[Verse 1]
I've got black tears from your white lies
You say you never meant to make me cry
But you did, but you did
You leave train tracks on my cheeks
Oh, and they stain permanent streaks
There on my skin, on my skin
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I think it's crushing me
I'm breaking down, sometimes I think I really might leave
Ooh, I think it's crushing me
But I can't help myself, I know you're all that I need (All that I need)
[Chorus]
So won't you press me, press me, press me harder
I can hardly breathe, but I love to feel the heat
When you press me, press me, press me harder
I can hardly speak, but I love the way it feels under your pressure
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, your pain, your pleasure
Under your pressure
I can feel the pressure
[Verse 2]
Your words are dressed up in agony
And they never stop coming after me
You don't quit, you don't quit
So I say it straight and you sidestep
But these blurred lines are messing me up
In my head, in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I think it's crushing me
I'm breaking down, sometimes I think I really might leave
Ooh, I think it's crushing me
But I can't help myself, I know you're all that I need (All that I need)
[Chorus]
So won't you press me, press me, press me harder
I can hardly breathe, but I love to feel the heat
When you press me, press me, press me harder
I can hardly speak, but I love the way it feels under your pressure
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, your pain, your pleasure
Under your pressure
I can feel the pressure
(Oh, your pain, your pleasure)
(I can feel the pressure)
[Chorus]
Press me, press me, press me harder
I can hardly breathe, but I love to feel the heat
When you press me, press me, press me harder
I can hardly speak, but I love the way it feels under your pressure
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, your pain, your pleasure
Under your pressure
I can feel the pressure
Under your pressure
Oh, your pain, your pleasure
Under your pressure
I can feel the pressure

In an Instagram post promoting the release of the song, Ivy explained:
‘Pressure’ comes from a place of feeling like the easy breezy shiny floors you’ve walked on your whole life fell through about a month ago. And you’ve been walking on new ground that is prickly and uncomfortable and is starting...
