Look Away
Heartache Unveiled: Hootie & the Blowfish's Emotional Tale
Lyrics
I saw her standing there
I noticed her presence
Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong
Her crying indicated something was troubling her
I asked her what it was
I inquired about her distress
She looked away and said my daddy's home
She avoided eye contact and revealed her father's return
I knew what that meant
I understood the implication
It meant that I could never see her again
It signified the end of our relationship
I had seen this once before
I had witnessed a similar situation previously
I didn't wanna deal with it anymore
I didn't want to confront this issue again
Look away she said, as she turned to me
She requested me to look away
And when I tried to hold her
When I attempted to embrace her
I couldn't let her be
I couldn't allow her to distance herself
Let her be, let her be
Let her have her space
I said why, why do you make me cry
I asked for the reason behind her actions
She said, I love you so, look away
She loves me but wants me to ignore her feelings
I don't wanna know
She prefers not to disclose the problem
I saw her standing there
I observed her again in a similar situation
Tears upon her cheek told me something's wrong
Tears indicated a recurring issue
I said, what baby
I inquired again
She looked away and said my daddy's home
She repeated her father's return as the cause
Look away she said, and she turned to me
She urged me to look away once more
But darling, oh I loved her, couldn't let her be
Despite my love, I couldn't let her push me away
Let her be, let her be
Allowing her the space she desires
Look away, look away
Repeated plea to avert my gaze
She said, I love you so, look away
Expresses love but insists on being disregarded
