Lyrics
I used to think that maybe it was better not to bother
The speaker used to believe it might be better to avoid certain concerns.
To worry 'bout the things that made me scared about the future
Concerns about the future used to make the speaker anxious.
But looking back I didn't want to stumble on a question
Reflecting on the past, the speaker didn't want to encounter unsettling questions.
That might upset the structure of the world in which we lived in
Fearing disruptions, the speaker avoided questioning the existing world order.
I might delay the outcome when I thought something should happen
The speaker worried that expressing thoughts might delay expected outcomes.
I might disrupt my own life if it kept a thing in motion
Fearful of disrupting their life, the speaker refrained from intervening in certain situations.
I never had the chance to tell you what I really felt
Regret about not expressing genuine feelings to someone.
But I figured we'd be okay when the dust had settled
Despite uncertainties, the speaker believed things would be okay in the end.

Used to be afraid of what I felt

And what was coming up ahead
