounds. The imagery of being "broken-hearted way too soon" and "rocks at the bottom" emphasizes the depth of her emotional turmoil. Despite her unwavering hope for a fairytale ending, the recurrent disappointments lead her to lament the seemingly insurmountable aftermath of repeated heartache. The recurring notion of needing "a lifetime to repair" underscores the long-lasting impact of these emotional wounds. Ultimately, the song portrays a tension between the desire for love and the fear of further pain, capturing a poignant narrative of resilience and fragile hope amidst the enduring struggle for emotional recovery.
A Lifetime to Repair
Lyrics
Cupid don't love me like he used to do
'Cause I'm broken-hearted way too soon
I let my guard down
The devil's gone and left me a bruise, mmm
Rocks at the bottom, will I try again?
Romeo still lives in my head
Thought I would settle down
When happy ever after'd been said, mmm
Six, five, four, three
Too many times I wish I'd never cared
Been torn and twisted, oh I swear
Too many nights crying that it's not fair
If I get hurt again
I'd need a lifetime to repair
I'd need a lifetime to repair
I'd need a lifetime to repair
They told me stories and they got me good
Who's sayin' fairytales aren't true?
If he saves me from the dragon
Well for that lovin', I'd be a fool, mmm
I'd overlook the stupid things he does
Straight up forgive him when he's wrong
When he's fallen off the wagon
We'll still dance to our favourite slow song, mmm
Six, five, four, three
Too many times I wish I'd never cared
Been torn and twisted, oh I swear
Too many nights crying that it's not fair
If I get hurt again
I'd need a lifetime to repair
I'd need a lifetime to repair
I'd need a lifetime to repair
They say that love is everywhere
But it's a game of truth or dare
Gimme that guarantee and I'll be there
Heaven knows I tried my best
Now I'm swimming in the sea of loneliness
Wanna take that chance and wanna say yeah
But too many times I wish I'd never cared
Been torn and twisted, oh I swear
Too many nights crying that it's not fair
If I get hurt again
I'd need a lifetime to repair
I'd need a lifetime to repair
I'd need a lifetime to repair
