Lyrics
Do you think I'm faking
Expressing doubt about the authenticity of the speaker's emotions
When I'm lying next to you?
Suggesting physical proximity to someone
Do you think that I am blind
Questioning if the speaker is aware of certain things
Nothing left for me to lose?
Implying a lack of significant things for the speaker to lose
Must be something on your mind
Speculating on concerns occupying the other person's thoughts
Something lost and left behind
Hinting at something important that has been abandoned or forgotten
Do you know I'm faking now?
Admitting to feigning emotions at the moment
Do you know I'm faking
Reiterating the doubt about the sincerity of the speaker's actions
When I'm lying next to you?
Reemphasizing the proximity to the other person
Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do?
Indicating unawareness of the other person's actions
Must be something on your mind
Speculating on the mental preoccupation of the other person
Something lost for me to find
Suggesting that something important is lost and needs to be found
Do you know I'm faking
Confirming the pretense of emotions
Then she told me she had a gun
Introducing a new character and a dangerous element (gun)
It sounded like she'd used It once before on him
Implies the other person has used the gun before
Then she told me she had a gun
Reiterating the presence of a gun
It sounded like she'd used It once before, oh man
Suggesting past use of the gun by the other person
I guess you know I'm faking
Admitting to insincerity in expressing love
When I tell you I love you
Questioning the other person's awareness of the speaker's dishonesty
I guess you know that I am blind
Asserting blindness to the other person's actions and words
To everything you say and do
Speculating on the mental preoccupation of the speaker
Must be something on my mind
Implying an internal struggle or burden on the speaker's mind
There's nothing left for me to hide
Stating a lack of things to hide
Do you know I'm faking
Repeating the admission of feigned emotions
Then she told me she had a gun
Recalling the other person's possession of a gun
It sounded like she'd used It once before on him
Reiterating the past use of the gun on someone else
Then she told me she had a gun
Reiterating the other person's possession of a gun
It sounded like she'd used It once before, oh man
Repeating the suggestion of past use of the gun
We have to succumb to the feelings we can never face
Conveying the inevitability of facing suppressed emotions
I need you, I breathe you,
Expressing dependence on the other person
I can't go through this all again
Expressing reluctance to endure a similar experience again
We have to succumb to
Reiterating the inevitability of facing suppressed emotions
The feelings we can never face I need you
Reiterating dependence on the other person
I breathe you, I can't go through this
Reiterating reluctance to endure a similar experience
Then she told me she had a gun
Recalling the other person's possession of a gun
It sounded like she'd used It once before
Reiterating the suggestion of past use of the gun
Then she told me she had a gun
Reiterating the other person's possession of a gun
It sounded like she'd used It once before on him
Repeating the implication of past use of the gun on someone else
Then she told me she had a gun
Reiterating the other person's possession of a gun
It sounded like she'd used It once before, oh man
Repeating the suggestion of past use of the gun
Then she told me she had a gun
Reiterating the other person's possession of a gun
She says she wants to use it on me now
Stating the other person's desire to use the gun on the speaker
