Lyrics
I showed a feeling
I expressed an emotion
Diggin' my own grave
Taking actions that lead to my own downfall
Already there before it blows up in my face
Already in a problematic situation before it becomes evident
And you turned away, anxiety
You turned away due to anxiety
Anxiety has made you turn your back on me
Anxiety caused you to reject or distance yourself from me
I felt a weakness, no masquerade
I experienced a vulnerability without hiding behind a disguise
Decided on my own to show you my true face
Chose independently to reveal my true self to you
Now it's too late
Now it's too late for something
I broke the magic
I disrupted the enchantment or special connection
You taught me honesty is worse than being fake
You taught me that being honest is more challenging than pretending
Oh, how I wish I wouldn't let my lovers flake
Expressing regret for allowing past lovers to abandon or disappoint
Oh, how I wish I wouldn't let my lovers flake
Reiterating the regret for past lovers' unreliability
All this temptation, they're all the same
Alluring temptations, referring to people, are all the same
Every boy in this city tries to game
Every man in this city attempts to deceive or manipulate
But I won't play, I won't play
Refusing to engage or participate in their deceitful games
Not showing ways for them to be my new mistake
Not providing opportunities for them to become my new regret
'Cause I showed a feeling by mistake
Unintentionally revealed a vulnerable emotion
Already there before it blows up in my face
Already facing consequences before they become apparent
And you turned away, anxiety
You turned away due to anxiety (repeated)
Anxiety has made you turn your back on me
Anxiety led to your rejection or avoidance (repeated)
Oh, how I wish I wouldn't let my lovers flake
Expressing regret for allowing past lovers to abandon or disappoint (repeated)
Oh, how I wish I wouldn't let my lovers flake
Reiterating the regret for past lovers' unreliability (repeated)
'Cause I showed a feeling by mistake
Unintentionally revealed a vulnerable emotion (repeated)
Oh, how I wish I wouldn't let my lovers flake
Expressing regret for allowing past lovers to abandon or disappoint (repeated)
(Oh, how I wish I wouldn't let my lovers flake)
Concluding expression of regret for past lovers' unreliability (repeated)
