Living a Lie
Unveiling Hidden Truths: The Downcast's Tale of Love and Deception
Lyrics
I think I've dreamed this before
I feel a sense of déjà vu or familiarity.
It all came back when the sunlight hit the bedroom floor
Past memories resurface with the morning sunlight in the room.
You're so far away, when you're standing right in front of me
Despite physical proximity, there is emotional distance.
Oh tell me, just tell me, how long you've been gone
Seeking information about the duration of the separation.
If I drown in memory, would you still do this to me
Wondering if memories overwhelm, would the partner still hurt the same way.
Have I been living a lie, are you not willing to try
Questioning the authenticity of the relationship, uncertainty about commitment.
Is this really happening, 'cause I just want you to stay
Expressing a desire for the current situation to be real, wanting the partner to stay.
With every day that goes by, I'm just a doubt in your mind
Feeling like a constant source of doubt in the partner's thoughts.
Be that as it may, but I still need you to
Acknowledging circumstances but still needing the partner.
Stay
Emphasizing the plea for the partner to stay.
This world's a strange place
Commenting on the unpredictable and unfamiliar nature of the world.
It moves at your pace
Life moves at the partner's pace, emphasizing their influence.
The things I said just to save face
Confessing to saying things to maintain an appearance.
But I used up my bag of tricks
Having exhausted all strategies to salvage the relationship.
They all fell flat, you're over it
Attempts failed, partner has moved on.
I said it, resentment
Admitting to feelings of bitterness.
I hate that I meant it
Regretting the sincerity behind hurtful words.
If I drown in memory, would you still do this to me
Reiterating the impact of drowning in memories on the relationship.
Have I been living a lie, are you not willing to try
Questioning the truth of the shared experiences.
Is this really happening, 'cause I just want you to stay
Expressing a desire for the current situation to be real, wanting the partner to stay.
With every day that goes by, I'm just a doubt in your mind
Feeling like a constant source of doubt in the partner's thoughts.
Be that as it may, but I still need you to
Acknowledging circumstances but still needing the partner.
Stay
Emphasizing the plea for the partner to stay.
If I could take back the past few years
If given the chance, would erase the recent past to eliminate the pain.
Then I could pretend that you were never here
Fantasizing about a reality where the partner was never present.
If I drown in memory, would you still do this to me
Reiterating the impact of drowning in memories on the relationship.
Have I been living a lie, are you not willing to try
Questioning the truth of the shared experiences.
Is this really happening, 'cause I just want you to
Expressing a desire for the current situation to be real, wanting the partner to stay.
Stay
Feeling like a constant source of doubt in the partner's thoughts.
Be that as it may, but I still need you to
Acknowledging circumstances but still needing the partner.
