She Don't Look Back
Unraveling Shadows: Dan Fogelberg's 'She Don't Look Back'
Lyrics
She's got a way of getting so inside you
She possesses a captivating ability to deeply affect your emotions.
That you think she's gonna steal your soul
Her influence is so intense that you fear losing a part of yourself.
She's got a way of making sure that you can't let go.
She ensures that you remain emotionally attached and unable to move on.
She's got a trail of broken hearts behind her
There's a history of hearts she has left broken in her wake.
Like a shadow where no shadow's cast
Similar to a shadow without a source, her impact is subtle yet profound.
I ain't the first one and I doubt that I'll be the last.
I am not the first affected, and it's likely others will follow.
Too long--too late
Time has passed for too long, and it's now too late.
You're wrong
Your assumption is incorrect.
To ever think she'd wait.
Mistaken to believe she would wait for you.
She don't look back.
She doesn't reflect on the past.
She don't look back.
Reiterating that she doesn't look back.
The lady don't look back
Emphasizing that the woman never looks back.
And when she's gone she's gone.
Once she departs, there's no turning back.
You can never tell just what she's after
Her intentions are elusive; you can't predict what she seeks.
You can never read it in her eyes
You cannot discern her motives by looking into her eyes.
And in her laughter there's no hint of compromise.
Her laughter lacks any indication of willingness to compromise.
You can stare into the fire forever
Despite intense scrutiny, you can't fathom her true desires.
You can squeeze a stone until it bleeds
Even applying extreme pressure yields no revelation of her vulnerabilities.
But you will never find the kind of love she needs.
You'll never discover the specific love she requires.
Too much--too late
It's too much, and the realization comes too late.
You're such a fool to think she'd wait.
You're foolish to think she would wait for you.
She don't look back.
Reaffirmation that she doesn't look back.
She don't look back.
Reiteration that she doesn't look back.
The lady don't look back
Stressing that the lady never looks back.
She don't look back.
Once more emphasizing that she doesn't look back.
She don't look back.
Repeat assertion that she doesn't look back.
The lady don't look back
Reiterating that the lady never looks back.
