lyrics

I never meant to repeat my tragic flaw of
Overcorrection for fear of being shallow
This time I thought I was being transparent
But nevertheless my hesitance got the best of both of us

Now here I am, having fucked up everything once again

A twist of fate had us both appreciating
The qualities in the same man
Instead of choose, we all thought we could use a dose
Of being utterly modern
But then you felt for me a heightened sense of chemistry
Which I simply couldn’t reciprocate
You needed so much more than merely a metamour

Now here I am, having fucked up everything once again

I’ve realized deep inside me I have the
Potential to become a homewrecker
Thus my main fear was that it might appear that I
Had some hidden agenda
I will admit there were times I had hoped he and I
Might end up married
In retrospect, I would hate to deflect from the
Beautiful love you both carried

Now here I am, having fucked up everything once again
