Baby, I never liked you
I liked your potential
I thought we were something different, a perfect match
My bad for getting my hopes up
I thought it was something special
That you wouldn't let me down like the others
But I was wrong, I'm sorry
You turned out to be just like the rest
And I'm not going to blame you
I was the one who made up the story
I really wanted it to be true
I fell in love with a thought
You don't have to apologize
I was the one who wasted my time
It's not your fault that I have this imagination
That expectation turns into disappointment
It's not you, it's me who expected
Something new and got it wrong again
I saw you as perfect and you weren't even decent
I expect a lot from people
I should be smarter by now
The world spins and appearances lie
And I don't know why I thought you were different
Tell me, how many times will the same thing happen?
But don't worry
Baby, the problem here is mine
And I thought this time, yes
I really wanted it to be you
The one who kisses me in the mornings
And then holds me tight in the club
But I was wrong, I'm sorry
You turned out to be just like the rest
And I'm not going to blame you
I was the one who made up the story
I really wanted it to be true
I fell in love with a thought
You don't have to apologize
I was the one who wasted my time

In

"Me Equivoqué" is Yami Safdie admitting she got it wrong about someone she was falling for.

She never really liked him for who he was, she liked his potential, the person she imagined he could become. When things fall apart, she refuses to blame him for it. The mistake was hers: she built up a fantasy in her head, expected too much, and fell for an idea rather than the real person in front of her.

It is a song about taking responsibility for your own disappointment, and being honest that sometimes the problem is not the other person, but how much you hoped they would be.
