Lyrics
Blue eyes, blonde hair
Describing physical features of the person: blue eyes, blonde hair.
I saw you standing there, from across the room
The speaker notices the person from a distance.
And so I hold my breath, just hoping you come near
The speaker anxiously anticipates the person coming closer.
And you hold my hope, gently out of reach
The person's influence raises the speaker's hopes but keeps them at a distance.
That's why I can't be yours
The speaker believes they can't be in a relationship with the person.
That's why I can't be yours
Reiteration of the speaker's belief that they can't be with the person.
'Cause I'm a little bit different, I'm a little bit weird
Describing the speaker's unique and unconventional qualities.
I'm a little bit left of, the box they put me in
Expressing the speaker's deviation from societal norms.
And so I hold my tongue, and let you all assume
The speaker refrains from speaking out, allowing assumptions about them.
That you know me best, but I guess that I'll show you
The speaker hints at revealing their true self despite assumptions.
That I'm not very good at love
The speaker acknowledges their struggles in romantic relationships.
I'm not very good with hearts
Expressing difficulty in handling emotions and relationships.
They always fall apart I always play too rough
Admitting to playing rough in relationships, causing them to fall apart.
I'm not very good with lies
Acknowledging a challenge in dealing with lies.
I'm not very good with truth
Not being comfortable with truth, leading to relationship issues.
They always fall apart
Relationships tend to break down due to the speaker's struggles.
And I always end up breaking your heart
The speaker often ends up hurting the person they are in a relationship with.
Blue eyes, blonde hair
Repetition of physical features, possibly emphasizing the person's impact.
One day I'll love you, and you'll love me
Hope for future love, but reluctance to open up.
But until that day comes, I'll hold on to my heart
The speaker guards their heart to avoid causing pain to the person.
'Cause if I let you love me, you'll end up getting hurt
Fear that allowing love will lead to the person's eventual hurt.
That's why I can't be yours
Repetition of the speaker's conviction that they can't be in a relationship.
That's why I can't be yours
Final reaffirmation of the speaker's decision not to be with the person.
