Make Believe
Navigating Love's Illusions: Renny Conti's 'Make Believe' Insights
Lyrics
I was writing up the convo
I was composing the conversation
Hoping you’d pick up the call
Hoping you would answer the phone
Like someday I’d be a traveler
Aspiring to be an adventurer
Now I’m just nothing at all
Now I feel like I am nothing
So I was talking with myself dear (to you)
Talking to myself, addressing you
Trying to help you break the fall
Trying to assist you in avoiding a failure
I’m the parachute that failed
I am the failed parachute
And the ground that took it all
And the ground that caused the failure
It was always in my vision
It was always my expectation
That you’d do the same for me
That you would reciprocate for me
But when tragedy is hidden
But when a tragedy is concealed
It’s the same as when it’s seen
It's the same as when it's visible
I thought I would be the angel
I thought I would be the savior
You were hoping that was me
You were expecting that from me
But everything was way too painful
But everything was too painful
I was trying to make believe
I was trying to pretend
Don’t wait for me
Don't wait for me
Why, if I know it, why don’t I show it?
Questioning why, when I know, I don't express it
I’ll let you breathe
I'll give you space
I can see you glowing
I can see you thriving
You don’t know I know it
You are unaware that I am aware
Don’t stay with me
Don't remain with me
Nobody gonna know me
Nobody will truly understand me
I don’t even know me
I don't even understand myself
You’re make believe
You are a product of imagination
I don’t want nothing
I desire nothing
I don’t want to be the face of love
I don't want to represent love
Why, if I know it, why don’t I show it?
Questioning why, when I know, I don't express it
