Mechanism

I need you
I can't breathe the same anymore
Don't hate me
I'm just trying to cope while you're gone

I used to know you
You don't want to talk to me now
Giving you the space that you need
I'll just cope here while you're gone

Like a puppet on a string
Watching you pull everything
Say you lost your faith and you don't feel the same
Feelings begin to change
Should I fight for this or should I walk away

Assumptions lead to false conclusions or bad decisions
Constant pressure more confusion, the stress and tension
You don't seem so empathetic looking at me like I'm pathetic
So not attractive begging

I noticed the vibe changed cause I didn't hear from you as much
I knew something was up because your answers were so short
This time I really didn't know, next time will you tell me so
I'm just hoping for a next time, cause there's
Nothing in the world that's ever worth seeing you go

Tripping over doubts and fears, anger silence
Distance drama secrets got us here
I hope you just need time and this is not beyond repair
Regardless gotta keep it moving forward far away from the desperate

I see the future through the lens of a dark cloud
You told me it was over then I started freaking out
The grass is never greener on the other side of you
So what do I do now

I noticed the vibe changed cause I didn't hear from you as much
I knew something was up because your answers were so short
This time I really didn't know, next time will you tell me so
I'm just hoping for a next time, cause there's
Nothing in the world that's ever worth seeing you go

Long for the touch and the taste of your flesh
Will you push my head down so I can
Suffocate smiling going downtown
Doing what we both know best, over and over and over again

Promise to keep you happy, keep you protected
Less confrontation, more communication
Still have this dream of being with you everyday
I try to make less mistakes, but baby give me break
I respect your space, but I won't be erased
