You scare the hell out of me

Jumping off bridges

and drowning in bottles

I try to speak but cant

because I know you

and that you're hopeless

You push me to my limits

Telling me lies

and shoving me away

I try to speak but cant

because you won't imagine

giving me the time of day

You screw me over again

Telling me you love me

and that you always cared

I try to speak but cant

because somehow I believe

you're telling the truth
