Not How It Seems
Unveiling Love's Illusion: Andy Hewitt's 'Not How It Seems'
Lyrics
Ever since our meeting, you've been on my mind
Reflecting on the impact of the meeting, the person has been constantly thinking about the other.
Memories repeating, words hard to find
Recollections are recurring, and expressing thoughts or emotions becomes challenging.
So I'm sat here weeping, cos you don't reply
Feeling sorrowful as there is no response from the other person, possibly indicating a lack of communication.
And all I'm left with, is our last goodbye
The only lingering impression is the memory of the last farewell.
Are you leaving for real, baby
Questioning whether the departure is genuine or if it might be a figment of imagination.
Is this just one of my dreams, maybe
Considering the possibility that the current situation might be a dream or illusion.
Don't you know how I feel, baby
Expressing a desire for the other person to understand the speaker's emotions.
Cos this is not how it seems
Stating that the apparent situation is not representative of its true nature.
I held my arms open, but you walked by
Describing a moment where the speaker was open and welcoming, but the other person chose not to engage.
So I find myself asking, myself why
Reflecting on the situation and questioning the reasons behind the other person's actions.
You kept on walking, leaving me behind
Continuing to walk away, leaving the speaker behind and feeling abandoned.
So all I'm left with, is our last goodbye
The lasting impression is the memory of the final parting.
Are you leaving for real, baby
Repeating the inquiry about the authenticity of the departure.
Is this just one of my dreams, maybe
Considering the possibility that the entire experience might be a product of the speaker's dreams.
Don't you know how I feel, baby
Reiterating the desire for the other person to understand the speaker's emotional state.
Cos this is not how it seems
Emphasizing that the current situation is not as it appears on the surface.
Are you leaving for real, baby
Repeating the question about the genuineness of the departure, seeking clarity.
Is this just one of my dreams, maybe
Entertaining the possibility that the entire experience could be a dream or imagination.
Don't you know how I feel, baby
Reiterating the plea for the other person to understand the speaker's emotional turmoil.
Cos this is not how it seems
Stressing once again that the current situation is not a true reflection of reality.
