Lyrics

I've been biting my tongue

I've been restraining myself from speaking openly

Been so subtly kind

I've been subtly and considerately kind

I've got to think so selfishly

I need to prioritize my own interests

'Cause you're the face inside of me

You represent an integral part of me

I've been biding my days, you see

I've been patiently waiting for a specific period

Evidently it pays

Apparently, this patience has been rewarding

I've been a friend with unbiased views

I've maintained a friendship with unbiased perspectives

Then secretly lust after you

However, I secretly have intense desires for you

So now you feel lusty, you're bored and bemused

Now you feel passionate, bored, and puzzled

You want to do someone else

You desire someone else romantically

So you should be by yourself

You should be alone instead of being with me

Instead of here with me

This line suggests emotional distance or separation

Secretly

Reiteration of the secretive nature of emotions

Trying hard to think pure

I'm struggling to maintain pure thoughts and intentions

Bloody hard when I'm raw

It's challenging when I'm emotionally exposed

You're talking out so sexually

You're discussing intimate matters provocatively

'Bout boys & girls & your friggin' dreams

Talking about relationships and dreams with intensity

Now you feel lusty, you're hot and confused

Now you feel passionate, aroused, and bewildered

You want to do someone else

You desire someone else romantically

So you should be by yourself

You should be alone instead of being with me

Instead of here with me

This line reinforces the suggestion of separation

Secretly

Repeated emphasis on the secretive nature of emotions

So now you've been busted, you're caught feeling used

Now you've been exposed or caught being used

You had to do someone else

You engaged with someone else romantically

You shoulda been by yourself

You should have been alone instead of with someone else

You had to do someone else

Reiteration of engaging with someone else

You shoulda been by yourself

Emphasis on the idea of being alone

Instead of here with me

You should not be here with me, implying regret

Secretly

Repetition of the secretive and hidden nature of emotions

Secretly

Reaffirmation of the secretive theme

Secretly

Final repetition of the idea of secrecy and hidden feelings
