I know, I messed up

I just tend to be that way

I can’t take back the unthought out words that I say

And I wish I didn’t

Screw up so bad

I ruined the best things we

Had


For a second

Let it be

For a while

I was naïve

So naïve


Why couldn’t we be?

Was there something I couldn’t see?

It’s probably why your friends

Hate me


All this bad clout

I guess it’s alright

I have more stuff to think about

Every sleepless night


For a second

Let it be

For a while

I was naïve

So naïve

I was just

So blind

I just wanted you

To be mine


Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah

Being in that relationship gave me a bad image for a few months, and obviously hurt my self esteem after the break up.

In this outro section of the song, Cyreese is screaming “Ah” eight different times because he is being chased by a bear. Cyreese uses this to elicit feelings of naivety that are peppered throughout the song’s transcript, but only when you analyze the symbolism of the bear chasing him will the metaphor behind it stand out: he is lost in the world and being chased by his darkest demons, and is naive overall because of his vulnerability to the savage animal.

At the time, a lot of my ex girlfriend’s friends hated me, and it was one of the biggest things that stuck with me.

Cyreese is conveying the fact that he knows he has messed up before, and in situations like this, he tends to mess up more than not

This originally was the beginning of the second verse but was switched when I realized how much better it fit the chorus.
