about

Written to shine a spotlight on my own insecurity in relationships, and the dark and selfish thoughts that have destroyed them.

lyrics

I forced your hand. You had to fold.
I tried to force a reaction. I lost control.
I'd created a fixture for you in my mind.
But, I couldn't get you to fit the mold this time.

I was certain I was loving you.
I was in love with the idea.
I was so sure that I'd be strong and true,
But I gave into the fear.
I think a part of me wants you to feel like you're nothing without me.
I need someone so co-dependent that they never wanna leave.
I wanna get you all alone so you don't want nobody else.
Make you believe a life without me would just be a living hell.
I'm still so caught up in myself.
I'm still so caught up in myself.

The cycle made its rounds with a quickness.
And I know that I probably shouldn't hit this.
But maybe it has helped me to bear witness, or forget this.
But I'd be lying if I said I get this.

I was certain I was loving you.
I was in love with the idea.
I was so sure that I'd be strong and true,
But I gave into the fear.
I think a part of me wants you to feel like you're nothing without me.
I need someone so co-dependent that they never wanna leave.
I wanna get you all alone so you don't want nobody else.
Make you believe a life without me would just be a living hell.
I'm still so caught up in myself.
Oh, Lord.
I'm still so caught up in myself.
I'm still so caught up in myself.
Oh, Lord.
I'm still so caught up in myself.

This time around hurt just as bad.
And I somehow got this idea in my head
That I was under attack.
My paranoid ego is fighting back.

I was certain I was loving you.
I was in love with the idea.
I was so sure that I'd be strong and true,
But I gave into the fear.
I think a part of me wants you to feel like you're nothing without me.
I need someone so co-dependent that they never wanna leave.
I wanna get you all alone so you don't want nobody else.
Make you believe a life without me would just be a living hell.
I'm still so caught up in myself.
Oh, Lord.
I'm still so caught up in myself.
I'm still so caught up in my--caught up in myself.
I'm still so caught up in myself.
