Lyrics
For some time now
Expresses the duration of a recent period
Been alright on my own
Feeling fine or okay without company
Given the options
Given available choices or opportunities
I'd rather be alone
Prefering solitude over other options
Then you came along
An individual entered the speaker's life
And turned it upside down
Caused a significant change or disruption
And now I need to know
Desire to understand the newfound situation
Just what it is I found
Seeking clarity about the discovery
Are you who you say you are?
Questioning the authenticity of the person
Someone I'll know for long
Wondering if the person will remain in their life
Or someone who doesn't deserve a song
Questioning the worthiness of acknowledging this person
Charming accents
Attractive qualities hiding unappealing aspects
Mask ugly things
Concealing unpleasant realities
There's not a lot I know about
Limited knowledge about the person's intentions or offerings
What you stand to bring
Uncertainty regarding the person's contributions
And maybe it's all okay
Consideration that everything might be acceptable
And maybe I'm being unfair
Admitting the possibility of unfairness in judgment
But I learned the hard way
Learning from past experiences to be cautious
To be prepared
Preparedness due to previous hardships
Are you who I think you are?
Questioning the accuracy of personal perception of the person
Someone I'll know for long
Similar to line 12, questioning the longevity of the relationship
Or someone who doesn't deserve a song
Doubting the worthiness of acknowledging this person, similar to line 13
