Death Grip

They say to love someone
You set them free
But I know you’ll hate it over there
Just stay with me

They say to love someone
It’s always selfless
But is it selfish
If I know what you need?

My heart wants to squeeze and smother
Screaming I can’t lose another
Don’t know how to let you go
Death grip’s all I’ve ever known
Growing up’s a kind of grieving
Why is everybody leaving
Don’t know how to let you go
Death grip’s all I’ve ever known

Like a for sale sign
On my childhood lawn
Where will my home be
Where will I go
When you’re gone
When you’re gone
When you’re gone

My heart wants to squeeze and smother
Screaming I can’t lose another
Don’t know how to let you go
Death grip’s all I’ve ever known
Growing up’s a kind of grieving
Why is everybody leaving
Don’t know how to let you go
Death grip’s all I’ve ever known

I don’t want to pull you under
I don’t want to hold you down
I just miss when we were younger
When everyone was in one town

My heart wants to squeeze and smother
Screaming I can’t lose another
Don’t know how to let you go
Death grip’s all I’ve ever known
Growing up’s a kind of grieving
Why is everybody leaving
Don’t know how to let you go
Death grip’s all I’ve ever known
