Believer
Fool's Belief: Unrequited Love Echoed in Melodies
Lyrics
She stirs your cigarette ashes into her tea
She mixes your cigarette ashes into her tea
Tobacco with notes of raspberry
Comparing the taste of tobacco with hints of raspberry
I don't blame her for being obsessed with you
Understanding her fixation and infatuation with you
She draws your tattoos in sharpie on both of her arms
She replicates your tattoos using a marker on herself
Hums the tune of your heartbeat, her morning alarm
Recalling your heartbeat's rhythm as her morning wake-up
Studied your breaths as you slept, now she breathes them too
Studying your breathing patterns while asleep and adopting them
Does it show?
Questioning if this behavior is noticeable
You're the only thing that I know
Expressing how you are the sole certainty in her life
Every song that I sing, I wrote
Claiming that every song is inspired by you
About you
Confirming the songs are about you
To tell you the truth, I had faith in what we were
Believing in the potential of the relationship
Guess I was a fool to be a believer
Regretting naivety in having faith, feeling foolish for believing
And maybe she takes you back home to meet her family
Imagining scenarios where she introduces you to her family
Holds your face in a locket that she vows to keep
Keeping a locket with your image close to her heart
And wears t-shirts of all your favourite bands
Wearing clothing related to your favorite music
But I'd stay up after dark to watch your favourite shows
Staying awake late to watch your preferred TV shows
Spray my signature perfume all over your clothes
Applying her perfume on your clothes to leave her scent with you
So the scent of me will stick around when I can't
Desiring her presence to linger even when absent
Does it show?
Asking if her feelings for you are evident
You're the only thing that I know
Emphasizing you as the main constant in her life
Every song that I sing, I wrote
Reiterating that every song is dedicated to you
About you
Confirming the songs' subject is about you
To tell you the truth, I had faith in what we were
Believing in the potential of the relationship (repeated)
Guess I was a fool to be a believer
Expressing regret for having faith, feeling foolish for believing (repeated)
Honey, please don't get it twisted
Asking for understanding, not directing anger towards you or her
I'm not angry at you and I'm not angry at her
Clarifying absence of anger towards either of you
It's just you're everything that I've ever asked for
Acknowledging you as fulfilling her desires, though someone else got to you first
And she got to you first
Recognizing your current happiness with someone else
I'm the happiest for you
Expressing happiness for your contentment despite personal feelings
But there's a piece of me inside
Feeling a part of herself wishes for a chance to be with you
Wishing that I got the chance to see what it feels like to call you mine
Desiring to experience the feeling of being in a relationship with you
She's infatuated with all that you are
Acknowledging her rival's intense admiration for you
And that's fair enough
Accepting the fairness in the rival's feelings
But maybe it's fated that we stay apart
Speculating that fate might dictate separation despite feelings
Since you're so caught up
Realizing your absorption in the current relationship
In whatever it is that you two share
Indicating your involvement and focus in the current connection
And I'll keep pretending like I don't still care
Choosing to pretend not to care while still harboring feelings
While she's stirring every trace of you into her cup
Observing her rival absorbing every aspect of you
