This is going nowhere, there’s no easy way to say it
You think you know best, so I’ll lay my cards:
You just slow us down
I feel stifled and shut down
And I can’t see the light

It’s like you’re trying to find out my weakness
Spreading rumours, untruths and deceit
I can handle the heat but won’t promise
That I won’t get weighed down

I just want to breathe again
Without your hands wrapped around my neck
If you captain this ship throw me off the edge
You know I wish it was over my head

Considered no one but to salvage yourself
Careless, conceited and bad for my health

But you always have better plans
(I’m sick of all your noise)
And I can’t stand to let you down
(But I can’t do this anymore)

I just want to breathe again
Without your hands wrapped around my neck
If you captain this ship throw me off the edge
You know I wish it was over my head

Save the pretence you know we’re already too far gone in this mess
You thought you were everything but you deserve nothing more than your guilt and loneliness

I heard you say it was nothing
Well you lied through your teeth

I just want to breathe again
Without your hands wrapped around my neck
If you captain this ship throw me off the edge
You know I wish it was over my head
