Lyrics
You auditioned for the role
You participated in an audition for a role
And you did it so well
You performed exceptionally well in the audition
And I truly was sold
The singer was convinced or impressed by your performance
Cause you truly compel
Your performance was truly compelling
BUT THAT's all the truth
The truth you express is limited to your performance
That you have to tell
You are not truthful in other aspects of your life
You profit off the promises
You gain from promises that you don't fulfill
That you'll never sell
You profit from promises that you refuse to sell or fulfill
Believable
You appear believable
And even heartfelt
Your emotions seem genuine
Had almost a soul
You seemed to have some goodness or sincerity
That wasn't straight from hell
Your sincerity was not genuine, possibly deceitful
Couldn't seem to control
You couldn't control words that affected the singer's health
The words that controlled my health
Your words had a significant impact on the singer's well-being
Knew what to say to make me stay
You knew what to say to make the singer stay
Does that ring a bell?
A reminder of a past situation or conversation
Somehow I believed in us
The singer believed in the relationship
Forgetting my birthday wasn't loud enough
Forgetting the singer's birthday wasn't a strong enough signal
Somehow I believed in all your lies
The singer believed in your deceptive statements
You're so convincing when there's no one else to get you by
You are persuasive when there's no one else around to question you
I believe and you just leave and
Repeated expression of belief followed by disappointment and abandonment
I believe and you just leave and
-I BELIEVE and YOU JUST LEAVE
-I believe and
Continuation of the expression of belief
You
Repetition of the act of leaving
Just
-Leave
-I was hopelessly in love
The singer was deeply in love
And you were just hopeless
You were without hope or direction
I was used to being used
The singer was accustomed to being used by you
And you were just useless
You were worthless or ineffective
Though there was no use
Despite the lack of usefulness, the singer saw potential in you
I saw so much in you
The singer saw positive qualities in you
But our potential turned intentionally doomed
The potential in the relationship was intentionally ruined
Somehow I believed in us
Repetition of belief in the relationship despite disappointments
Forgetting my birthday wasn't loud enough
Forgetting the singer's birthday was not enough to end the belief
Somehow I believed in all your lies
Continued belief despite deceptive statements
You're so convincing when there's no one else to get you by
Your persuasion is effective when there's no one else to question you
I believe and you just leave and
Repeated expression of belief followed by disappointment and abandonment
I believe and you just leave and
-I BELIEVE and YOU JUST LEAVE
-I believe and
Continuation of the expression of belief
You
Repetition of the act of leaving
Just
-Leave
