Faces
SO Lush Lyrics

You're looking in my eyes
You are studying me intently, trying to understand who I am.

You're trying me on for size
You are testing me to see if I fit your expectations or desires.

Might see yourself in me
Perhaps you recognize certain qualities in me that remind you of yourself.

But I'm not looking back at you
However, I am not reciprocating your gaze or showing interest in you.

Guess you're back to square one
It seems like you are starting over again, facing disappointment or rejection.

You smell me on your sheets
My presence lingers in your bedroom, reminding you of our time together.

Think I might stay the week
You believe that I may have left a strong impression and could potentially spend more time with you.

Got my scent on your fingers
You still carry the fragrance of my body, a reminder of our physical connection.

But I'm breathing new perfume
However, I have moved on and embraced a new fragrance, symbolizing a fresh start.

Guess I don't really care, huh
It appears that I am indifferent or unconcerned about the impact I have on you.

You can try your expectations on me
Feel free to project your desires and hopes onto me.

I think I won't wear them well
However, I doubt that I will fulfill or meet your expectations successfully.

Maybe you'll restart the cycle
Perhaps you will repeat the pattern of seeking validation and connection with someone new.

Walking through a smalltalk hell
Engaging in superficial conversations that lack true depth or meaning.

You're telling all your friends
You are proclaiming to your social circle that I might be the one for you.

Think I might be the one
Believing that I could be the person who fulfills your romantic desires.

And your name's on my lips
However, I am not interested in vocalizing your name or mentioning you to others.

'Cause I don't want you on my tongue
Since I do not desire to have you in my thoughts or express affection for you.

Guess life just isn't fair, huh
It seems that life can be unjust or disappointing at times, leading to unreciprocated feelings.

Don't try your expectations on me
Please refrain from imposing your hopes and desires onto me.

I know I won't wear them well
I am aware that I will not fulfill or meet your expectations satisfactorily.

And then you'll restart the cycle
Consequently, you may begin the process again, seeking validation and connection elsewhere.

Walking back to smalltalk hell
Returning to the realm of superficial conversations lacking emotional depth or genuine connection.

We're all just looking through these faces
In the end, we are all attempting to understand and navigate the complexities of different individuals.

Talking stages, different places
Engaging in conversations and interactions at various stages and in different settings.

Strike a match until it burns out
Ignite a flame, pursuing a connection until it inevitably fades or ends.

Blowing smoke in unknown spaces
Creating illusions or false impressions in unfamiliar territories or relationships.
