This is a pretty personal song for me. It reminds me of my husband. We make decisions and I assume we are making them together and after it's all done, my man decides to tell me that he didn't really want to make that decision, he was just doing it to make me happy. It reminds me of the line, "Then it's hard to tell you kindly that ain't what I'm like." It's like a lie, but one of omission and he has a hard time breaking the news to me that he never really wanted to do what we did. It's incredibly frustrating and I end up feeling guilty for our situation or like I forced him into something he didn't want to do.
The song talks about trying to tell things apart that look alike, like trying to determine why she's crying or in what manner hands are waving goodbye, and is comparing the appearance of a lie to the truth. The singer has been telling her lies and she believed him and now everything is unraveling and he's trying to get out of the situation and backtrack on what he said.
