V1
Going on inside, a pain I can't confide
Trying to make ends meet in my own mind
Written on my face, an unread book without a place
And it reads that I walk this life without you
But you wont leave me be
You play blind and see what you want to see
And you want to be, with every part of me
And I wonder when I will ever stop running

CH
And you wont let me go
You want me all of the time
When I'm not yours to do with as you please
No you wont let me go
Yeah I'm sorry I hurt you
But this is all that I can be

V2
You just dived right in, swam beneath my skin
Tried to uncover thoughts that do not concern you
You claim I'm the one
I'm your air, your soul, your sun
And you'd do anything for me
Except what I really want
And you will not see, will not hear
My own side of this story
'Coz you're on my case, in my face
Making it so hard to breath
You clip my wings so I can't fly
Then you wonder why I cry
You try to bring me down time after time

BD
And I didn't ask you to love me
And I didn't ask you to need me
Talking all of the time
Talking downward
Expecting I want your love
Never questioning, asking me
Thinking that maybe
You're pushing and pushing me
Further and further away.
