I Shouldn't but I Do
Heart's Dilemma: Confessions I Shouldn't Make, But I Do
Lyrics
I shouldn't tell my friends that you're mine
Feeling conflicted about revealing the relationship to friends.
But I do
Still ends up telling friends despite the conflict.
Though it's not true
Acknowledging that the statement about the relationship isn't entirely truthful.
I shouldn't follow you around town
Understanding that following the person around town is inappropriate.
But I do
Despite knowing it's wrong, still follows the person.
Looking for you
Actively seeking the person despite the inappropriate behavior.
I shouldn't lay awake night after night
Realizing it's unhealthy to stay awake with emotional distress.
With tears in my eyes almost lose my sight
Experiencing extreme emotional pain due to the situation.
But I do
Continuing the unhealthy pattern despite knowing it's wrong.
And it's all because of you
Attributing actions to the influence of the person causing this turmoil.
I know a man shouldn't cry
Expressing societal expectations about men not crying.
But I do
Defying societal norms and crying because of the person.
Because of you
Emphasizing that the person is the cause of the emotional distress.
I shouldn't tell you I need you so
Recognizing the feeling of neediness but acknowledging it despite knowing it's not advisable.
But I do
Admitting the need for the person despite the internal conflict.
And only you
Highlighting that the need is only for this specific person.
I shouldn't let you ruin my pride
Understanding that allowing the person to hurt pride is wrong.
And treat me like my hands are tied
Feeling restricted or controlled by the person's actions.
But I do
Continuing to let the person affect pride despite knowing it's wrong.
And it's all because of you
Attributing actions to the influence of the person causing distress.
I shouldn't tell my friends that you're mine
Reiterating the conflict about revealing the relationship to friends.
But I do
Despite the conflict, still chooses to disclose the relationship status to friends.
Though it's not true
Acknowledging again that the statement about the relationship isn't entirely truthful.
I shouldn't follow you around town
Recognizing that following the person around town is inappropriate.
But I do
Continuing the action of following the person despite knowing it's wrong.
Looking for you
Continuing to actively seek the person despite the inappropriateness of the behavior.
I shouldn't lay awake night after night
Reiterating the unhealthy pattern of staying awake with emotional distress.
With tears in my eyes almost lose my sight
Expressing the extreme emotional pain and its physical impact.
But I do
Continuing the unhealthy pattern despite knowing it's wrong.
And it's all because of you
Attributing actions to the influence of the person causing this turmoil.
