Make Believe in Love: Unraveling the Emotions Behind Elijah Woods' Lyrics
Lyrics
Maybe I'm overthinking all this
Expressing uncertainty and contemplation about the situation.
Or maybe it's time to say what's really on my mind
Suggesting the need to communicate genuine thoughts and feelings.
You haven't been the same since august
Noting a change in the person since August, highlighting a specific time of significance.
And I haven't been the same since you walked in my life
Expressing a personal transformation since the other person entered the speaker's life.
Oh when did this get so real
Reflecting on the intensification of emotions and the reality of the situation.
Can't make you feel what you don't feel
Acknowledging the inability to influence someone else's emotions.
And I miss you tonight
Expressing a longing or yearning for the person during the night.
Baby it's been too many years just to give you up
Indicating a reluctance to let go despite the passage of time.
Cause through all these tears I still see our love
Despite difficulties, recognizing the persistence of love through tears.
If our story's ending, do I still go on pretending
Pondering the possibility of the relationship ending and the struggle to pretend otherwise.
Like this couldn't be real, and make believe in us anyway
Questioning the authenticity of the relationship and the role of imagination in maintaining it.
Maybe I'm being too dramatic
Considering the potential for exaggeration or theatricality in one's emotions.
Or maybe you're done and i can't read between the lines
Suspecting a lack of clarity in the other person's feelings and communication.
So here I go oh
Embarking on a self-reflection or admission of shortcomings.
Saying I could do better
Admitting the belief in personal improvement and potential.
When both of us know you don't want it forever
Acknowledging a mutual understanding that the relationship may not be eternal.
It's taking its toll on me
Describing the emotional toll the situation is taking on the speaker.
Thought that you'd fight til end oh
Expressing an expectation that the other person would fight for the relationship.
Cause I'll fight til the end oh
Reaffirming the speaker's commitment to fighting for the relationship.
When did this get so real
Reiterating the increased intensity and reality of the emotions involved.
With no regard for how I feel
Noting a lack of consideration for the speaker's emotions.
And I miss you tonight
Expressing a yearning for the person during the night.
Baby it's been too many years just to give you up
Repeating the reluctance to let go despite the passage of time.
Cause through all these tears I still see our love
Acknowledging the persistence of love through tears.
If our story's ending, do I still go on pretending
Reiterating the contemplation of the possible end of the relationship and the struggle with pretending.
Like this couldn't be real, and make believe in us anyway
Emphasizing the role of imagination in maintaining belief in the relationship.
To make believe in us
Expressing a desire or decision to continue believing in the relationship despite challenges.
Baby it's been too many years just to give you up
Repeating the reluctance to let go despite the passage of time.
Cause through all these tears I still see our love
Affirming the persistence of love through tears.
If our story's ending, do I still go on pretending
Reiterating the contemplation of the possible end of the relationship and the struggle with pretending.
Like this couldn't be real, and make believe in us anyway
Affirming the continued belief in the relationship through imagination.
