[Verse 1]
Waiting, anticipating my every move

Oh, if he knew
[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees

Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
When you're just not looking where you should
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
And somethings can be misunderstood (oh)
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
When you're just not looking where you should
[Bridge]
"He said 'Alright, well I'm a bit tired of chasing you around, so if you want to chill you have my number.'"
-"Ouch."
"But like, you know when you're in a - like a situation and sometimes you can't see that you're being a bitch?

But it's funny 'cause now I've laid all my cards out like he knows exactly how I feel
I'm now the vulnerable one
But then again, that was inevitable."
[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
And somethings can be misunderstood (oh)
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
When you're just not looking where you should
