Lyrics
I'm sorry if I was mistaken
I apologize if I misunderstood something
I shouldn't have read into your flirty invitations
I shouldn't have interpreted your playful invitations as something more
And all those comments you were makin'
Referring to suggestive remarks made by the person
While you pulled me close, how could I not know
Despite your physical closeness, I failed to realize the truth
I'm sorry that I had some feelin'
I regret having emotional attachments
In all those late nights and those kisses you were stealin'
Recalling moments of intimacy and stolen kisses
Thought I saw somethin' in your eyes
Perceived depth in your eyes, but it was just emptiness
But it was just an empty light
Realization that the emotional connection was shallow
You, you broke my heart, at least I have one to break
You caused heartbreak, but at least I had a heart to break
I know that you can't say the same
Acknowledging the other person's lack of emotional investment
I bought right in to all that you did
Admitting to being deceived by the actions of the person
And that was my mistake
Recognizing that trusting was a mistake
You made me the fool, but at least I'm not the fake
Acknowledging being made a fool but asserting authenticity
I'm sorry to even mention
Expressing regret for bringing up the situation
That any of this could hold any intention
Doubting the sincerity or purpose behind the actions
I'm sure all your friends receive the same affection
Suggesting that others receive similar attention
My bad I should've made that connection
Regretting not making a connection earlier
Oh you, you broke my heart, at least I have one to break
Reiteration of heartbreak, highlighting personal resilience
I know that you can't say the same
Noting the other person's inability to feel the same
I bought right in to all that you did
Admitting to falling for the person's actions
Oh that was my mistake
Recognizing the mistake of trusting the person
I may be the fool, but at least I'm not the fake
Acknowledging being a fool but asserting authenticity again
You knew how to make it feel right
Reflecting on the ability of the person to create positive feelings
'til suddenly I wanted to die
Suddenly experiencing deep emotional pain
Tell me how do you get by
Questioning how the person copes with feeling nothing
Feeling nothing at all no, no, nothing at all
Expressing a sense of numbness or emptiness
You knew how to make it feel right
Reiteration of the person's skill in creating positive emotions
'Til suddenly I wanted to die
Unexpectedly feeling a desire for emotional escape
Baby how do you get by
Questioning how the person continues without feeling
Feeling nothing at all no, no, nothing at all
Reiterating a sense of emotional numbness
I bought right in to all that you did
Acknowledging the mistake of trusting the person's actions
Oh that was my mistake
Reiterating the realization of being a fool
I may be the fool (baby how do you get by)
Reaffirming the self-awareness of being a fool
I may be the fool (baby how do you get by)
Repetition of the acknowledgment of being a fool
I may be the fool (feeling nothing at all, no, no, nothing at all)
Emphasizing the emotional emptiness experienced
I may be the fool, but at least I'm not the fake
Final assertion of being a fool, contrasting with not being fake
