Before You Leave
Fading Echoes: Unraveling the Emotions Behind 'Before You Leave'
Lyrics
Tell me what you're feeling
Taking interest in your emotions, wanting to understand.
Know you got a million reasons run
Aware that you have many reasons to depart or distance yourself.
Putting space between us cause you're
Creating distance between us because you feel the relationship is ending.
Feeling like it's already done
Believing that the relationship is already over.
What time are you comin' home
Asking about your return time.
Never answering your phone
Not responding to calls, avoiding communication.
Baby I won't ask anymore
Expressing a willingness to stop questioning.
Now you're talking with a new tone
Noticing a change in the way you speak.
Waiting up all alone
Staying awake by myself, waiting for you.
Pickin' up my heart off the floor
Emotionally hurt, trying to recover.
Caught my eye at seventeen
Noticed you when young and found you appealing.
Drenched my heart in gasoline
Intense emotions, likened to fuel on fire.
This love ain't looking like
Realizing love isn’t matching expectations.
What's in my dreams
Love isn't reflecting what was hoped for.
Carolina setting sun
Referencing a picturesque sunset in Carolina.
You were wild and born to run
Describing you as adventurous and free-spirited.
Say all the things you never said to me
Encouraging you to say things previously left unsaid.
Before you leave
Expressing this sentiment before your departure.
Putting two and two together
Piecing information together, realizing the relationship's end.
Well I guess I ain't the one anymore
Understanding that you're no longer the chosen one.
When things just getting frustratin'
When situations become difficult.
When we ain't communicatin'
When communication breaks down.
You're already halfway out the door
Realizing your readiness to leave.
When you're hiding in a disguise
Being distant, avoiding direct connection.
Never look in my eyes
Avoiding eye contact, evading intimacy.
Guess we had a good run
Acknowledging the good times shared.
Well it ain't about the history
Understanding that the past isn’t crucial now.
Now it's kinda clear to me
Realizing the situation clearly.
Damage is already done
Recognizing that damage has already been done.
Caught my eye at seventeen
Recalling the initial attraction at a young age.
Drenched my heart in gasoline
Intense emotional impact likened to flammable material.
This love aint looking like
Love isn’t meeting anticipated ideals.
What's in my dreams
Love isn't aligning with dreams or desires.
Carolina settin' sun
Referencing a beautiful sunset in Carolina.
You were wild and born to run
Describing your nature as untamed and free.
Say all the things you never said to me
Asking for unspoken truths before departing.
Before you leave
Expressing this sentiment before you leave.
You've always been the one
Recognizing your tendency to cause destruction.
To burn things down
Identifying a pattern of causing things to end.
Caught my eye at seventeen
Recalling the initial attraction at a young age.
Ya drenched my heart in gasoline
Intense emotions likened to flammable material.
This love aint looking like
Love isn’t meeting anticipated ideals.
What's in my dreams
Love isn't aligning with dreams or desires.
Carolina settin' sun
Referencing a beautiful sunset in Carolina.
You were wild and born to run
Describing your nature as untamed and free.
Say all the things you never said to me
Asking for unspoken truths before departing.
Before you leave
Expressing this sentiment before you leave.
Before you leave
Reiterating the sentiment before your departure.
Before you leave
Re-emphasizing the sentiment before your departure.
Ahhh before you leave
Repetition of the plea before you leave.
