Lyrics
So I knew you were fakin'
Recognition that someone is pretending or being insincere
About your dreams
Skepticism about the authenticity of the person's dreams
'Cause when you're wakin'
Highlighting the contrast between dreams and reality
Everything's what it seems
Suggesting that things appear different in reality than in dreams
I know you got roses
Awareness of gestures or gifts that may not be genuine
You wanta throw on my grave
Mention of a symbolic gesture, possibly insincere condolences
But all the time you
Noticing inconsistency or insincerity over time
You can't seem [to ?]
Uncertainty or confusion expressed through incomplete phrase
Oh, doesn't it hurt
Reflecting on the emotional pain caused by deception
To see me reachin'
Noticing someone witnessing personal achievements
Words and excuses lame
Acknowledging weak excuses and justifications
While it's time for leavin'
Indicating the right time to move on or leave a situation
So mama don't hit the fruit jar
Avoiding confrontation or conflict with a suggestion
I'd rather see ya hit me
Preference for verbal conflict over physical harm
Just cause you go too far
Warning against crossing certain boundaries
And I'll lose what's real
Fear of losing genuine feelings or connections
You'll out fine babe
Assurance that the other person will be fine despite the separation
Like father like son
Comparison of behavior to that of a parent
I was wasted at the fork roads
Feeling lost or misguided at a critical decision point
I'm too old to run
Acceptance of the inability to escape or change the situation
Oh, doesn't it hurt
Reiteration of the emotional pain caused by the situation
To see me reachin'
Observing someone witnessing personal achievements (repeated)
Words and excuses lame
Reaffirmation of the inadequacy of words and excuses
While it's time for bleedin'
Emphasizing the need for healing or recovery
So if it's pity I need
Expressing a desire for empathy or compassion
[Or retraction] I bleed
Unclear expression related to emotional pain or vulnerability
'Cause I never
Denial or disbelief regarding a certain situation
'Cause I never
Repetition for emphasis on the denial
'Cause I never
Continued repetition of denial
Asked for nothing
Asserting independence and self-sufficiency
So mama don't hit the fruit jar
Avoiding confrontation or conflict with a suggestion (repeated)
I'd rather see ya hit me
Preference for verbal conflict over physical harm (repeated)
Just cause you go too far
Warning against crossing certain boundaries (repeated)
And I'll lose what's real
Fear of losing genuine feelings or connections (repeated)
Oh, doesn't it hurt
Reiteration of the emotional pain caused by the situation (repeated)
To see me reachin'
Observing someone witnessing personal achievements (repeated)
Words and excuses lame
Reaffirmation of the inadequacy of words and excuses (repeated)
While it's time for bleedin'
Emphasizing the need for healing or recovery (repeated)
