Why be in love when it hurts you?
Why not forget and move on?
Love chains you down, it doesn't let you move
It keeps you where you don't wanna be and doesn't let you go until you let them go
It's such a simple statement: forget and move on
But why can't we do that?
Why can't we let go?
It seems so easy; yet whenever I see you, I forget to move on
I hate you when you're not there, and I love you when you are
Is this emotional dependence?
Can I not be on my own anymore?
Leave me, why don't you?
Break my heart, it's already broken enough
Broken by doubt and emotional weakness
Broken by you and your words and your actions

My feet feel numb, I've been in this position for so long
I don't know in my brain what's going on
I thought I trained my heart to be lead
But now all I know is that love is dead
Love is dead, love is dead
Who am I kidding? It's all in my head
I can't move on
I can't move on
What can I say? I don't know what's going on
I probably need help
More likely so
More than yesterday
Probably
I want someone to love and I want someone to love me
And yet I want to be out in the world and free
I don't want any formal commitments, just some love and maybe some fun
But now I feel as if that chance is all done
It's gone, it's gone
But what can I say? I don't know what's wrong

I feel stupid for my actions
I feel stupid for falling
I was supposed to keep the both of us up
But look at me now
I can't even keep myself up
Or maybe I'm up but I can't see
Or maybe I can see
But I just don't want to
What's happening to me?
How am I this affected by you?
Is it hardwired into my brain?

Am I maybe going insane?
