Lyrics
I hate myself for doing this
Expressing self-hatred for a certain action or behavior.
I don't know how I sleep
Uncertain about the ability to sleep, possibly due to guilt or inner turmoil.
My big mouth making all these promises
Acknowledging a tendency to make promises impulsively.
My heart can't keep
Admitting that the heart fails to keep the promises made.
Whoa-oh-oh, uh-oh, no no
Repeating the cycle of acting like they care and making promises, while expressing a desire to believe in their own sincerity.
There I go
-Acting like I care again
-Promising I'm there again
-Yeah but I wish I could believe me
-Whoa-oh-oh, uh-oh, no no
-There I go
-Acting like I care again
-Promising I'm there again
-Yeah but I wish I could believe me
-Like you do
Comparing oneself to someone else who seemingly believes in their own actions.
Look at you
Observing the other person's confidence or self-assured demeanor.
I deserve an Emmy
Jokingly suggesting deserving an award (Emmy) for their acting or deception.
I'm so skilled
Boasting about skillfulness in deceit or manipulation.
Oh, but it's for your own good
Justifying deceptive behavior as being for the other person's benefit.
I doubt that you could handle it
Doubting the other person's ability to handle the truth if the speaker were genuine.
If I was real
Raising the possibility that the speaker is not authentic or real in their interactions.
Whoa-oh-oh, uh-oh, no no
Reiterating the struggle of pretending to care and making promises, accompanied by a longing to believe in oneself.
There I go
-Acting like I care again
-Promising I'm there again
-Yeah but I wish I could believe me
-Whoa-oh-oh, uh-oh, no no
-There I go
-Acting like I care again
-Promising I'm there again
-Yeah but I wish I could believe me
-Maybe I'm wrong
Admitting the possibility of being wrong and characterized as a coward.
And I'm just a coward
Accepting the potential criticism or legal consequences for their behavior.
So sue me
Defending the purity of intentions despite deceptive actions.
But my intentions are good
Expressing that leading someone on may not be the best but the easiest option.
Leading you on
Admitting to the act of leading someone on romantically or emotionally.
May not be the best solution
Suggesting that leading someone on might not solve the underlying issues.
But its the easiest one
Admitting to choosing the easiest solution, even if it's not the best one.
Whoa-oh-oh, uh-oh, no no
Continuing the cycle of pretending and promising, accompanied by a desire to believe in oneself.
There I go
-Acting like I care again
-Promising I'm there again
-Yeah but I wish I could believe me
-Whoa-oh-oh, uh-oh, no no
-There I go
-Acting like I care again
-Promising I'm there again
-Yeah but I wish I could believe me
