In this poignant track, Chelsea Cutler delves into the complexities of a relationship fraught with doubt and emotional imbalance. The lyrics convey a sense of one-sided dedication, where the narrator is deeply invested in nurturing the bond, symbolized by "tying ribbons" around her heart. Despite her efforts, she feels unappreciated and unseen by her partner, who is preoccupied with finding faults and red flags that may not exist. The repeated notion of needing "a second" suggests a partner's hesitation or inability to fully commit. Ultimately, the narrator expresses a heartbreaking realization that if she were to leave, her partner likely wouldn't follow, underscoring the emotional disconnect and lack of mutual commitment in their relationship. This song captures the pain of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate with equal intensity and highlights the struggle between staying hopeful and facing reality.
