Lyrics
Don't do if you can't admit
Caution against actions if one is unwilling to acknowledge them
It's working for me, is it working for you
Expressing personal success and questioning its impact on the other person
Don't bother to have regrets
Discouraging the indulgence in regrets; suggesting a forward-looking perspective
You place your bet, you get what you get
Highlighting the unpredictable outcomes of decisions
Don't expect me to call your home
Refusing an expectation to reach out; implying independence
Don't pick up the phone because I'm not alone
Asserting solitude and discouraging communication; maintaining personal space
So wipe the tear from your lying face
Advising to hide emotions and questioning the value of a past action
Was it worth it, was it worth the heartache
Raising a reflective question about the worthiness of past experiences
Girl, you're wantin' so much more
Commenting on someone's excessive desires
You'll get none from me
Rejecting the idea of fulfilling those desires
You're not what I'm looking for
Stating a mismatch in expectations
Now I finally see
Realizing a truth about the person and the situation
Don't get caught up in every turn
Advising against getting entangled in every situation
We live and we learn and sometimes we get burned
Emphasizing the learning aspect of life, acknowledging potential hardships
Don't forget why we go through this
Warning against losing sight of the reasons for facing challenges
We won't ever know bliss if we never miss
Expressing the necessity of experiencing setbacks to appreciate joy
