Your elastic words snap back
The stinging pierces deep and fills me with your pain
No antidote can save me from the fact
That thoughts of sympathy I cannot entertain
Every move I make just tightens up your grip
Your damaged psyche cannot be undone
Every move I make just tightens up your grip
Why don't you let me slip away from you?
This push and pull, it frightens me
Bound by promises I know I cannot keep
This push and pull confuses me
Take advantage while my tired eyes
My tired eyes are full of sleep
You thought that I could save you from yourself
Some sort of shield, some kind of shining knight
Hidden thoughts are hazards to your health
I will not fan the flames that pa**ion would ignite
Every move I make just tightens up your grip
Your skewed perspective cannot be undone
Every move I make just tightens up your grip
Why don't you let me slip away from you?
