Drag Me Down

Dear friend
I wasn't sure when I'd see you again
I've grown up but you don't change
After all these years you still look the same
On school days
When we were outside playing our games
I wouldn't see you on the playground
I never heard you make a sound
But you'd still come and drag me down

Years past
Life started moving by so fast
I thought I left you behind
But still you got inside my mind
I'd take a step up
Only to find out that I'd messed up
And when you'd follow me around
You would only drag me down

I can't catch my breath
I'm losing control
When you're around I feel so alone
My pulse is fast
Can't quiet my mind
It's fight or flight
This happens every time
You tease and you taunt
Is this what you want?
You tease and you taunt
Is this what you want?
Is this what you want?

Goodbye
My old friend until the next time
If you visit when you're back in town
Please don't come and drag me down
I wish you never came around
