Don't Come Back
Farewell Echoes: Reckless Kelly's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Did you expect me not to be surprised?
Expressing surprise at the situation
I see that far-off look there in your eyes
Noticing a distant, disconnected look in the person's eyes
Did you think I wouldn't realize
Awareness of the other person's actions
What you'd done
Realizing what the person did during the speaker's absence
While I was gone?
Emphasizing the time of the speaker's absence
Did you want to hear that it's alright
Asking if the person wants validation for their actions
Go ahead and find some other guy
Encouraging the person to seek someone else
And if that's what you want,
Accepting the person's choice
I guess it's fine
Stating a condition: not to return
Just don't come back
Firmly requesting the person not to return
Here anymore
Reiterating the request for the person not to come back
Just don't come back
Repeating the request not to return
Here anymore
Stating a lack of belief in previous statements
And I won't believe those lines
Distrusting what was previously said
That you told me before
Highlighting skepticism towards past assurances
Just walk away now
Instructing the person to leave immediately
Walk out that door
Emphasizing the urgency of departure
And don't you come back here anymore
Reiterating the instruction not to return
What'd you think, that this was my first time
Questioning if the person thought it was the speaker's first experience of being replaced
To be replaced and sent on down the line
Expressing being substituted and discarded before
Only once I thought I'd
Admitting to giving a chance previously
Give it time,
Expressing patience that was misplaced
But I was wrong
Admitting an error in judgment
It took too long
Realizing the delay in recognizing the situation
So just don't come back
Reiterating the request not to return
Here anymore
Stating disbelief in past statements
And I won't believe those lines
Expressing doubt about previous assurances
That you told me before
Distrusting previous statements
Just walk away now
Emphasizing the instruction to leave immediately
Walk out that door
Reiterating the urgency of departure
And don't you come back here anymore, oh no now
Emphasizing the insistence not to return
Don't come back here anymore
Final plea not to come back
