Method: This study uses a qualitative research method with a language and literature analysis approach. The data collection technique is done by literature study.
Findings: The results show that language is used to convey various emotions, including heartbreak, regret, and longing. The song lyrics are carefully crafted to create a specific emotional landscape that reflects the narrator's state of mind.
