Ophelia Lyrics

I, I, when I was younger
I, I, should have known better
And I can't feel no remorse
And you don't feel nothing back

I, I, got a new girlfriend
She feels like he's on top
And I don't feel no remorse
And you can't see past my blinders

Oh, Ophelia
You've been on my mind girl since the flood
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help a fool who falls in love

I, I, got a little paycheck
You got big plans and you gotta move
And I don't feel nothing at all
And you can't feel nothing small

Honey, I love you, that's all she wrote

Oh, Ophelia
You've been on my mind girl like a drug
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help a fool who falls in love

Oh, Ophelia
You've been on my mind girl since the flood
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help a fool who falls in love

Oh, Ophelia
You've been on my mind girl like a drug
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help a fool who falls in love

What is the Meaning of Ophelia?

A haunting melody of love and regret, this song is an emotional journey through the heartache of unrequited affection. The protagonist reminisces about his youthful naivety when he fell for Ophelia, a woman who remains elusive and indifferent to his feelings. Despite his attempts to move on with a new girlfriend and focus on worldly pursuits, he finds himself constantly drawn back to her memory. His longing for Ophelia is both intoxicating and destructive, akin to a flood or a potent drug. The repeated plea, "Heaven help a fool who falls in love," underscores the painful reality of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings. It's a poignant reminder that love can be as much a source of sorrow as it is joy. #UnrequitedLove #FoolishHeart
