lyrics

I want to lose you today
pump you with air and watch you blow away
I'm tired of love, I love you too much
but here in this moment, loving you sucks

a drip of the faucet, a steep waterfall
there's too much too fast or nothing at all

I can't get through to you
you're preaching like a prophet
dooming all the fun
screaming like a mad man, pushing 'til you win
the more you're pushing out, the less you're letting in
I have had enough of this
white noise static coming from your lips
Why don't you shut up
and let me love you?

Try not to feel what you said
give it a moment, give it a rest

I've never been good at walking away
but I deserve more than to love you today

I can't get through to you
You're preaching like a prophet
picking at my sins
pointing like a moonbeam raging at the sea
caught up in a wave that's crashing over me
Here i am still playing my role
a lonely body and a cluttered soul
It's time to shut up
and let me love you

here we go again
here we go again...

Why don't you shut up
and let me love you?
