I don'tthink it's that the man doesn't love her anymore..
I always got a strong sense of love from him for her. But he realizes that this one moment they're sharing staring at the edge of the deep green sea, is nothing more then a moment that will lead to nothing but heartbreak. She seems to be in a bit more in denial about the situation, as she forces or hopes to belive in him....
he plays along...
"i lie to keep her happy"
"like she wants to believe in me.. so i try"
it's the realization of having to let go of the only thing that makes you feel "colourfully-see-through-head", and although he begs 'please stay, not just for today'...they both know what they're seeking is 'forever gone'
this is my favourite cure song off the wish album. i've sang along to this song a hundred times and never once came to this conclusion, or perhaps i did and was in denial. i completely agree with everything you've said here. that last line, "and although he begs 'please stay, not just for today'...they both know what they're seeking is 'forever gone' " ah, that just kills me... i think i love this song even more now. thank you!
