The Woman Before Me
Unraveling the Past: The Emotional Echoes of 'The Woman Before Me'
Lyrics
I can see you turn away
I notice you turning away
When I ask what for
Curious about the reason
You say it isn't anything
You claim it's nothing of concern
But I'm not sure
I'm skeptical, unsure
Something underneath the skin
There's something bothering you internally
Won't let you be and you try to keep it in
Trying to conceal it, but struggling
But I can see
I can perceive it despite your efforts
The woman before me must've been hard on you
Past relationships may have been tough on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes I never put you through
The pain in your eyes is unfamiliar to me
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
Sometimes it seems like you're addressing
The woman before me and you
Issues from the past and our relationship
Sometimes in an argument
In disagreements, emotions may reveal
It will show when you go a little farther than
Actions exceeding your intentions
You meant to go
You might say things you don't truly mean
I know you don't mean the things
I understand, and I want to alleviate your pain
That you say
I just want to ease the pain that's in your way
Expressing a desire to ease your suffering
But the woman before me must've been hard on you
Past relationships may have left scars
'Cause that hurt in your eyes I never put you through
The emotional distress is something new with me
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
It feels like you're addressing
The woman before me and you
Both the woman before me and our present situation
If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
If there are painful memories, don't let them affect us
Don't let them keep us apart
Don't allow them to create distance between us
You oughta know you've got nothing to fear
You have nothing to fear; my heart is open
Here in my heart
I'm here for you
'Cause you and I will never be
Our relationship won't be like the past
Like the past whatever kind of memories
Regardless of the memories you hold
That you have
Nothing will harm you now
Nothings gonna hurt you now
I don't want to make promises I can't keep
Can't you see I don't want to make a vow
That I can't keep
I don't want to commit to something unachievable
But the woman before me must've been hard on you
Past relationships may have left scars
'Cause that hurt in your eyes I never put you through
The emotional distress is something new with me
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
It feels like you're addressing
The woman before me and you
Both the woman before me and our present situation
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
Reflection on the past and present
The woman before me and you
Considering the impact of the woman before me
