Now even though I try to play it off I'm thinkin' 'bout you all day long And I can't wait for shorty to come through From your lips and back up to your eyes My hands on your hips when we grind I'm fantasizin' 'bout what I'm gon' do, to you Got me fiendin' for her love, can't lie Man, you should see how she got me Spendin' all this time with her (With her) And I couldn't leave her if I wanted to Her love turns men into fools Tell me what a man is to do 'Cause I can't breathe when you talk to me I can't breathe when you're touchin' me I suffocate when you're away from me So much love you take from me I'm goin' outta my mind I can't breathe when you talk to me I can't breathe when you're touchin' me I suffocate when you're away from me So much love you take from me I'm goin' outta my mind Whenever we up in this bed And my fingers all in your hair I wonder if you feel me watchin' you 'Cause I can't go a night without your lovin' Got me lookin' at this phone Every time it rings, I hope it's you, girl Got me bracin' for your love And I've, fallen for you, I can't lie I just wanna be with you And yes, she got me there, I said it Somebody call the paramedics Tell 'em to hurry up and come through 'Cause I can't breathe when you talk to me I can't breathe when you're touchin' me I suffocate when you're away from me So much love you take from me I'm goin' outta my mind I can't breathe when you talk to me I can't breathe when you're touchin' me I suffocate when you're away from me So much love you take from me I'm goin' outta my mind Don't ever leave me, girl I need you inside my world I can't go a day without you And see, nobody else will ever do I'll never feel like I feel with you 'Cause I can't breathe when you talk to me I can't breathe when you're touchin' me I suffocate when you're away from me So much love you take from me I'm goin' outta my mind I can't breathe when you talk to me I can't breathe when you're touchin' me I suffocate when you're away from me So much love you take from me I'm goin' outta my mind (I'm goin' outta my mind) Ooh, no, no, I can't breathe Ooh, no, no, I can't breathe Ooh, no, no, I can't breathe, ooh, no, no Ooh, no, no, I can't breathe Ooh, no, no, I can't breathe

It's becoming obvious that you're losing your mind While your inabilities leave you falling behind I think that you could think without And breathe without me if you were on your own Or would you duplicate all the things that you've been shown The path that you lead has been paved with greed And actions condemning your soul And while you suffocate on every breath you take I align against you I'm everything you'll never know The sight of it is obvious as it's blinding my eyes While your insecurities leave you waiting in line I think that you could think without And breathe without me if you were on your own Or would your replicate all the things that you've been shown And while you suffocate on every breath you take The actual meaning is lost And while you suffocate on every breath you take I align against you I'm everything you'll never know I... I won't do what you tell me I... I won't be what you say I... Hate the moments you stole me Take them away You... Aren't there when I need you You... Don't hear what I say You... Every breath that you take You suffocate

Suffocate Self deprecate Sippin' on the juice Makes me feel okay Strong poker face I'll never let you see what I'm feeling Don't judge the process of my healing Life's a game A game we love to play Some are born with luck Have a winning fate Filled with dread I know I'm not the same as them Push myself to do the best that I can Why can't I take the chance? Guess I'm scared of the reaction I don't want to feel this way no more So scared to open that door Suffocate Self deprecate Sippin' on the juice Makes me feel okay Strong poker face I'll never let you see what I'm feeling Don't judge the process of my healing Two sides like a Gemini One side will never hides Open book with a passion What you think of my mind Sometimes I go crazy Confidence like MJ in the 80s Been chillin beast mode lately Manic with intention of direction Getting money While I got my diamonds dancing I could switch it up Show myself some love Before I give it up But I know what I'm about to run back too The same attitude That's left me stuck on the same stoop So it goes Circles in the road I find myself in the same place I was before Think I'm seeing ghosts Travel through the unknown Searching for a purpose why me Why this world?

This burden comes with a price You can't afford to pay The will of fire will burn Get the fuck out! I found the hate you locked away It speaks in tongues a human couldn't replicate You don't know yet what you are It couldn't go, but it couldn't stay Now it's throwing fuel into a bigger flame I think we may have gone too far You don't get what you deserve No you get what you take The will of fire will burn And blow up in your face The burden comes with a price I don't think you can pay The will of fire will burn And it don't suffocate The will of fire will burn And it don't suffocate Suffocate And as I spin out of control Every second takes me further down the rabbit hole The devil now holds all the cards He's listening, and taking hold Digging his claws into a soul you never sold You were his right from the start You don't get what you deserve No you get what you take The will of fire will burn And blow up in your face The burden comes with a price I don't think you can pay The will of fire will burn And it don't suffocate This is our monster The will of fire will burn And it don't suffocate

The hating and the waiting, hesitating I just want to be done with you Faking for the taking but I'm waking Up to the fact that you're lying and denying Justifying all the actions you take It's pathetic and poetic It's just sick It's just sick Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving All the damage is done And you've broken any notion of trust Because you're lying and denying Justifying all the actions you take It's pathetic and poetic It's just sick It's just sick Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving All the damage is done All the damage done All the damage done Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Force my hand when my eyes are wide open You're lying and denying it's just sick You're lying and denying it's just sick It's just sick

Do you feel like you're falling? You've taken this step In front of you Is further from the truth And you fall apart In front of me again Again Denial isn't the way to forgiveness You always swore that I was wrong Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again So you try not to follow While the clock fails to sleep So here we are Back where it began And toe to toe I stand In front of you again Again Denial isn't the way to forgiveness You always swore that I was wrong Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again, again Again

Well, I want you to notice To notice when I'm not around I know that your eyes see straight through me And speak to me without a sound I want to hold you Protect you from all of the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way that a father should love his daughter When I walked out this morning I cried as I walked to the door I cried about how long I'd be away for I cried about leaving you all alone I want to hold you Protect you from all of the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way that a father should love his daughter Sweet Zoe Jane Sweet Zoe Jane So I wanted to say this 'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin To explain to you what I have been through To explain where your daddy has been So I want to hold you Protect you from all of the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way that a father should love his daughter Sweet Zoe Jane Sweet Zoe Jane

Not really good at just paying attention I'm not very good at remembering things that you say I'm not very good at pursuing redemption Not very good at concealing the hand that I play It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am I'm not really sure of the coming attractions I'm not really sure of illusions we read on the wall I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice I'm not really sure if we'll notice it before we fall It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am Not very good at just paying attention Not very good at remembering things I'm not very good at pursuing redemption Not very good at concealing the hand that I play When I'm trying so hard just to beat you I'm not really good at controlling my fate I'm not really good at controlling my anger I'm not really good at subduing my hate I'm not really good I'm not really good I'm not really good It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am

I think I used to pray I thought it would save me from my hell But what they never say Nobody's God ever saves you from yourself And all my faults Are all my fault And I just want To feel it all Feel it all! Feel it all! How can I face what's under the surface, when nothing is working? How can I break away from the burden? This cycle of hurting I'm still waiting to change I'm still waiting to wake up as someone else At the end of the day I'm too stubborn to get any help And all my faults Are all my fault And I just want To feel it all How can I face what's under the surface, when nothing is working? How can I break away from the burden? This cycle of hurting How can I face what's under the surface, when nothing is working? How can I break away from the burden? This cycle of hurting Away from the burden This cycle of hurting Cycle of hurting!
