Lyrics
You say you want me to notice the motives
You express a desire for me to recognize the reasons or intentions.
That are forming inside your head
Refers to thoughts taking shape within your mind.
I try to go through the motions
I make an effort to perform actions or gestures.
To show you deep down inside I'm not dead
To demonstrate that internally, I am still alive or emotionally responsive.
Look at your face and I forget your name
Seeing your face makes me forget the name associated with you.
I feel her ghost in every breath you take
I sense a lingering presence or influence of someone else (her ghost) in your every breath.
Will I ever love you that way
Questioning the possibility of loving you in a particular way.
When you say...?
Seeking clarification when you mention...?
If I want it, I should take it
If I desire something, I should seize the opportunity.
If you move me, I could shake it
Expressing the potential for a significant emotional impact if moved.
And I'm trying hard to fake it
Struggling to pretend or conceal true feelings.
But I can't let her go
Despite efforts, unable to move on from her (her ghost).
Taking love from you to waste it
Taking love from you and squandering it without appreciation.
Take your heart in just to break it
Taking your heart only to break it intentionally.
And I'm trying hard to fake it
Continuing the struggle to feign emotions.
But I can't let her go, go, go
Despite efforts, unable to let her go.
Try to feel pain when you hurt
Attempting to empathize with pain as I once did when she hurt me.
Just like I used to feel when she hurt back then
Recalling past emotions related to her actions.
I know it's not fair you deserve
Acknowledging that fairness demands care for you, but only able to pretend.
To be cared for and all I can do is pretend
Expressing limitations in providing the care you deserve.
I hear her voice in every word you say
Hearing echoes of her in the words you speak.
I feel her ghost in every breath you take
Feeling the lingering presence of her in each breath you take.
Will I ever love you that way
Revisiting the question of whether I can love you in a specific way.
When you say...?
Seeking understanding when you say...?
If I want it, I should take it
If I desire something, I should seize the opportunity.
If you move me, I could shake it
Expressing the potential for a significant emotional impact if moved.
And I'm trying hard to fake it
Struggling to pretend or conceal true feelings.
But I can't let her go
Despite efforts, unable to move on from her (her ghost).
Taking love from you to waste it
Taking love from you and squandering it without appreciation.
Take your heart in just to break it
Taking your heart only to break it intentionally.
And I'm trying hard to fake it
Continuing the struggle to feign emotions.
But I can't let her go, go, go
Despite efforts, unable to let her go.
Look at your face and I forget your name
Seeing your face makes me forget the name associated with you.
I know it's not fair and with every breath
Recognizing the unfairness and feeling a burning shame with every breath.
I feel a burning shame
Experiencing a deep sense of shame when unable to let her go.
When I can't let her go, go, go
Despite efforts, unable to let her go.
