God You Look So Pretty When You Tell Me That You Love Lyrics
No smoke without fire
No silence if there’s no sound
One way or another
You’re going to put me out
Drinks flowing like water
Too drunk to turn off the light
Stay under the covers
Who knows how we’ll end the night
Just don’t hang your hopes on me
I want to feel something
God you look so pretty when you tell me that you love me
I wish that I could lie
But my mind gets in the way
I know you think that I’m
Always way too self aware
Oh we could never
Be together
But it’s nice to play pretend
I wish that I could lie
But I’m way too self aware
Mood swings like the weather
Body’s under pressure
Oh I love the way you’re using your imagination
Laws of attraction
Put ’em into practice
Just don’t hang your hopes on me
I want to feel something
God you look so pretty when you tell me that you love me
I wish that I could lie
But my mind gets in the way
I know you think that I’m
Always way too self aware
Oh we could never
Be together
But it’s nice to play pretend
I wish that I could lie
But I’m way too self aware
Just don’t hang your hopes on me
I want to feel something
God you look so pretty when you tell me that you love me
I wish that I could lie
But my mind gets in the way
I know you think that I’m
Always way too self aware
Oh we could never
Be together
But it’s nice to play pretend
I wish that I could lie
But I’m way too self aware
Story Of This Song
The song portrays a relationship between two people who are spending time together, but from the very beginning, the narrator makes it clear that he is not ready to take the relationship into the future. He tells the other person not to expect too much because he is uncertain about his own thoughts and feelings.
Throughout the lyrics, the narrator repeatedly admits that he does not want to lie or give someone false hope. For that reason, he explains that they cannot truly stay together, even if everything seems fine for a while.
The song also shows that the narrator is aware of his own mental state and constantly changing emotions. He recognizes that his tendency to overthink is affecting both his decisions and the relationship. While the other person wants to continue building the relationship, the narrator believes it is better to be honest than to offer reassurance he cannot genuinely mean.
Overall, the song tells the story of a relationship that feels right in the moment, but one that the narrator does not believe has a lasting future from his perspective.
