Waterproof Mascara
Unveiling Unreciprocated Love: Waterproof Mascara
Lyrics
You caught me at the right time
You came into my life at an opportune moment
You trapped me in your hazel eyes
You ensnared me with your hazel eyes
And for the first little bit
Initially, things seemed to be going well
We seemed to be doing fine
Gradually, our foundation began to crumble
But then I started noticing
I started noticing issues in our relationship
Our foundation started crumbling
Our base or connection was falling apart
But it was too late because you were already bound to me
Despite the problems, it was too late, as you were already committed to me
You barely kiss me
You rarely kiss me
But when you do it's so rewarding
But when you do, it feels rewarding
When you love me
When you express love, I feel a sense of elation
I feel like I am floating
I feel like I am floating when you love me
Maybe it's just me
Suggesting a possibility that the issues are perceived rather than real
Maybe really it's my fault that you got bored of me
Hinting at self-blame for the relationship issues
All my self esteem is gone
Expressing a loss of self-esteem
Now I got to wear waterproof mascara whenever I'm around ya
Now I have to wear waterproof mascara to hide tears when I'm around you
Trying to be perfect for you
Striving to be flawless for your approval
You never embrace me
You don't show affection except in bed
Unless we're in the bed sheets
Physical intimacy seems to be the primary form of connection
Why do you act so aloof?
Questioning the distant or unresponsive behavior
Waterproof mascara
Reference to the waterproof mascara as a metaphor for hiding emotions
I gave my body to ya
I gave myself to you emotionally and physically
I always wear your favourite perfume
Making efforts to please with the favorite perfume
I'm trying to fake it
Attempting to pretend or act as if everything is okay
I don't think that I'll make it
Doubtful about successfully maintaining the facade
But it's not like you'd care if you knew
You wouldn't care even if you knew about my struggles
The same thing happens every night
Repetition of dissatisfaction in the relationship
I never end up satisfied
Continual feelings of loneliness after intimacy
You leave me lonely when you're done, it's like you use me just so you can get by
Sense of being used for convenience after intimacy
And you clearly don't believe in equivalent exchange
Pointing out an imbalance in the give-and-take of the relationship
I'm always giving, but all you do is take
Feeling like the one who gives without receiving in return
Maybe it's just in my mind
Suggesting that the issues might be subjective or imagined
I've been walking that line
Continuously navigating a fine line or delicate balance
Maybe true love is supposed to make you cry
Ruminating on the idea that true love involves emotional pain
Now I gotta wear
Reiteration of the need to wear waterproof mascara
Waterproof mascara whenever I'm around ya
Continuing efforts to appear perfect for the partner
Trying to be perfect for you
Repeating the emotional struggle of wearing waterproof mascara
You never embrace me
Lack of emotional connection outside of physical intimacy
Unless we're in the bed sheets
Highlighting the limited context for showing affection
Why do you act so aloof?
Questioning the partner's distant behavior
Waterproof mascara
Repeating the metaphor of waterproof mascara
I gave my body to ya
Reaffirming emotional and physical commitment
I always wear your favourite perfume
Continuing efforts to please with the favorite perfume
I'm trying to fake it
Struggling to maintain a facade of well-being
I don't think that I'll make it
Expressing doubt about successfully pretending
But it's not like you'd care if you knew
Belief that the partner wouldn't care about the struggles if they knew
