You're Gonna Leave
Heart's Betrayal: Stephen Marley's Tale of Love's Pain
Lyrics
Which way from here
Expressing confusion about the direction to take in a situation.
I'm caught up in the pages of my mind
Feeling mentally entangled or absorbed in memories.
And it's not so clear
Uncertain or ambiguous situation causing confusion.
But it seems the hurt is way too much this time
Perceiving significant emotional pain that seems overwhelming.
Cause I see a vaine look in your eyes
Observing a troubled or pained expression in the partner's eyes.
Tell me, do you see the same, same look in mine
Questioning if the partner perceives the same pain in one's own eyes.
Sandpapper kisses, papercut bliss
Describing a complex mix of rough and tender emotions in a relationship.
Don't know what this is, but it all leads to this
Expressing uncertainty about the nature of the relationship.
You're gonna leave, her
Predicting that the partner will eventually leave.
You have deceived, her
Acknowledging one's role in deceiving the partner.
Ooh just a girl
Referring to the partner as just a girl, possibly diminishing her significance.
Now here I go again
Starting a new phase with a sense of repeating past mistakes.
She said I'll break her heart again
Acknowledging the potential to hurt the partner again.
She plays the fool again
Describing the partner as playing a role of being foolish.
She said I'll break the rules again
Anticipating breaking rules and causing harm again.
Though I disagree
Disagreeing with the partner's perception of knowing the speaker more than oneself.
She thinks she knows me more than me
Highlighting the partner's confidence in understanding the speaker.
It's so hard to see
Expressing difficulty in understanding one's own emotions.
What the voice keeps telling me
Referencing an inner voice that adds to the confusion.
Ooh just a girl with featherweight curls
Describing the partner as a girl with delicate, light curls.
To expose all she knows you play like tease
Suggesting that the partner reveals what she knows through teasing.
Just a Girl with featherweight curls
Repeating the description of the partner with delicate curls.
To expose all she knows you play like tease
Reiterating the idea of the partner exposing what she knows through teasing.
You're gonna leave, her
Repeating the prediction of the partner leaving.
You have deceived, her
Reiterating one's acknowledgment of deceiving the partner.
Ooh just a girl
Repeating the reference to the partner as just a girl.
