Lovefool - Cardigans

Love me, love me, say that you love me

Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me

Love me, love me, pretend that you love me

Leave me, leave me, just say that you need me

after reading the lyrics to this song, did you notice something?

she, the person from the song is contradicting herself. first, she forced the guy to love her. then, she said fool her and pretend to love her. lastly, she said leave me but say he needs her.

isn't it weird?

when you say something but you meant something else and you deny it. actually, you meant to say something but you fear you'll hurt the other people's feeling. you resort to lying and denying just so, you won't offend the person.

i catch myself being like that at times. saying something but meaning to say something else instead. when i do, it feels like a knife is stuck to my heart. then i realise i have to tell the truth even if the truth hurts. the next time around, i'll do the same thing again. then, i'll promise to say what i really want to say. i just don't get it. why the hell am i contradicting myself?
