Don't Look Back Now
Unveiling Heartbreak: Brooks & Dunn's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
He doesn't want your love
He doesn't desire your affection or love.
But he can't say goodbye
He struggles to bid farewell.
He's beggin' you to stay
He pleads for you to remain, yet he can't articulate the reason.
But he can't tell you why
He's unable to explain the cause behind his plea for you to stay.
You finally made your move
You've initiated your departure.
Your hand is on the door
You're ready to leave; your hand is on the door.
You know the rest is hard
You acknowledge that what follows is difficult.
You've been this far before
You've experienced this situation previously, reaching a similar point.
Don't look back now
Despite the circumstances, don't reconsider your decision now.
He's gonna see you cryin'
He'll witness your tears.
You'll turn around
As you leave, you'll instinctively look back.
It happens everytime
Looking back occurs each time you depart.
That look will always break you down
His expression always breaks your resolve.
Don't look back now
Once more, resist the urge to look back.
You pick your suitcase up
You prepare to leave, lifting your suitcase.
You hear him call your name
You hear him calling out your name.
You'd give your soul to him
You'd give everything to revert to how things used to be with him.
If things could be the same
You stop and consider a return to the past.
You stop and close your eyes
You hold onto some cherished memories.
You grab some memories
You reminisce about better days spent together.
You think of better days
Reflecting on pleasant moments, now part of history.
But that's all history
The past is irrevocable.
Don't look back now
Once again, resist the temptation to glance back.
He's gonna see you cryin'
He'll witness your emotional vulnerability.
You'll turn around
As you depart, you'll involuntarily look back.
It happens everytime
It's a recurring pattern, looking back when leaving.
That look will always break you down
His expression always shatters your resolve.
Don't look back now
Once more, resist the impulse to look back.
