I can’t breathe, you’re smothering me
What you call love feels like drowning to me
I’m only human, I love the attention
But at times it’s too much for me
I never thought that I would say this
I love when the spotlight shines down
And I love that I’m your focus

But I can’t breathe, you’re smothering me
What you call love is suffocating me
You’re like a weighted blanket
Pushing down on me
Forcing me to cater to your every need
I can’t do this anymore
It’s too much, more than I can bear
We’re not good for each other
Only bringing out the worst in each other

I can’t breathe, you’re smothering me
Forcing my head down under the water
But I’m also no good on my own
I’m dysfunctional when I’m alone
It’s hard for me to pick my head up and move on
It’s hard for me to make decisions on my own
I need you by my side
With you I’m able to survive
But I want more than that
I want to be able to thrive

But I can’t breathe, you’re smothering me
What you call love is drowning me
I feel that I’m not my own
We’ve found a new identity as one
I thought that it was what I wanted
But they say to be careful what you wish for
I should’ve listened, but it’s over and done
I can’t breathe, you’re smothering me
Unfortunately for me, that’s how it’ll be for eternity
