The song is a ballad about a broken relationship where the singer’s partner cheated on him and lied to him. He asks her to be honest and explain herself. He also expresses his confusion and pain about how he still loves her despite what she did.
[Verse 1]
You can tell me that you tried
But you told me as you said goodbye
And all those things you couldn't say
You just watched me walk away, again
But I was there for you ‘til the end
As your lover and your best friend
[Chorus 1]
So why'd you cross that line and destroy my life?
Please just tell the truth
Because it's a lot to defend, and I can't understand
How I'm still loving you
[Verse 2]
Why can't you be by yourself?
You’re always needing to be with someone else
So uncomfortable in your own skin
I didn't realize that "time alone" meant time with him
[Chorus 2]
So why'd you cross that linе and destroy my life?
Pleasе just tell the truth
'Cause it's a lot to defend, and I can't understand
How I'm still loving you
[Refrain]
We only have one life
To get it right
We had our second chance
And yet we fucked it up again!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 3]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah)
So why'd you cross that line and destroy our lives?
Please just say the truth
It's a lot to defend
I can't understand how I'm still loving you
How am I still loving you?
