Looking Good
Dreams of Deception: Unraveling The Half Guided Hearts' 'Looking Good'
Lyrics
You show up in my dreams every now and then
You appear in my dreams occasionally.
And I trick myself into believing you were ever my friend
I deceive myself into thinking you were once a true friend.
Then comes the sparkle and the rose-colored glasses
Then the excitement and optimistic view emerge.
It's like I forgot you were always bad for my heart
Despite that, I forget that you have always been harmful to my heart.
How could I forget that part?
Emphasizing the difficulty of forgetting this crucial aspect.
Because you showed up looking good
You make a captivating appearance.
Just like you always would
Consistently presenting an attractive image.
Use that silver tongue, you string me along
You use persuasive language to lead me on.
And by the time I work it out
Just as I realize the deception,
You go and kiss me on the mouth
You surprise me with a kiss,
And disappear into the crowd
Then vanish into the crowd.
I wake up in a sweat and notice I'm alone
I wake up distressed, realizing I'm alone.
It's dark and warm and I'm confused
In a dark and confusing environment.
I reach for my phone to throw it across the room
I feel the urge to express my frustration by throwing my phone.
I wanna talk to you
Expressing a desire to communicate with you.
Because you showed up looking good
You continue to make alluring appearances.
Just like you always would
Maintaining a consistent attractive facade.
Use that silver tongue, you string me along
You use persuasive language to keep me engaged.
And by the time I work it out
By the time I figure it out,
You go and kiss me on the mouth
You surprise me with a kiss again,
And disappear into the crowd
Then disappear into the crowd once more.
You keep showing up that way
Your attractive presence persists.
And I just might make the mistake of calling you
There's a risk I might mistakenly reach out to you.
When I know that's what I shouldn't do
Despite knowing it's not the right thing to do.
But then I go to sleep telling myself you want me
Before sleeping, I convince myself that you desire me.
And that's why you show up in my dreams
Explaining the reason for your recurring presence in my dreams.
Please stop
An abrupt plea to stop the cycle.
Showing up looking good
You persist in making captivating appearances.
Just like you always would
Maintaining the consistent attractive image.
Use that silver tongue, you string me along
You use persuasive language to keep me entangled.
And by the time I work it out
By the time I understand the situation,
You go and kiss me on the mouth
You surprise me with another kiss,
And disappear into the crowd
Then vanish into the crowd again.
