Lyrics
She was shy her self belief still left a lot to be desired
Expressing that she lacked self-confidence despite being shy.
You compared her to her heroes she could not but feel inspired
Being compared to her heroes made her feel inspired.
She was taken in she believed
She was trusting and believed in what was presented to her.
All the things you said were real
She believed the words spoken to her were genuine and true.
Never noticed she was feeling just as you meant her to feel
She didn't realize that her emotions were being manipulated as intended.
What you say and what you mean
Highlighting the disparity between words spoken and actual intentions.
Are very different things indeed
Emphasizing the significant difference between words and intentions.
What I'd give to hear you say
Expressing a desire to hear a sincere declaration of love.
"It's love, OK"
Wishing to hear a straightforward affirmation of love.
Never say I'm the one who lied
Requesting not to be accused of dishonesty.
I cross my heart and hope to die
Committing to honesty with a symbolic gesture.
Never say I'm a clueless tease
Asking not to be seen as a deceptive flirt.
And most of all don't itchy chin me
Discouraging any dismissive or insincere behavior.
All she said was she was trying
Stating her effort to believe in something new.
To believe in something new (in something new)
Expressing a struggle to accept a new perspective or belief.
How the hell did you inform that
Questioning how the person came to the conclusion that she's leaving.
That she's leaving you
Challenging the assumption of her departure.
I forbid a single word to leave your lips
Prohibiting any words until an explanation is given.
Till I've explained (till I've explained)
Delaying communication until clarification is provided.
Well, that's it you've had your chance
Denying further chances after a perceived missed opportunity.
I won't tell you the truth again
Refusing to reveal the truth again due to past experiences.
She is no longer fooled by your sad attempts to be cool
Asserting that attempts to appear cool are no longer effective.
She could still love you though if you'd see her as an equal
Recognizing that genuine love requires seeing each other as equals.
If you'd just say what she wants you to
Expressing the desire for the person to say what she wants to hear.
If you'd just say "I love you as you"
Encouraging a declaration of love that accepts her as she is.
If you'd just say "please, don't say we're through"
Requesting not to end the relationship if the words are spoken.
If you'd just shed your pride
Suggesting that pride should be set aside for the sake of the relationship.
But you never do.
Highlighting a pattern of not expressing the necessary sentiments.
