Nylon Smile Lyrics

That's the only song on Third I feel already able to understand a bit, because the lyrics can be taken rather literal: The situation is a relationship and the woman does realize, that nothing better can happen to her than her man. But still she isn't able to feel love for him nor change this fact.

I have to disagree a little. Obviously her lover is making her feel like she needs to change herself to please him, like there's something wrong with HER, and she simultaneously blames herself "hoping I might change a little/I don't know what I've done to deserve you/I don't know what I'll do without you" and resents him for making her feel so imperfect when she looks out and hopes "someone might care"
