Smokin' Gun
Betrayal's Grin: Unveiling the Smokin' Gun
Lyrics
She came in late, she hadn't done that in years
She came home late, which was unusual for her in recent years.
She came in wasted, said it's just a couple of beers
She arrived intoxicated, claiming it was only from a couple of beers.
She said nothing when I asked her , where she'd been and what she'd done
She remained silent when questioned about her whereabouts and activities.
And she was smilin, yeah, she was smilin, that's the smokin' gun
Despite her silence, she was smiling, indicating a hidden truth - the "smokin' gun."
She had her hair down, like she used to do
Her appearance resembled the way she used to present herself.
We got crazy, chasin' tequila around the room
They engaged in wild behavior, fueled by chasing tequila around the room.
I wanted to believe that she was with the girls out havin' fun
The narrator wanted to believe she was with her friends, having a good time.
But she was smiling, yeah, she was smilin'
Despite the situation, she continued smiling.
That's the smokin' gun in her hands
The "smokin' gun" metaphorically refers to the undeniable evidence of her actions.
Thought I wouldn't care
The narrator thought he wouldn't be affected or bothered by her actions.
All those little signs, she left everywhere
There were subtle signs of her behavior left unacknowledged by the narrator.
I never took the time, I never took the time to see
Regretfully, the narrator never took the time to observe and understand these signs.
Now it's killin' me
The lack of attention to these signs is now causing emotional pain.
She was leavin', like she'd never done before
She was leaving in a manner unprecedented in their relationship.
She was walkin', walkin' right out our front door
Walking away without looking back, signifying a decisive departure.
She had her bags packed, she didn't look back
She had her belongings packed, emphasizing the finality of the situation.
My God, what I've I done
The narrator realizes the gravity of the situation and expresses regret.
She was smilin', she was smilin'
Even in leaving, she continued to smile, suggesting a hidden motive.
That's the smokin' gun in her hands
The metaphorical "smokin' gun" is still present, confirming the reality of the situation.
Thought I wouldn't care
The narrator acknowledges that he does care about the unfolding events.
All those little signs, she left everywhere
Reflecting on the signs left behind, realizing their significance.
I never took the time, I never took the time to see
Regret for not taking the time to understand and address the issues earlier.
Now it's killin' me
The emotional impact of the situation is now causing profound distress.
Wooh! Now it's killin' me
An exclamation emphasizing the intensity of the emotional pain.
That's the smokin' gun in her hands
Reiteration of the presence of the metaphorical "smokin' gun."
Thought I wouldn't care
