Lyrics

Tired of fighting expectations

Feeling exhausted from trying to meet others' expectations

I Don’t even deserve your patience

Believing that one doesn't deserve the patience of another

Tryna live in the moment but I don’t wanna keep you waiting

Struggling to live presently without wanting to make someone wait

Part of me that you want but I know

Recognizing a desirable aspect of oneself that the other person wants, but not ready to confront it

That I just can’t face yet

Avoiding facing something that is difficult or uncomfortable

If I Don’t let it go then I know that I’ll do damage

Aware that holding onto something will cause harm

It was all good and well when I had it

Previously, things were good when possessing it

Giving more than I can manage

Giving more effort than one can handle

It’s so good

The situation seems appealing

But it’s bad for me

Despite being enjoyable, it's ultimately detrimental

From a dream to reality

Transitioning from an idealized vision to the actual reality

What you want is just out of my reach

Realizing that what the other person desires is unattainable

It’s so good

Reiterating that it seems tempting but not beneficial

But it’s bad for me

Reiterating the pleasure despite knowing its adverse effects

If I stayed it’d be bitter sweet

Staying would bring mixed feelings—both pleasant and painful

So I’ll love you enough to leave

Choosing to leave because caring for someone means letting them go for their betterment

And it hurts to be honest But Not more than lie yeah

Admitting that being honest hurts but not as much as living a lie

Knowing we want change

Acknowledging the desire for change despite the challenge it brings

Why do we run from the fate now ending in a Tragedy Two hearts

Questioning why people avoid the inevitable, leading to a tragic end for both involved

Too far apart

Expressing a sense of distance and disconnection between two hearts

Torn from the start

Highlighting the struggle and difficulty from the beginning

And I know that won’t be easy

Acknowledging that letting go won't be easy

If I Don’t let it go then I know that I’ll do damage

Reiterating the understanding that holding on will cause harm

It was all good and well when I had it

Previously, when in possession, things were positive

Giving more than I can manage

Continuing to exert more effort than manageable

It’s so good

Emphasizing the attractiveness of the situation despite its detrimental nature

But it’s bad for me

Despite being enticing, it's ultimately harmful

From a dream to reality

Transitioning from an ideal to the reality that desires are unattainable

What you want is just out of my reach

Realizing the impossibility of achieving what the other person desires

It’s so good

Repeated emphasis on the situation being appealing but harmful

But it’s bad for me

Reiterating the pleasure despite its negative consequences

If I stayed it’d be bitter sweet

Staying would bring mixed feelings—both pleasant and painful

It’s so good

Reiterating the appeal despite recognizing its adverse effects

But it’s bad for me

Emphasizing the attraction despite its detrimental nature

It’s so good

Repeated emphasis on the situation being appealing but harmful

But it’s bad for me

Reiterating the pleasure despite knowing its adverse effects
