lyrics

Choke on my spit
like a dog at the bit
it's so nice
when you look at me like this
(be kind to me)
I can't take the heat
It's better to stay far away
Out of the aim
Of your very precise fire
(be kind to me)

I want to know
What you think when you look at me
Is there something I'm missing
Cause I've been screaming
At the top of my lungs for weeks

If a kiss is a chore
Why would you ever want more
But please, won't you tell me
Exactly how it feels when you're on top of it all
I can't be your light
It's so easy when we fight, we fight, and we fight
To point your finger and scream
That it's not you, baby, its me
(be kind to me)

I want to know
What you think when you look at me
Is there something I'm missing
Cause I've been screaming
At the top of my lungs for weeks

I want to know
What you fear when I speak your name
Are we hearing the same thing
Or do the words keep bouncing around in your brain

Do you really mean what you say
Your words, they hold so much weight
I'm breaking at the edge of my frame
We will never be the same

And I choke
On my spit
Like a dog

I want to know
What you think when you look at me
Is there something I'm missing
Cause I've been screaming
At the top of my lungs for weeks

I want to know
What you fear when I speak your name
Are we hearing the same thing
Or do the words keep bouncing around in your brain
