Exposed
Bear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wary of the ordinary,
Your timing was good,
I wasn’t to know who you were,
I misunderstood,
 
You’re different, you’re special,
You’ve left me wanting more,
But you’re too hot, to handle,
Filthy to the core,
 
And if I look to the left, well it’s the same as the right,
I’m falling for you from a dangerous height,
No safety net and everyone knows,
I’m all exposed,
It’s in the papers today, on every TV screen,
A proper scandal, paparazzi dream,
No cover up yeah, this case is closed,
I’m all exposed,
 
Reputation in question now,
We weren’t supposed to be,
We are from two different worlds,
Yet perfect, to a degree,
 
Forever, in my head,
Some things you cannot forget,
It’s foolish, but I have,
No shame or regrets,
 
And if I look to the left, well it’s the same as the right,
I’m falling for you from a dangerous height,
No safety net and everyone knows,
I’m all exposed,
It’s in the papers today, on every TV screen,
A proper scandal, paparazzi dream,
No cover up yeah, this case is closed,
I’m all exposed,
 
(Break)
 
Our motives, are selfish,
We’ve been insanely reckless,




It’s stupid, and crazy,
Spot on nonetheless
