Lyrics
Half of the time I can hardly pretend
Feeling unable to fully pretend or act as if everything is fine.
That I'm half of the man you wanted
Expressing insecurity about not meeting the partner's expectations or standards.
Holed up at night with a lump in my chest
Spending nights feeling emotionally burdened or distressed.
When I wake, it wouldn't be the first time
Waking up troubled emotionally, suggesting a recurring feeling.
I pick on you
Engaging in criticizing or finding fault with the partner.
I pick on you
Reiteration of the action of criticizing or finding fault.
Make up your mind is it it me that you want?
Seeking clarity from the partner about their true desires or intentions.
Or just more the idea of a lover
Questioning whether the partner loves the actual person or merely the concept of having a romantic partner.
Aversion to change is a weakness of mine
Admitting a personal struggle with resistance to change.
That don't mean it couldn't be the last time
Suggesting that despite reluctance to change, there's a possibility for a final decision or outcome.
You pick on me
Indicates the partner also criticizes or finds fault with the speaker.
You pick on me
Reiteration of the partner's action of criticizing or finding fault.
And I'll always do
Committing to complying with the partner's desires or demands.
What you want me to
Reaffirmation of willingness to do what the partner asks.
And I'll always be
Expressing readiness to conform to the partner's expectations or desires.
Whatever you want me to be
Committing to shaping oneself according to the partner's wishes.
So don't pick on me
An appeal to the partner to stop criticizing or finding fault.
I won't pick on you
Committing to reciprocally stop criticizing or finding fault with the partner.
