(Would you let me know?)
I guess I need to hear the truth this time
You kept me waiting on a lie (waiting on a lie, wasting all my time)
Waiting on a lie, wasting all my time
Little did I know (little did I know), little did I know
I guess I need to hear the truth this time
Waiting on a lie, wasting all my time
Little did I know (little did I know), little did I know
It could be so long
Watching you, waiting, anticipating
Just a touch would let me know (touch would let me know)
It would show that not just one but two of us could be lovers though
(Thought you'd let me know, thought you'd let me know)
It should be easy to break away, make a little change
It's been so nice not to pretend that we would be together once again
I'm a fool when I know the truth
Know you will not do what I want you to, but why?
I guess I need to hear the truth this time
You kept me waiting on a lie (waiting on a lie, wasting all my time)
Waiting on a lie, wasting all my time
Little did I know (little did I know), little did I know
I guess I need to hear the truth this time
You kept me waiting on a lie (waiting on a lie, wasting all my time)
Waiting on a lie, wasting all my time
Little did I know (little did I know), little did I know
I'm right here like I been all those other times
Just waiting for you to give me a sign (little did I know)
Would be so long, long, watching you
Easy to break away, make a little change
It's been so nice to pretend we could be together again
I'm a fool and I know
Truth, pretend we could be together again
(Guess I need to-, guess I need to-, guess I need to-)
It could be so long
Watching you, waiting, anticipating (Guess I need to-, guess I need to-)
(guess I need to-, guess I need to- guess I need to hear)
Just a touch would let me know
I guess I need to hear the truth this time
You kept me waiting on a lie (waiting on a lie, wasting all my time)
Waiting on a lie, wasting all my time
Little did I know (little did I know), little did I know
I guess I need to hear the truth this time
You kept me waiting on a lie (waiting on a lie, wasting all my time)
Waiting on a lie, wasting all my time
Little did I know (little did I know), little did I know
(It could be so long)
(Watching you, waiting, anticipating)
(Just a touch would let me know)
(It would show that not just one but two of us could be lovers though)
(Would you let me know?)

The lyrics of ShyGirl's "Firefly" poignantly express the struggles of waiting for someone to be truthful about their feelings, intentions, or actions. The repetition of "guess I need to hear the truth this time" emphasizes the importance of honesty and the frustration of being kept waiting on a lie. The lines "easy to break away, make a little change, It's been so nice to pretend we could be together again" suggest that the relationship is not currently healthy or authentic but the singer is willing to hold onto the hope of reconciliation even if it means ignoring the truth. The chorus emphasizes the inability to move forward without the truth and the irony of the singer still waiting for a sign even though they have been there before.
Overall, the song captures the feelings of uncertainty, vulnerability, and fear in a relationship that lacks honesty and authenticity. The singer is willing to stay even though they know that the relationship is not what it seems, which emphasizes the complexities of human emotions and the power dynamics in relationships. The lyrics are poignant and thought-provoking, and the melody complements the mood of the song, making it a memorable and haunting listening experience.
