SWEAR TO GOD
Blackbear Lyrics

I spent another night alone again

Woke up in the coldest, coldest bed
The singer feels emotionally cold and disconnected from their partner, and their bed only compounds this feeling.

I ran into God at the liquor store

She asked me what I'm always running for

I gotta get out, I gotta get with it

I got too much doubt and I don't know my limit

But I could deny and I could just lie
The singer recognizes their own ability to deceive others but is choosing to be honest in this moment.

But I'm forthcoming to you

I'm telling the truth, I cheated on you
This is a confession of betrayal and a recognition of the harm caused by infidelity.

And it didn't feel good, promised I'd change
The artist recognizes the negative impact of their actions and is committing to change their behavior.

But you see right through (Seeing right through)
The singer's partner is perceptive to their true intentions and doesn't believe the promises of change.

I'm sick of taking flights to see these other girls

I swear I'm gonna change (Seeing right through)

I'm sick of taking drugs and feeling bad

I swear to God, I'm gonna change

I've been so depressed, can't leave my couch

It's all good it's not like you're checking up on me

You ripped out the best part of my heart and let it bleed

It's all my fucking fault; I can't blame anyone but me
The singer is taking full responsibility for their actions and recognizes that they are the one who caused the harm.
