The lyrics describe being drawn in by charming words and mistaking them for genuine affection, capturing the tension between temptation and awareness. As the feelings grow stronger, the narrator realizes the sweetness was fragile and misleading, turning excitement into emotional confusion. In the end, the song reflects on learning from that experience and regaining clarity after the illusion fades.
