Lyrics

I knew you'd be the one to break me

I anticipated that you would be the one to emotionally hurt me

Before I even knew your name

Even before I knew your identity

Who'd twist the truth and bend the rules

You manipulate the truth and break the rules of this unspoken relationship

Of this unspoken game

Referring to the mysterious dynamics between them

And baby if I'm honest

Being truthful, I am reluctant to participate

I don't really wanna play

Expressing a desire to avoid involvement

But when it comes to you

Despite my reluctance, I find it hard to escape when it involves you

I just can't run away

Conveying difficulty in distancing from the person

If you asked me to

Assuring that if requested, the speaker would consistently choose the person

I'd always choose you

Reaffirming a strong and repeated commitment

A million times again

Emphasizing the unwavering choice

When it comes to you

Reiterating the theme of playing the fool for this person

I'm playing the fool

Explicitly stating the speaker's role in the relationship

I can't just be your friend

Rejecting the possibility of being just friends

You're bad for me

Acknowledging that the person is detrimental to the speaker

It's clear to see

Highlighting the evident harm caused by the person

I just can't catch my breath

Expressing difficulty in coping with the situation

The last time this happened

Recalling a similar painful experience

I swore I'd never play the fool again

Committing not to repeat the mistake of playing the fool

You swore that you were different

Noting a past assurance of the person's distinctiveness

Crossed your heart and hoped to die

Referring to a solemn promise made by the person

And when you said I was the only one

Expressing doubt about the person's sincerity

I guess you must have lied

Believing that the person lied about the speaker being the only one

Don't tell me you love me

Rejecting the person's declaration of love due to its falseness

We both know it isn't true

Acknowledging mutual awareness of the insincerity

Running circles through my mind

Mentally preoccupied with conflicting thoughts

While I run away from you

Physically distancing oneself from the person

If you asked me to

Reaffirming the enduring choice despite challenges

I'd always choose you

Consistently choosing the person in various scenarios

A million times again

Reiterating the unwavering commitment

When it comes to you

Stating the role of playing the fool in the relationship

I'm playing the fool

Emphasizing the inevitable foolishness in the connection

I can't just be your friend

Ruling out the possibility of a platonic relationship

You're bad for me

Affirming the detrimental nature of the connection

It's clear to see

Reiterating the evident harm caused by the person

I just can't catch my breath

Expressing the difficulty of dealing with the situation

The last time this happened

Recalling a past resolution not to repeat the mistake

I swore I'd never play the fool again

Committing not to play the fool again

If you ask me to

Asserting the unwavering choice if asked

I'll always choose you

Reaffirming the repeated commitment

A million times again

Emphasizing the persistence of the choice

The last time this happened

Recalling a past resolution not to play the fool

I swore I'd never play the fool again

Reiterating the commitment to avoid being foolish in the future
