Make Believe Instrumental Version

Make Believe is a tender, bittersweet song from Clockwork Heart, capturing the quiet loneliness of Florence as she imagines a life that does not yet exist. Set in a gentle C major, the track drifts between comfort and denial, wrapping delicate fantasies around a deeper ache.

Through tea shared with an unawakened creation, painted smiles, and clockwork dreams, Florence plays at domestic happiness, pretending that love can be built, gifted, and safely controlled. The music swells with warmth and innocence, but beneath it lies the knowledge that this world is fragile, temporary, and ultimately untrue.

At its heart, Make Believe is about longing. It is about the human desire to create something that will never leave, never cry, and never break our hearts. As the dance ends and Rose is placed back on her chair, the illusion fades, leaving only the quiet truth of what has not yet come to life.

A soft, haunting moment of hope, denial, and foreshadowing, Make Believe sets the emotional foundation for everything that follows.
