[Verse 1]
Waiting, anticipating my every move
And how frustrating if I was straight with him
Oh, if he knew

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
And somethings can be misunderstood (oh)
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
When you're just not looking where you should

[Verse 2]
Now he's debating 'cause I've been playing with him too long
He's left me guessing everything, I'm stressing
Oh, if I knew

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
And somethings can be misunderstood (oh)
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
When you're just not looking where you should

[Bridge]
"He said 'Alright, well I'm a bit tired of chasing you around, so if you want to chill you have my number.'"
-"Ouch."
"But like, you know when you're in a - like a situation and sometimes you can't see that you're being a bitch?
But when you like take a step back out of it and look at it from a different perspective, you know everything you said was just, shit basically
I know, yeah, it could've hurt him
I certainly wouldn't have felt great after that
But it's funny 'cause now I've laid all my cards out like he knows exactly how I feel
I'm now the vulnerable one
But then again, that was inevitable."

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
And somethings can be misunderstood (oh)
Sometimes it's hard to see the wood 'for the trees
When you're just not looking where you should
