What Leaving Looks Like
Unveiling Heartache: Decoding the Emotions in Randy Houser's 'What Leaving Looks Like'
Lyrics
I've seen that look before
I recognize that expression
I know what we're headed for
I understand where our relationship is heading
And it kills me
It pains me emotionally
I know what you're trying to hide
I'm aware of what you're trying to keep secret
But baby you just can't disguise
However, you cannot hide your true emotions
What you're feeling
I know what you're going through
The writing's on the wall
Clear signs are evident
The silence in the hall
The quietness in the hallway is conveying a message
Is speaking clearly
Communication is evident through silence
You can't fool me
You can't deceive me
I learned it well the first time
I've learned this lesson thoroughly in the past
You're coming home late again
You're returning home late once again
I won't ask you where you've been
I won't inquire about your whereabouts
'Cause I know it
Because I already know
If it ain't the laughing on the phone
If it's not the laughter on the phone
It's the cloud your walking on
It's the euphoria you're experiencing
That shows it
That reveals the truth
No you can't fool me
You can't deceive me
This ain't my first ride
This is not my first experience
So come on and make it hurt
So go ahead and inflict pain
Do your best to do your worst
Try your hardest to cause harm
Put me through hell
Subject me to a difficult situation
It's as dark as it is cold
The situation is both bleak and chilly
It's holding on to letting go
It's about holding on and letting go simultaneously
It's a story I know all too well
A familiar narrative to me
You can't fool me
You can't deceive me
I've seen that door from both sides
I've experienced that situation from both perspectives
You can't fool me
You can't deceive me
I know what leaving looks like
I recognize the signs of a departure
So go on and make it hurt
So go ahead and inflict pain
Do your best to do your worst
Try your hardest to cause harm
Put me through hell
Subject me to a difficult situation
It's as dark as it is cold
The situation is both bleak and chilly
It's holding on to letting go
It's about holding on and letting go simultaneously
It's a story I know all too well
A familiar narrative to me
You can't fool me
You can't deceive me
This ain't my first ride
This is not my first experience
No, you can't fool me
No, you can't deceive me
I know what leaving looks like
I recognize the signs of departure
What leaving looks like
Recognizing the signs of someone leaving
