Golden Girl
Unveiling Emotional Armor: Phoebe Green's 'Golden Girl' Explained
Lyrics
I tried to engage, but I can’t fake it like I used to, babe
Expressing difficulty in pretending as before, unable to fake emotions.
It’s not you, it’s me, I just don’t have the energy
Explaining that the issue is within oneself, lacking the energy to reassure the partner.
To reassure you that I still adore you, when we both know it isn’t the same
Acknowledging that expressions of love aren't genuine anymore, a mutual realization.
I don’t mind from time to time being left alone
Comfort with occasional solitude, not bothered by being alone sometimes.
And I wish you, wouldn’t get so blue
Desire for the partner not to feel sad or down.
I’m never gonna be a golden girl
Rejecting the idea of being an ideal "golden girl" with a perfect life.
And that’s not on you, it’s just not in view
Clarifying that it's not the partner's fault, it's just not part of the vision.
And you wish I wasn’t so cold
Acknowledging a wish for warmer emotions but struggling with emotional warmth.
Call it cruel, I call it controlled
Labeling emotional distance as control rather than cruelty.
It’s not you, it’s me, I just hate vulnerability
Expressing discomfort with vulnerability as the reason for emotional distance.
I can’t cry for you, I know you want me to, but I’d rather die than unfold
Choosing emotional restraint over displaying vulnerability, even at the cost of appearing cold.
I don’t mind from time to time being left alone
Reiteration of acceptance of occasional solitude without feeling bothered.
And I wish you, wouldn’t get so blue
Repeating the desire for the partner not to feel sad or down.
I’m never gonna be a golden girl
Reaffirming the rejection of the idealized image of a "golden girl."
And that’s not on you, it’s just not in view
Reiterating that it's not the partner's fault, being a "golden girl" is not part of the plan.
Never gonna be a, never gonna be a, never gonna be a golden girl
Emphasizing the decision to never conform to the societal idea of a "golden girl."
I don’t have the patience, I don’t have the time, I don’t know what to say to give you some peace of
Lack of patience and time, struggling to provide reassurance or comfort.
mind
Continuation of the struggle with vulnerability, impacting the ability to bring peace of mind.
It’s not you, it’s me, I just hate vulnerability
Reiteration of discomfort with vulnerability as the reason for emotional distance.
I don’t mind from time to time being left alone
Restating acceptance of occasional solitude without feeling bothered.
And I wish you, wouldn’t get so blue
Repeating the desire for the partner not to feel sad or down.
I’m never gonna be a golden girl
Reaffirming the rejection of the idealized image of a "golden girl."
And that’s not on you, it’s just not in view
Reiterating that it's not the partner's fault, being a "golden girl" is not part of the plan.
