Lyrics
She woke up this morning and she knew
She woke up this morning and realized that the relationship was over.
They were through
Confirming the end of the relationship.
And she was leavin'
She made the decision to leave.
She packed up her love and her memories
She packed up her love and the memories associated with it.
Now she sees
She now understands that her heart was equally shattered.
Her heart was breakin' even
Realizing the emotional pain she's experiencing.
Now she's headed down that highway
She's on the road, departing for good.
She's never coming back again
Emphasizing that she won't return.
She'll go one more time
She's going down the same lonely path again.
Down that lonesome road
Continuing the journey until she finds a way back home.
Till she finds that turn off
Searching for the route that leads back to familiarity.
That leads back home
Planning to revive her aspirations.
Then she'll dust her dreams off
She'll revive her hopes and ambitions.
And dry her eyes
She'll overcome her sorrow.
She'll leave one more heartache
Leaving behind another painful experience.
One more heartache, one more heartache Behind
Repetition emphasizing the departure from heartache.
She had a love when she was young
Reflecting on a past love that impacted her profoundly.
It was the one
That particular love had a significant effect on her.
That set her heart to dreaming
It fueled her dreams and aspirations.
Since then she's never been the same
Since that love, she hasn't been the same emotionally.
Through the pain
Enduring the anguish from the past.
She gave up on believing
She lost faith in the possibility of a fulfilling relationship.
Now she's headed down that highway
She's again on the road, leaving without intent to return.
She's never coming back again
Reiterating her firm decision not to come back.
She'll go one more time
Repeated reference to her journey down the desolate path.
Down that lonesome road
Continuing until she discovers the way home.
Till she finds that turn off
Seeking the way back to comfort and familiarity.
That leads back home
Planning to revive her aspirations and hopes.
Then she'll dust her dreams off
Preparing to overcome her sadness.
And dry her eyes
Repeating the determination to leave behind heartache.
She'll leave one more heartache
Another reference to leaving behind painful experiences.
One more heartache, one more heartache Behind
Emphasizing the departure from heartache through repetition.
She'll leave one more heartache behind
Final affirmation of leaving behind yet another heartache.
