Lyrics
and it's happening
never planned on this
you got something i need
kind of dangerous
and i'm losing control
i'm not used to this
what you want from me?
i'm not used to this
i can't shut it off
this thing i've begun
and it's hard to tell—just
where it's coming from
and it's hard to see
what i'm capable of
and it's hard to believe—just
what i've become

hey
can we stop?
me, i'm not

i can swallow it down
keep it all inside
i define myself
by how well i hide
feel it coming apart
well at least i tried
i can win this war
by knowing not to fight
if i take it all back
some way somehow
if i knew back then
what i know right now

hey
can we stop?
me, i'm not
