The lyrics talk about a person (the protagonist) who is in love with someone else (his partner), but feels like he can't be with them. The protagonist talks about how his partner only likes him when he acts a certain way and dresses a certain way, and he wonders if he should change himself to be what his partner wants. He also mentions that he knows his partner will never leave him, but he still wishes that they would sometimes choose him instead.
