Don't Turn Around
Heartbreak Unveiled: Embracing Farewell Without Turning Back
Lyrics
Don't look around
Cautioning against looking back
As you walk away
While departing from a situation
Don't look around
Reiterating the advice not to look back
Think what the people might say
Considering potential judgment from others
If you turn around it wouldn't be good
Suggesting negative consequences if one turns around
Folks would say she only did what she should
Anticipating societal criticism for conforming
Don't turn around
Repeating the advice not to turn around
Don't turn around
Emphasizing the importance of not looking back
Don't look at me
Advising against making eye contact
As you pass me by
While someone passes by
Don't look at me
Reiterating the advice not to look
Or we may start to cry
Suggesting emotional vulnerability if eye contact occurs
Don't look at me, oh oh no
Warning against looking with emotions
A heart can't stand to see you go
Expressing the difficulty of a heart witnessing departure
Don't turn around
Repeating the advice not to turn around
Don't turn around
Emphasizing the importance of not looking back
Time after time I have waited
Describing a history of waiting for a smile
To see you give one little smile
Anticipating joy from a small gesture
And now through a tear things are hazy
Describing a current emotional state through tears
I'm so sad all the while
Expressing ongoing sadness
Don't pity me
Discouraging pity as one fades away
As I fade form view
As the person becomes less visible
Don't pity me
Repeating the discouragement of pity
For you'll find somebody new
Hinting at the possibility of finding a new connection
Don't pity me, oh oh no
Reiterating the plea not to pity
Too bad, I loved you so
Expressing regret for loving someone deeply
Don't turn around
Repeating the advice not to turn around
Don't turn around
Emphasizing the importance of not looking back
Don't pity me oh oh no
Stressing again not to pity
Too bad, I loved you so
Reiterating the regret of intense love
Don't turn around
Repeating the advice not to turn around
Don't turn around
Emphasizing the importance of not looking back
