Lyrics
It was never my intention
The speaker didn't intend to blindly participate in the dating game.
To blindly feed the boy/girl game
They didn't want to engage in the stereotypical roles of relationships based on gender.
I know romance isn't everything
Acknowledgment that love and relationships aren't the sole focus in life.
But I'm obsessing just the same
Despite understanding that, the speaker finds themselves overly preoccupied with love and romance.
Because today I don't feel worthy
The speaker feels inadequate or unworthy compared to the person they are interested in.
You seem so beautiful and strong
Admiration for the beauty and strength of the person they're fixated on.
These unsure hands could never soothe you
The speaker lacks confidence in their ability to comfort or support the other person.
Too afraid of doing something wrong
Fear of making mistakes prevents the speaker from taking action.
And this confusion wears me down
The confusion and internal conflict are emotionally draining for the speaker.
Until I feel like a nervous stranger
The speaker feels disconnected and alienated from themselves, like a stranger.
And could I help you grow? I guess we'll never know
They doubt their ability to contribute positively to the growth of the relationship.
Set up for a let-down
Anticipating disappointment or rejection due to high expectations.
These things happen all the time
Recognizing that such disappointments are common in life.
And I'm not longing to explore it again
The speaker is not interested in revisiting similar situations due to fear.
I'm too scared of what you'll find
Fearful of the potential negative outcomes if the other person discovers more about the speaker.
And this confusion wears me down
Reiteration of the emotional toll caused by the confusion and inner conflict.
But I'll smile when I'm with you
Despite their inner turmoil, the speaker tries to maintain a positive demeanor when around the other person.
'cause there's so much we could do
Belief in the potential of the relationship, whether together or individually.
Together or alone
Expressing openness to being together or being alone, without fear.
I'm not afraid of being alone
Emphasizing the lack of fear towards being alone.
