Don't Think I Don't Think About It
Reflecting on Roads Not Taken: Don't Think I Don't Think About It
Lyrics
I left out in a cloud of taillights and dust
I left in a hurry, leaving behind a trail of tail lights and dust
Swore I wasn't coming back, said I'd had enough
Declared I wouldn't return, expressed that I had reached a limit
Saw you in the rear view standing, fading from my life
Noticed you in the rearview, gradually disappearing from my life
But I wasn't turnin' 'round
Decided not to turn back this time
No not this time
Reiterating the decision to not go back
But don't think I don't think about it
Emphasizing that despite the decision, thoughts linger
Don't think I don't have regrets
Acknowledging regrets in the past
Don't think it don't get to me
Admitting that it affects emotionally
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Highlighting the challenges faced: work, hurt, and whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Expressing curiosity about what could have been
Could've been, should've been all worked out
Reflecting on missed opportunities and resolutions
I know what I felt, and I know what I said
Asserting awareness of emotions and words spoken
But don't think I don't think about it
Reiterating persistent thoughts despite decisions made
When we make choices, we gotta live with them
Acknowledging the consequences of choices
Heard you found a real good man and you married him
Learning about your marriage to a good man
I wonder if sometimes I cross your mind
Speculating if thoughts of the past cross your mind
Where would we be today
Contemplating the hypothetical present if I hadn't left
If I never drove that car away?
Questioning the potential outcome if the car wasn't driven away
But don't think I don't think about it
Reiterating lingering thoughts despite decisions
Don't think I don't have regrets
Acknowledging regrets and their emotional impact
Don't think it don't get to me
Admitting the emotional toll of work, hurt, and whiskey
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Repeating the curiosity about what could have been
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Revisiting the idea of a different, potentially better outcome
Could've been, should've been all worked out
Reiterating the awareness of feelings and words spoken
Yeah I know what I felt, and I know what I said
Emphasizing thoughts persist despite past decisions
But don't think I don't think about it
Reiterating persistent thoughts despite decisions made
But don't think I don't think about it
-But don't think I don't think about it
-Don't think I don't have regrets
Acknowledging ongoing regrets
Don't think it don't get to me
Admitting the emotional impact of regrets
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Highlighting the emotional toll of work, hurt, and whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Repeating the curiosity about what could have been
Could've been, should've been all worked out
Reflecting on missed opportunities and resolutions
I know what I felt, and I know what I said
Asserting awareness of emotions and words spoken
But don't think I don't think about it, no no
Reiterating persistent thoughts despite decisions made
Don't think I don't
Repeating the idea of ongoing thoughts
Don't think I don't
Reiterating the idea of ongoing thoughts
