Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I don't wanna talk right now, im kinda faded
No, I don't wanna love right now, im kinda jaded
Not sure if I could hold you down unless we're naked
Whispers sweet nothings in your ear
You don't wanna be let down, I can't help for the first time
You could either sink or drown when the tide is high
I'm still under construction yeah, yeah, yeah
I won't hold it against you if you don't wanna wait
(Pre-Chorus)
You're such a heavy load
I try to build you up
But you rather, you rather
Keep your pieces on the floor
What are we fighting for?
I'm starting to feel like you don't know me anymore
(Chorus)
And you're pulling me down
Pulling me down, yeah you're pulling me down
Pulling me down, you're pulling me down yeah
You're pulling me down
Pulling me down, yeah you're pulling me down
Pulling me down, you keep pulling me down, yeah
Oo oo oooooooo
Oo oo ooo
Oo oo oooooooo
Oo oo ooo
(Verse 2)
And I'm not tryna string you along until it's too late
No sense in pointing out who's wrong when we're both crazy
Not about what we want, but what's missing
I know the feeling, It's that kind of feeling
You don't wanna be alone, but you're lonely
Don't wanna be number one, wanna be the only
Yeah I know the feeling, but I just can't fulfill it
(Pre-Chorus)
You're such a heavy load
I try to build you up
But you rather, you rather
Keep your pieces on the floor
What are we fighting for?
I'm starting to feel like you don't know me anymore
(Chorus)
And you're pulling me down
Pulling me down, yeah you're pulling me down
Pulling me down, you're pulling me down yeah
You're pulling me down
Pulling me down, yeah you're pulling me down
Pulling me down, you keep pulling me down, yeah
Oo oo oooooooo
Oo oo ooo
Oo oo oooooooo
Oo oo ooo
