playing pretend
Unveiling Love's Illusion: Maya Manuela's 'Playing Pretend' Revels in the Art of Deception
Lyrics
Sitting with your hand on my thigh
Sitting close together with your hand resting on my thigh
You got that look in your eye
You have a certain expression or desire in your eyes
Like you don't want to be friends
You seem to want something more than just friendship
You never heard what I said
You haven't paid attention or understood what I've communicated
I feel the rush setting in
I'm starting to feel excitement or adrenaline building up
You think I'm so innocent
You perceive me as innocent, though I might not be
I'm in distress you're the prince
I'm in a difficult situation, and you're acting like the savior
I grew up playing pretend
I have grown up pretending or imagining things
You can own me for a night or two
You can have control over me for a brief period, but I'm not yours
But I don't belong to you baby
I don't belong to you, despite any temporary closeness
You think all your dreams are coming true
You believe everything you desire is becoming a reality
But I don't belong to you babe
But I'm not yours, despite your beliefs
Laying with your hands round my neck
Lying together with your hands around my neck, indicating possessiveness
You're getting way too attached
You're becoming overly attached or emotionally invested
You paint my face on your wall
You metaphorically immortalize or fixate on me
I leave my coat in the hall
I leave without making a substantial commitment
You clear a drawer for my things
You allocate space for my belongings
I look up flights overseas
I'm considering leaving the current situation by flying overseas
You brag to all of your friends
You boast to everyone about your association with me
I'm good at playing pretend
I'm skilled at pretending or playing along with the situation
You can own me for a month or two
You might have control over me for a limited period, but I'm not yours
But I don't belong to you baby
My belongingness is not to you, despite any temporary involvement
You think all your dreams are coming true
You believe your desires are materializing, but I'm not yours
But I don't belong to you
I don't belong to you despite your perceptions
I don't belong to you
I'm not someone you possess or own
