play pretend
Unveiling Love's Melody: Sarah Carvalho's Play Pretend
Lyrics
I wish all my eyelashes
Desire for vulnerability and intimacy
Would fall so you could always hold my face
Wish for closeness and connection
And I wish I could play the flute
Desire to share an experience and learn together
And pretend to not know how so you can teach me to play
Willingness to be taught and guided by the significant other
And I don't care to see you naked
Indifference to superficial aspects of the relationship
Unlike your boyfriend who likes to play pretend
Commentary on the significant other's pretense in the relationship
And he's constantly degrading
Continuous belittlement by the significant other
But you're wrapped up in his sweater
Being emotionally involved despite negative aspects
And distracted by his scent
Being captivated by the allure of the significant other
So I'll show you
Intent to demonstrate commitment and endurance
I'll show you
Reinforcement of determination and lasting presence
That I'll last longer than his perfume
Confidence in surpassing ephemeral influences
And I'll hold you
Promise of support during difficult times
When things fall through
Readiness to be there when things don't work out
And I'll let you use me like I'm used to
Acceptance of being utilized due to familiarity
Cause God I know you
Claiming to understand the significant other deeply
And I wish I could I feel your touch
Desire for physical connection and intimacy
On the moles that make a map of who I am
Yearning for acknowledgment of personal traits and identity
But you don't know how to read me
Recognition of the significant other's inability to comprehend deeply
And I know that you would always fail at geography
Expectation of failure in understanding personal complexities
And you would think that you know me
Realization of the significant other's shallow perception
But darling I don't even think that you know I'm real
Doubt regarding recognition of true self by the significant other
Cause you'll fall through his arms soon
Prediction of the significant other's eventual failure in their current relationship
And you'll use me cause that's what you always do
Awareness of being used due to past patterns
And you'll fall through my arms too
Expectation of being abandoned despite being relied upon
But I'll catch you cause I was built for you
Belief in being the reliable support for the significant other
Oh God I love you
Repetition emphasizing deep affection and love
God I love you
-God I love you
-God I love you
-God I love you
Declaration of profound love and attachment
