"I don't believe you" Pink

I don’t mind it
I don’t mind at all
It’s like you’re the swing set
~ And I’m the kid that falls ~

It’s like the way we fight
The times I’ve cried
We come to blows
And every night
~ The passion’s there ~
So it’s got to be right
Right?

No I don’t believe you
When you say don’t come around here no more
I won’t remind you
You said we wouldn’t be apart

No I don’t believe you
When you say you don’t need me anymore
~ So don’t pretend to
Not love me at all ~

I don’t mind it
I still don’t mind at all
It’s like one of those bad dreams
When you can’t wake up
It looks like you’ve given up
You’ve had enough
~ But I want more ~
No I won't stop
Because I just know
You’ll come around
Right?

No I don’t believe you
When you say don’t come around here no more
I won’t remind you
~ You said we wouldn’t be apart ~

No I don’t believe you
When you say you don’t need me anymore
So don’t pretend to
Not love me at all

~ Just don’t stand there and watch me fall ~
Because I, because I still don’t mind at all

It’s like the way we fight
The times I’ve cried
We come to blows
And every night
The passions there
~ So it’s got to be right,
Right? ~

No I don’t believe you
When you say don’t come around here no more
I won’t remind you
You said we wouldn’t be apart

No I don’t believe you
When you say you don’t need me anymore
So don’t pretend to
Not love me at all

I don’t believe you

When I first heard Pink's "Please don't leave me", I was irked at how weak she sounded. I was thinking, Pink's meant to be tough and strong - why is she begging him to stay with her? Then I saw the MV and realised there was another interpretation to the song.

So, when I first heard this song, I checked to see if there was another take to it. Apparently not.

Still, I couldn't help but fall for it. Pink's deep voice brings out the feeling of pain really well. What really did it for me, though, was the short "Right?" she utters before the chorus. The tinge of uncertainty in the midst of conviction and resolve provided a contrast which really stood out.

I suppose it's nice to occasionally see a different side.
