fake smile
Unveiling Hidden Pains: braveweather's Reflection on Lost Connections
Lyrics
a fake smile
A forced or insincere smile
you'd never tell
You keep your emotions hidden
you're colder now
You've become emotionally distant
we never figure out how
Unable to understand how to solve our problems
to slow down
We struggle to take a break and relax
and pace ourselves
We need to learn to pace ourselves
we're older now
As we age, things have changed
you're not the least bit better
You haven't improved at all
don't fake a smile
Advising against pretending to be happy
we're better letting go
Suggesting it's better to move on
it's not enough to say that it's not my fault
Denying responsibility is insufficient
don't change your mind
Discouraging a change of heart
we're better on our own
Emphasizing independence is better
it's not enough to say that it's not my fault
Reiterating that blaming isn't enough
I know it hurts
Acknowledging emotional pain
I know you only cut me down
Recognizing hurtful behavior due to insecurity
Cause you're insecure
Pointing out that insecurity led to hurtful words
(you died the day you said those words)
Suggesting a significant change in the relationship
I miss the way things were
Expressing nostalgia for the past
When we were kids
Reflecting on a simpler, carefree time
And there was no one keeping score
Recalling a time without competition
You're not that person anymore
Noting a transformation in your character
don't fake a smile
Repeating advice on avoiding fake emotions
we're better letting go
Reiterating the benefits of moving on
it's not enough to say that it's not my fault
Stating that denial is not sufficient
don't change your mind
Advising against a change of heart
we're better on our own
Emphasizing independence post-breakup
it's not enough to say that it's not my fault
Reiterating that blaming isn't enough after separation
I wish that I could mourn your death
Expressing a desire to mourn the end of the relationship
You always left me second best
Feeling consistently undervalued in the relationship
I wish that I could mourn your death
Repeating the sentiment of feeling second best
You always left me second best
Highlighting a recurring sense of being secondary
don't fake a smile
Restating advice on avoiding insincere emotions
we're better letting go
Emphasizing the advantages of moving on
it's not enough to say that it's not my fault
Asserting that denial is insufficient
don't change your mind
Discouraging a change of heart post-breakup
we're better on our own
Affirming independence is better after separation
it's not enough to say that it's not my fault
Reiterating that blaming isn't enough after parting ways
