Go Again
Love's Pretense: A Tale of Heartbreak and Betrayal
Lyrics
City lights and stop signs
Reflecting on urban surroundings and traffic signals.
Pass the glare of my headlights
Passing through the reflections of my car's headlights.
If loves a game I'm losing bad
Expressing a sense of failure in the game of love.
Writing songs in fluorescent lights
Creating music in the artificial glow of fluorescent lights.
When it's well past daylight
Working on songs even after the night has passed.
Why are all these words so sad
Questioning the melancholic nature of the words used.
Uh oh here we go again
Expressing a feeling of déjà vu or repetition in relationships.
Roped on by another friend
Feeling deceived or manipulated by another friend.
Well I guess it was all pretend
Realizing that the friendship was not genuine.
I wanted more
Desiring more from the relationship or friendship.
I'm just a clown at your party
Acknowledging a sense of being an entertainer or not taken seriously.
I know you said that you're sorry
Recalling an apology, possibly insincere.
But you know you left in a heart beat
Highlighting a sudden and heart-wrenching departure.
And shut the door
Emphasizing the finality of the departure, symbolized by shutting the door.
You talk to me when you need to
Pointing out selective communication, only when needed.
Make me think that I need you
Manipulating emotions by creating dependency.
You see all my walls crumbling down
Noticing emotional defenses crumbling.
Well You got me down under your shoe
Feeling subjugated or dominated in the relationship.
I hold my breath til I turn blue
Holding one's breath, possibly indicating anxiety or anticipation.
If loves a game then I want out
Expressing a desire to exit the painful game of love.
Uh oh here we go again
Repeating the cycle of feeling deceived in relationships.
Roped on by another friend
Experiencing betrayal from another friend.
I guess it was all pretend
Realizing that the previous connection was not authentic.
I wanted more
Desiring more than what the relationship offered.
I'm just a clown at your party
Feeling like an entertainer without genuine connection.
I know you said that you're sorry
Recalling an apology that may not have resolved the pain.
But you know you left in a heart beat
Reiterating the abrupt departure and emotional impact.
And shut the door
Emphasizing the finality of the departure once again.
Uh oh here we go again
Expressing a sense of resignation or inevitability in repeating patterns.
Roped on by another friend
Experiencing betrayal once more, possibly from a different friend.
I guess it was all pretend
Acknowledging the artificiality of past connections.
I wanted more
Longing for more meaningful connections in relationships.
I'm just a clown at your party
Feeling like a performer rather than a participant at social events.
I know you said that you're sorry
Recalling an apology, questioning its sincerity.
But you know you left in a heart beat
Reiterating the sudden departure and emotional impact.
And shut the door
Emphasizing the finality of the departure once again.
