Old Man Music

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It wasn’t calm, it wasn’t peace
There was something breaking through
She kept her eyes locked onto mine
Like she was scared of what I’d do
Her eyes asked me if I’d be alright
Since her voice could only shake
Like she already knew
I couldn’t take what was at stake

[Pre-Chorus]
She wasn’t thinking about herself
Or what was coming next
She was standing at the edge
Worried what I’d do without her next

[Chorus]
The look on her face
Was fear and sadness for me
Like she was leaving me behind
With something I couldn’t see
She didn’t cry, she didn’t turn away
Just held me in her gaze
Like she was trying to stay alive
Inside the look on her face

[Verse 2]
Her hands were calm, her eyes were not
They searched me like a plea
Like she was measuring the damage
This would do to me
She smiled once, then let it fall
Like it hurt too much to fake
I think she stayed longer than she could
Just to watch me breathe and break

[Pre-Chorus]
She saw the road I’d have to walk
Before I ever did
She was afraid of what I’d face
When I had to live without her in place

[Chorus]
The look on her face
Was worry dressed as love
Like she was asking every second
If I’d be strong enough
She didn’t ask me to be brave
Didn’t tell me I’d be okay
She just watched me closely
The look on her face

[Bridge]
If love could stop a moment
She would’ve held that line
Not for herself, but for me.-
Running out of time
I think that’s what still haunts me
More than her leaving this life
She went afraid for me
with the look on the face of my wife

[Final Chorus]
The look on her face
Was fear she couldn’t hide
Sadness for the life I’d have
On the other side
And I carry that weight
Every step I take
I survived the moment
But not the look on her face

[Outro]
She left with concern in her eyes
I stayed with the ache
Of the look on her face

the look on her face
