[Intro]
Are you still treadin' water?
And tellin' yourself that this is no way to live
Either way I won't bother
You're out of the hell that I was keepin' you in
[Verse 1]
My head starts ringin' you haunt me it's a curse
No, I can't get away from your sound
My heart stopped beatin', I guess the lessons learnt
All but dead but I'm still callin' you out (Still callin' you out)
Can you hear me? Am I speaking clearly?
Or am I just making noise? (Or am I just making noise?)
Can you see me? Baby I'm still seethin'
I know I seem so annoyed, I'm just so over this
[Chorus]
I bit my tongue and put your picture in the back of my head
Was I in love or was it just another thing I said?
I had to run away to keep myself from runnin' to you
I'll make it through, just without you
[Bridge]
Can you get out of my dreams? Or maybe stay for awhile
For you there's no in-between, I love and hate you for now (Love and hate you)
I should get a grip I'm gettin' over it, I've been a mess for way too long
Keep my head down, give it a rest now, I just thought you should know
[Chorus]
I bit my tongue and put your picture in the back of my head
Was I in love or was it just another thing I said?
I had to run away to keep myself from runnin' to you
I'll make it through, just without you
I fall asleep and everything goes right back just how it was
I try to make it last forever but it never does
I had to run away to keep myself from runnin' to you
I'll make it through, just without you
[Bridge]
Baby I'll see you around, you know I've been fallin' down
I pulled a lot from the shelf (I pulled a lot from the shelf)
I heard you got somethin' now, I hope it's all workin' out
I like to lie to myself, I'm so over this
[Chorus]
I bit my tongue and put your picture in the back of my head
Was I in love or was it just another thing I said?
I had to run away to keep myself from runnin' to you
I'll make it through, just without you
I fall asleep and everything goes right back just how it was
I try to make it last forever but it never does
I had to run away to keep myself from runnin' to you
I'll make it through, just without you
[Outro]
Without you, I had to keep myself from runnin to you
Without you, I had to keep myself from runnin to you
