Lyrics

Trying hard to force a smile

Expressing difficulty in putting on a happy face.

I can't fake it anymore

Unable to pretend any longer.

All dressed up to go out somewhere

Dressed up for an outing but regrets not staying home.

But I wish I stayed at home

Expressing a desire to avoid the current situation.


So I'll make an excuse to leave the room

Creating a reason to exit a noisy environment.

It's too loud

Describing the loudness as a reason for leaving.

And I'll contemplate

Reflecting on the decision to leave and contemplating.

How long I can wait

Considering how long one can endure and wait.

And keep my mouth shut

Deciding to keep quiet instead of expressing feelings.


And I don't wanna be here as much as you do

Not wanting to be present as much as the other person.

You do

Reiterating the lack of desire to be present.

And I don't wanna be here as much as you do

Repeating the sentiment of not wanting to be there.


And I'll contemplate

Reflecting on the duration one can pretend.

How long i can fake

Considering how long the act of faking can be sustained.

And keep my mouth shut

Choosing to keep quiet and not express true feelings.


And I'll contemplate

Reflecting on the time one can endure and wait silently.

How long i can wait

Considering how long one can maintain silence and wait.

And keep my mouth shut

Choosing to keep quiet despite the internal struggle.


And I'll stare at the floor and leave the room

Opting to stare at the floor and leave the room silently.

And I'll stare at the floor can't look at you

Avoiding eye contact by staring at the floor.


And I don't wanna be here as much as you do

Reiterating the lack of desire to be present.

You do

Confirming the mutual sentiment of not wanting to be there.

And I don't wanna be here as much as you

Repeating the lack of desire to be present.

You do

Confirming the mutual sentiment of not wanting to be there.


And I'll contemplate

Reflecting on the time it will take to finally leave.

How long it will take

Considering how much time it will take to make an exit.

To leave

Expressing a desire to leave the current situation.
