Max has caught feelings for a friend and is struggling with the distance growing between them after his feelings were made known. He, in part, blames himself for the change but also feels the blame does not lay strictly with him.
Oh, you're closer than you should be
If I'm still just a friend you said you need
Oh, you hold me like you want me
Then you pull away as though we've crossed a line that I can't see
I thought that I'd be better
At keeping my feet on the ground
No this ain't what we asked for
I fucked up right into the clouds
But don't tell me I'm the only reason why
We're breaking
Don't tell me I'm the only one who end
And changed things
Really didn't see this coming, wasn't looking for
More than what we had
Never meant to fall for you like that
Don't tell me I'm the only one to blame
For an honest mistake
Ooh
Ooh
Oh, you said our honesty was holy
But I bend my words to make them feel less real
Dancing around, saying out loud
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you
Scared that if I let myself that you might wanna leave
I thought that I'd be better
At keeping my feet on the ground
No this ain't what we asked for
I fucked up right into the clouds
Oh
But don't tell me I'm the only reason why
We're breaking
Don't tell me I'm the only one who end
And changed things
Really didn't see this coming, wasn't looking for
More than what we had
Never meant to fall for you like that
So don't tell me I'm the only one to blame
For an honest mistake
Ooh
Ooh
Don't tell me I'm the only reason why
We're breaking
Don't tell me I'm the only one who end
And changed things
Really didn't see this coming, wasn't looking for
More than what we had
Never meant to fall for you like that
So don't tell me I'm the only one to blame
For an honest mistake
Ooh
Ooh
Oo-oo-ooh
