I thought this song was abusive at first (believe me, a guy did this to me), but then... I realized that the song is really sad. It is someone that does not want to lose his loved one, and is thinking (in delusion) that this is the way. It is not OK, of course. But this way of thinking is really common. It hurts not to be loved. So he wonders "If I die, will the other person be as hurt as I am right now? will they regret not loving me?". So actually this whole song is the imagination of someone who has a one-sided love. It is delusional and sad at the same time.
Just listened to it. Your interpretation is spot on. Ironically I was actually in an abusive relationship and thought the same things as Matt sang about. I remember thinking and talking to a friend about how “I wonder if she thought I got in a car accident, would she care then?” If you’re thinking like this, you def have problems you need to work through in your relationship and may even need to leave it. But yes, this is a very common way to think it feels and while I can see the issues people have with the song, I think it’s ultimately good albeit delusional on the singers part.
@Daniela Rim It could also be very destructive. What if the other person figures out that they do love the person who they think is dead and commits suicide? If it works, it could be great, but it could also fail miserably. Just remember that actions have consequences.
When I had a break up I wanted the bus I was on to crash. Idk if it's a universal thing or I need therapy. It's wanting the pain to leave and the person that caused it to feel it.
Lyrics: So, I've made up my mind I will pretend to leave this world behind And in the end, you'll know I've lied To get your attention I'm faking my own suicide I'm faking my own suicide Because I know you love me You just haven't realized I'm faking my own suicide They'll hold a double funeral Because a part of you will die Along with me I wish you thought that I was dead So rather than me you'd be depressed instead And before arriving at my grave You'd come to the conclusion You'd loved me all your days But it's too late Too late for you to say Because I'm faking my own suicide Because I know you love me You just haven't realized Oh, I'm faking my own suicide They'll hold a double funeral Because a part of you will die Along with me I'll write you a letter that you'll keep Reminding you your love for me is more than six feet deep You say aloud that you would have been my wife Right about that time is when I come back to life And let you know I'd let you know all along I was... All along I was faking my own suicide Because I know you love me You just haven't realized I was faking my own suicide I'll walk in that room and see your eyes opened so wide Opened so wide Because you know Because you know you will never leave my side Until the day that I die for the first time And we'll laugh, yeah we'll laugh And we will cry So overjoyed at the love that's so alive Our love is so alive
This song is so sad. He thinks the only way to get her attention is to "kill" apart of her aka her forgotten love for him. He hopes when he walks through the door her newly found love will spark
@Sos_sphere I completely agree with you. Why would you take that risk? Why would you put the love of your life through that? What if this person commits suicide after learning about that lie?

Lyrics:
So, I've made up my mind
I will pretend to leave this world behind
And in the end, you'll know I've lied
To get your attention
I'm faking my own suicide
I'm faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
I'm faking my own suicide
They'll hold a double funeral
Because a part of you will die
Along with me
I wish you thought that I was dead
So rather than me you'd be depressed instead
And before arriving at my grave
You'd come to the conclusion
You'd loved me all your days
But it's too late
Too late for you to say
Because I'm faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
Oh, I'm faking my own suicide
They'll hold a double funeral
Because a part of you will die
Along with me
I'll write you a letter that you'll keep
Reminding you your love for me is more than six feet deep
You say aloud that you would have been my wife
Right about that time is when I come back to life
And let you know
I'd let you know all along I was...
All along I was faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
I was faking my own suicide
I'll walk in that room and see your eyes opened so wide
Opened so wide
Because you know
Because you know you will never leave my side
Until the day that I die for the first time
And we'll laugh, yeah we'll laugh
And we will cry
So overjoyed at the love that's so alive
Our love is so alive
It's like a play on romeo and julliet I really enjoyed it great work josh

"Until the day that I die, for the first time" XD
How am I first comment?
No idea
It got deleted and then it came back a while back. There used to be a lot of comments.
♥️
This seems to be the only way to get people’s attention these days…
It’s not healthy if they don’t love or care about you move on
@@Pirategod23 Moving on is not an easy feat. Especially when such awful things have been done to you..
i love this song but this is straight up emotional abuse and is not okay.
read the top comment to the vid, I think they summed it up perfectly.
What is emotional abuse?
@Sos_sphere
I completely agree with you. Why would you take that risk? Why would you put the love of your life through that? What if this person commits suicide after learning about that lie?
@@giantsr1eva Then they shouldn’t have hurt the person in the first place…
