The song is about someone comforting/confronting their “sugar” about why they are always pushing away things for “tomorrow” but never actually get to them because they are afraid for failure and disappointment and the singer continues on to explain there’s a reason for why we lose
[Verse 1: Coleman Trapp]
I don't know what you want
Let's have a bit of fun 'til I downfall
My love, if you feel like I do right now
Don't say you're on the run to the other side, my love
[Pre-Drop: Coleman Trapp]
You say you wanna try but you never do
Sugar, there's a reason why we lose
You say you wanna cry but you never do
Sugar, there's a reason why we lose
