The duo sings about a relationship that was extravagant in the beginning, but with time, the person that was once so great in her eyes starts to fade and she sees him for what he really is.

[Verse 1]
You stand so still
Hiding on the corner
Waiting for a sign to come, I come, ah
I know your type
Yeah, you're all the same
But who I am to blame when I fall deep?
[Pre-Chorus]
In the beginning, you intrigue
But the way you move, it terrifies me
And you remind me of the things that I don't need
[Chorus]
You're a hothouse flower
Something I cannot handle
You, you
Can't handle you
Can't handle you
[Verse 2]

Then I take one backwards
I'm kinda curious
Oh no, you got me already
[Pre-Chorus]
In the beginning, you succeed
But the way you move, it terrifies me
And you remind me of the things that I don't need
[Chorus]
You're a hothouse flower
Something I cannot handle
You, you
Can't handle you
[Bridge]
I don't need your mess
I don't need your shadow
I don't need your bed
I always found it shallow
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
You're a hothouse flower
Something I cannot handle
You, you
Can't handle—
You're a hothouse flower
Something I cannot handle
You, you
Can't handle you
Can't handle you
