[Intro — spoken / distant] Maybe I forgot to mention... I don't know how to let you in. Maybe I forgot to mention... Where all of this begins. [Verse 1] I'm lying if I say I'm good, Maybe I'm just misunderstood. I learned to hide behind the silence, Make it look like confidence. You read between the words I said, Found all the things I tried to forget. I can't blame your true intentions, Maybe I forgot to mention... [Pre-Chorus] I keep a distance When you get close. I give you fragments, Never the whole. And when you ask me What I've become— I change the subject, I turn and run. [Chorus] I'm lying if I say I'm good, I'm just misunderstood. I can't blame your true intentions, Maybe I forgot to mention— I wanted you, I wanted us, But wanting never was enough. I can't blame your true intentions, Maybe I forgot to mention... [Drop — minimal vocal chops] Forgot to mention... Mention... Mention... I'm not good... Just misunderstood... [Verse 2] You gave me reasons I ignored, Left the light outside my door. I kept pretending I was certain, While I was hiding behind the curtain. You weren't asking me to change, You were asking me to stay. Now the silence fills the distance With everything I couldn't say. [Pre-Chorus] I keep a distance When you get close. I give you fragments, Never the whole. Maybe the truth is I always knew— The thing I feared most Was losing you. [Chorus] I'm lying if I say I'm good, I'm just misunderstood. I can't blame your true intentions, Maybe I forgot to mention— I wanted you, I wanted us, But wanting never was enough. I can't blame your true intentions, Maybe I forgot to mention... [Breakdown — intimate male vocal] Maybe I forgot to mention I was scared of being seen. Maybe I forgot to mention You meant more than you believed. Maybe I forgot to tell you Why I always disappear. It wasn't you I couldn't trust... It was me when you came near. [Final Drop / Chorus] I'm lying if I say I'm good, I'm just misunderstood. I can't blame your true intentions, Maybe I forgot to mention... Forgot to mention... Forgot to mention... I wanted you, I wanted us... Maybe I forgot to mention. [Outro — whispered] I'm lying if I say I'm good... Maybe I'm just misunderstood.
