It's making you cry every time
You give your love to me this way
Saying you'd wait for me to stay
I know it hurts you
[Chorus]
But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'd change for you someday
But I can't help the way I feel
Wish I was good
Wish that I could give you my love now
[Chorus]
But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry

In an interview with Apple Music, Greg Gonzalez said:
I think we all, or many of us, want to be in relationships. I’ve always been looking for a relationship, one that would be spiritual, one that could be forever, with someone that you just fall in love with and you can’t help it. We had just started to really tour, and all I was trying to do was to play music for a living—to be a writer, and for that to be my identity. I had met a few people that I probably could have had deep relationships with, but I found that since we were touring, I just wasn’t ready for it, I wasn’t in the right place for it. This song was a reaction to all of that. I just couldn’t commit.
