Lyrics

So you're proud to be a good one

Expressing pride in being a good person

But the good ones always complain

Noting that good people often complain

About the stuff they never did

Commenting on complaints about things never done

Don't make a thing about the bad kind

Minimizing attention to negative experiences

'Cause the bad kind don't even know

Suggesting that bad individuals are unaware of their impact

All the hearts they are messing with

Highlighting the unintentional harm caused by the "bad kind"


You can point fingers, so you won't

Acknowledging the ability to assign blame

I don't care, I love you anyway

Expressing love despite potential finger-pointing

You can point fingers, so you won't

-

I don't care, I love you anyway

Reiterating love despite accusations


Yeah, I'm falling in love

Admitting to falling in love and hoping for reciprocation

And I hope that you want me

-

The way that I am!

Desiring acceptance for oneself as they are

Falling in love

Continuing to express feelings and accepting one's unchangeable nature

And I know I can't change me

-

Do you understand?

Seeking understanding from the partner


Falling in love

And I hope that you want me

-

The way that I am!

-

Falling in love

-

And I know I can't change me

-

Do you understand?

-

I've been told I am the problem

Acknowledging being labeled as the problem

And the problem is my honesty

Identifying honesty as the perceived issue

When it's worst than how it seems

Indicating that reality is worse than it seems

And I tell you all the wrong things

Admitting to revealing uncomfortable truths

All the things you don't wanna hear

Sharing undesirable information

'cause they change your perfect dream

Recognizing the impact on a perfect dream


You can point fingers, so you won't

Reaffirming love despite potential blame

I don't care, I love you anyway

-

You can point fingers, so you won't

-

I don't care, I love you anyway

-

Yeah, I'm falling in love

Repeating the theme of falling in love and seeking acceptance

And I hope that you want me

-

The way that I am!

-

Falling in love

-

And I know I can't change me

-

Do you understand?

-

Falling in love

Continuing the expression of love and acknowledging personal limitations

And I hope that you want me

-

The way that I am!

-

Falling in love

-

And I know I can't change me

-

Do you understand?

-

Falling in love

Reiterating the desire for acceptance and understanding

And I hope that you want me

-

The way that I am!

-

Falling in love

-

And I know I can't change me

-

Do you understand?
