Pretend
Love's Deceptive Dance: Unraveling the Emotion in Jake Godsil's 'Pretend'
Lyrics
I love you
Expressing affection towards someone
So it seems
Indicating that love appears to be the case
But now I
Presently experiencing difficulty or uncertainty
Just can't tell
Unable to distinguish or determine
You had me
Having control or influence over me
On my knees
Metaphorically feeling submissive or defeated
I guess I
Concluding or inferring
Might as well
Perhaps equally beneficial to
There's nothing that you could do
There's no action that wouldn't result in severe consequences
That wouldn't crash down and burn you
Any action taken will lead to failure or ruin
Waiting on someone
Expecting someone to guide or lead me to my rightful place
To take me to where I belong
Seeking a resolution or a place of belonging
When troubles won't end
When problems persist endlessly
Close both your eyes cus it's
Suggesting shutting out reality and imagining
Just pretend
Opting to pretend rather than facing reality
It's always
Consistently leading to the same outcomes
Ends to means
Concluding or justifying the consequences
And I can't
Unable to break away from a binding influence or situation
Break the spell
Looking for someone to guide or lead me to my rightful place
Waiting on someone
Seeking a resolution or a place of belonging
To take me to where I belong
When problems persist endlessly
When troubles won't end
Suggesting shutting out reality and imagining
Close both your eyes cus it's
Opting to pretend rather than facing reality
Just pretend
Consistently leading to the same outcomes
When I look back in time
Reflecting on past experiences, feeling only anger
I just feel nothing but anger
Expressing disappointment or frustration in hindsight
When will I learn
Questioning when one will learn not to trust deceitful individuals
Not to trust the lies of a stranger
Referring to falsehoods spoken by an unfamiliar person
