She Don't Cry Like She Used To
Unveiling Heartache: She's Changed, and I'm Left Longing
Lyrics
She's got a new look on her face
Observing a change in her facial expression
I only wish it mean't good news
Desiring her new expression to signify positive news
For something's missing from her embrace
Feeling a lack of something in her embrace
And my heart is aching and I'm shaking in my shoes
Experiencing deep emotional pain and anxiety
She don't cry like she used to
Noticing she doesn't cry as she did previously
She no longer walks the floor
She no longer exhibits a distressed behavior (walking the floor)
She don't ask me where I'm going
She doesn’t inquire about his whereabouts
When I'm going out the door
She doesn’t express concern when he leaves
She don't worry, wait or wonder
She's not anxious or curious as before
Like she's always done before
She’s changed from her habitual worrying
She don't cry like she used to anymore
Noticing her reduced tendency to cry compared to the past
She don't cry like she used to anymore
Reiterating the change in her crying behavior
If only she would hold me in her arms tonight
Desiring emotional closeness from her tonight
And tell me how her heart aches when I'm gone
Wanting to know her feelings when he's away
Even if she'd scold me for staying out all night
Even if she scolds, it would indicate she cares
At least, I'd know that she still cares enough to carry on
Wishing for a sign that she still cares despite disagreements
But she don't cry like she used to
Noticing her changed behavior in crying
She no longer walks the floor
Reiteration of her altered distress signals
She don't ask me where I'm going
She doesn’t question his departures anymore
When I'm going out the door
Her lack of concern when he leaves
She don't worry, wait or wonder
Her reduced worrying and waiting for his return
Like she's always done before
Changes from her habitual behavior
She don't cry like she used to anymore
Continuing to notice her altered crying habits
She don't cry like she used to anymore
Reiterating the observation of her changed crying pattern
Now I'm the one who's breaking down
Feeling emotionally shattered now
The one who walks the floor
Experiencing distress similar to her previous behavior
She don't cry like she used to anymore
Reiteration of her changed crying behavior
She don't cry like she used to anymore
Re-emphasizing the observation of her altered crying patterns
