Lyric discussion by RayLoren 

We might kiss when we are alone | Implies secrecy. When nobody's watching | Confirms the discretion. We might take it home | ----We can be private. We might make out when nobody's there | No need to worry, because we're alone in private. It's not that we're scared | Theres nothing to fear on both our parts. It's just that it's delicate | Perhaps this is forbidden love? I concur with it being a secret love affair.

We might live like never before | Have moments that are remarkable. When there's nothing to give | There is no foundation to build a relationship? Well how can we ask for more | So how can we work this out? We might make love in some sacred place | Making love. The look on your face is delicate | parallels here the word "delicate" to her beauty while making love.

So why do you fill my sorrow | Why did you engage in this love affair? With the words you've borrowed | Words like I LOVE YOU From the only place you've known | What did these words mean to you? And why do you sing Hallelujah | Why did you tell me you love me? If it means nothing to you | If you didn't mean it Why do you sing with me at all? | Heartbreak!

Excellent work, although I would like to add a possiblity...perhaps it's not about an affair. Perhaps their differences are embarrassing to him...she may be from a lower socio-economic class; she may be older; heavier; homelier; less educated; of a different race; etc.

This is a very good interpretation. I like how you've broken the lines of the song to match what it means.

Right on the money!
