Time, you said that's all I need away from you
So why do you tie me in a knot I can't undo
You're holdin' me so tight as if I'm leavin' you tonight
Just tryin' to let you know that it's all got too much for me
'Cause I can't get, get where I wanna
When you got me stuck in a corner
And you can't see, see what you're doing to me
Baby, I need a room to breathe
I can't feel what I oughta
When you hold me under the water
No, I can't breathe
Why can't you see that you're suffocating me?
Yeah, yeah, eh, oh, oh suffocating me
What do you want from me?
How can I give you more when you strangle my emotion?
Insecurities are shutting every door that's open
I can feel it when you hold me
That you're tryin' to control me
I try to walk away but I can't move
When your nails are in my feet
'Cause I can't get, get where I wanna
When you got me stuck in a corner
And you can't see, see what you're doing to me
Baby, I need a room to breathe
I can't feel what I oughta
When you hold me under the water
No, I can't breathe
Why can't you see that you're suffocating me?
Yeah, yeah, eh, oh, oh suffocating me
♪
You wanna hold me down (hold me down)
Try and put me inside, afraid
You want me all stuck down here forever, ever
You try to bring me down
And tell me that I'm to blame
It's all too much to take
It's never gonna be the same
'Cause I can't get, get where I wanna
When you got me stuck in a corner
And you can't see, see what you're doing to me
Baby, I need a room to breathe
I can't feel what I oughta
When you hold me under the water
No, I can't breathe
Why can't you see that you're suffocating me?
Yeah, yeah, eh, oh, oh suffocating me
