“Admit It” tells the story through the eyes of someone who has been betrayed by someone close to them. The subject of this song is the same person referenced in the song “Hypnotized” on the same album. Lead singer of Set It Off, Cody Carson, says about the song,
It’s about someone in my life who I...
[Verse 1]
You look at me with accusing eyes
Like I’m the one that put you on trial
You say that they got you wrong
But this voice in my head’s saying stay away
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me not to listen, I can’t believe it
Covered up my eyes so I couldn’t see it
Guess you never know what you never know
But this voice in my head doesn’t go away
My heart is at my feet
And it seems everything’s about to change
[Chorus]
Just admit it, you made your own bed
It’s time to sleep in it
Just admit it, you dug your own grave
That now you’re buried in
Is it your story we’re missing?
Well did we blink, did we miss it?
Lemme tell you why I know you won’t
Just admit it, because the truth won’t set you free
[Verse 2]
Stop, 'cause it’s overwhelming
I’m not prepared for goodbye
But you fucked up when you tried to hide it
You can’t let go of your pride, whoa
Take your excuses, you tied your own nooses
You’re hanging yourself out to dry
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me not to listen, I can’t believe it
Covered up my eyes so I couldn’t see it
Guess you never know what you never know
But this voice in my head doesn’t go away
My heart is at my feet
And it seems everything’s about to change
[Chorus]
Just admit it, you made your own bed
It’s time to sleep in it
Just admit it, you dug your own grave
That now you’re buried in
Is it your story we’re missing?
Well did we blink, did we miss it?
Lemme tell you why I know you won’t
Just admit it, because the truth won’t set you free
Just admit it, just admit it
You dug your own grave, that now you’re buried in
Just admit it, you made your own bed
It’s time to sleep in it
Just admit it, you dug your own grave
That now you’re buried in
Is it your story we’re missing?
Well did we blink, did we miss it?
Lemme tell you why I know you won’t
Just admit it, because the truth won’t set you free
