Don't Let Her See Me Cry
Heartache Unveiled: Concealing Tears in Lefty Frizzell's Melodic Farewell
Lyrics
Won't you tell, tell her for me
Asking someone to convey a message to the subject
That she can go, I set her free
Expressing permission for the subject to leave, granting freedom
For I don't want to say goodbye
Desire to avoid bidding farewell
And let her see me cry
Not wanting the subject to witness emotional vulnerability
Tell to her just any old thing
Instructing to convey any excuse or reason
Say I went somewhere to sing
Suggesting an alibi involving singing elsewhere
For I just can't look her in the eyes
Unable to face the subject directly due to emotional distress
And let her see me cry
Avoiding displaying personal emotions to the subject
I don't want to see or talk to anyone I know
Refusal to engage with familiar people until the subject departs
Until she's gone, until she goes
Insisting on isolation until the subject's departure
So you see the reason why
Explaining the rationale behind the requested lie
I want you to tell a lie
Desire for deception to spare emotional exposure
And, just for me, say goodbye
Asking for a fabricated farewell to conceal emotions
And don't let her see me cry
Emphasizing the need to shield emotions from the subject
I don't want to see or talk to anyone I know
Reiteration of avoiding familiar interactions till subject's departure
Until she's gone, until she goes
Continued insistence on isolation until subject's departure
So you see the reason why
Reiterating the reason behind requesting deception
I want you to tell a lie
Continued desire for a fabricated farewell to hide emotions
And, just for me, say goodbye
Asking to ensure emotional shielding from the subject
And don't let her see me cry
Emphasizing the need to conceal personal emotions from the subject
