You're asking for what I can't give
You're looking for much more than this
Don't make me do what I can't do
I'm better off losing you
It makes no sense the circumstance
The things can change so try again
Anytime but now, any day but today
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession
Anytime but now, any day but today
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession
I'm nervous boy you make me sweat
I can't believe the things you say
You're going in far too deep
This kind of love I just can't keep
It makes no sense the circumstance
The things can change so try again
Anytime but now, any day but today
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession

"Confession" by Angel City is a song about a person who is being asked for something they can't give. It could be about a love that is one-sided, and one person wants more from it than the other. The singer is expressing that they can't handle this level of intensity, and that they are better off without this relationship. They try to explain the situation by saying that the circumstances make no sense, and that it's better to give up on this relationship. The singer makes it clear that they are finding their own way, and it's not the right time for them. The lyrics have an uplifting tone, and convey that moving on from a difficult situation is the right thing to do.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a battle against peer pressure or the weight of expectations from society or even personal expectations. The singer is refusing to give in to these expectations and is making a conscious decision to walk away, even though it's a hard thing to do. The song is essentially about finding the courage to express oneself and stand up for their own beliefs. It's a reminder that every individual is unique, and they must stay true to themselves, even if it means going against what is expected of them.

I prefer to deal with this later, at a more convenient time.
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
I am trying to escape this situation on my own terms, not the way you want me to.
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession
I admit that I cannot continue this any longer and it is time for us to part ways.
I'm nervous boy you make me sweat
Your presence makes me anxious and uncomfortable.
I can't believe the things you say
The things you are saying are hard for me to accept or comprehend.
You're going in far too deep
You are getting too emotionally invested in this relationship.
This kind of love I just can't keep
I cannot maintain this level of emotional attachment.
It's too intense the circumstance
The current situation is too overwhelming and demanding.
It's not the place, it's not the time
The current situation is not suitable or appropriate for what you are asking.

You're asking for what I can't give
You're looking for much more than this
Don't make me do what I can't do
I'm better off losing you
It makes no sense the circumstance
The things can change so try again
Anytime but now, any day but today
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession
Anytime but now, any day but today
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession
I'm nervous boy you make me sweat
I can't believe the things you say
You're going in far too deep
This kind of love I just can't keep
It makes no sense the circumstance
The things can change so try again
Anytime but now, any day but today
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession
Anytime but now, any day but today
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession
It's too intense the circumstance
It's not the place, it's not the time
Anytime but now, any day but today
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession
Anytime but now, any day but today
I'm finding my way out, anyway but your way
It's time to give it up, baby this is my confession
