lyrics

CRUSHING MY SOUL

Maybe I just need a / focus that isn’t emotion
All of my fears are / just steadily crushing my soul
Every time we touch / I get chills in my spine
What can I do / when I kill everything that I love?

I get the sense / that I’m freaking you out
You’re scared to see me / and I’m having doubts
I didn’t hear from you / I think the worst
Starting to feel like I’m cursed

I’m way too good at / falling in love
I might be wrong / thinking you’ve had enough
I’m way too much and / I can’t stand myself
Cant help but / want all of your love

Maybe I just need a / focus that isn’t emotion
All of my fears are / just steadily crushing my soul
Every time we touch / I get chills in my spine
What can I do / when I kill everything that I love?

All of my efforts / are killing the game
I lost my motive / when you looked away
I don’t believe / anything ever stays
I think that glimmer / is starting to fade

I got a feelin / this ain’t working out
I’ll pull away / before you turn me down
I won’t be hurt / if I run for it now
I won’t be left if I kill it myself

Maybe I just need a / focus that isn’t emotion
All of my fears are / just steadily crushing my soul
Every time we touch / I get chills in my spine
What can I do / when I kill everything that I love?

Maybe I just need a / focus that isn’t emotion
All of my fears are / just steadily crushing my soul
Every time we touch / I get chills in my spine
What can I do / when I kill everything that I love?
