Suffocating

A load of souls on a ball of dirt
In a space and time that's arbitrary
Trying to figure out what it's worth
To find a soul entwined that makes you very
Stimulated intellectually with the chemistry
Kinda scary when the way you and they feel results could vary

I'll play it cool
Because the worst that could happen is I act a fool
And again it was all just in my head
and I should have just kept my mouth shut instead
'Cause I'm a dab hand and getting it wrong
Looking back at the years that have come and gone
All the way through my entire life
Not even for a minute have I got it right

Don't go letting me down
This time I could drown

I'm just imitating
Overcompensating
I am suffocating
From what I'm not saying
Mm-mm-mm-mm (I am suffocating from what I'm not saying)
I am suffocating
From what I'm not saying

I do it to myself
Can I ever really blame anybody else?
When I allow you to set the pace
And I keep my mouth shut to save face
Even when you shut me down
When I try and make a conversation count
It's not like you've quite turned me down
So something about you makes me stick around
I know you can confide in me like you got no one else to talk to
I just wish that we could talk about the one thing I want to
I think you know that I been distant
I think it's pretty funny that you've been resistant
When I distance myself 'cause you're fucking with my health
By being all up in my business

Don't go letting me hang
When's it my turn to last

I'm facilitating
You're being irritating
I am suffocating
From what I'm not saying
Hey-oh (I am suffocating from what I'm not saying)
I am suffocating
From what I'm not saying

Don't go letting me down
This time I could drown

So we'll drift apart
Because things can't stay as the way they are
So it's gonna be one or the other
But you've got a weird thing with another
Who you can't talk to so you just speak to me instead
But the emotion you invest is messing with my head
For all our similarities we're not the same
'Cause it looks like we want different things
And yeah well that's okay
I wish that we could have it out
And we could draw a line and just get it done
But every time I think about it
I just flinch and the words don't come

You're so fascinating
Left me gravitating
I am suffocating
From what you're not saying
Hey-oh (I am suffocating)
Oh yeah-eah-eah-eah-oh (from what you're not saying)
I am suffocating
From what you're not saying

It's debilitating
Overcompensating
I am suffocating
From what I'm not saying (hey yeah yeah)
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah (I am am suffocating)
Ooh-ooh (from what I'm not saying)
I am suffocating (hey)
From what I'm not saying (ya-ay, ya-ay, ya-ay)

I am suffocating
From what I'm not saying
I am suffocating
From what I'm not saying
I am suffocating
From what I'm not saying
