Make Believe

Song Description

??Make Believe? exudes an ultra-chill, lounge filled facade of total cool. It has that intangible ability to get stuck in your head. ?Why do I let you hang me on the line/why do I sit and listen to your footsteps?? Byrd?s vocals are emotionally detached in a heartbreaking way. ?Make Believe? has post-breakup lyrics that exude a seamless fusion of bittersweet truth with painful emotion. This along with melodic scenery offers a refuge from that which truly hurts the most. Musically, It?s tight and instrumentally varied enough to make this artist stand out. The vocals are delivered in a tone that seems intentionally deadpan and bored, mirroring the predictability of post breakup depression. ?Why do I feel like I?m about to die/ as if I have nothing left to live for?? his nonchalant voice paired with lounge-y casual music cuts a heart inside out. BugFights? sound is consistently well produced and definitely worthy of your ears.? From Independent Musician Magazine, July-Aug. 2003 issue

Lyrics

Verse 1
Why do I let you hang me on the line?
Why do I sit and listen for your footsteps?
Why do I lie home waiting for you?
As if I have nothing better left to do

Chorus 1
I make believe it's up to me, and what I want really matters
I fool myself but no one else
It?s just make believe

Verse 2
Why do I feel like I?m about to die?
As if I have nothing left to live for

Chorus 2
I make believe it's up to me, and what I want really matters
I fool myself but no one else
It?s just make believe
