Suffocating

We're still holding back Lashed out and attacked We buried the hatchet By plunging it deep in our backs The baggage is packed Light shines through the cracks We buried the hatchet By plunging it deep in our backs We took a chance and we wondered if we loved ourselves I chose your heart over oxygen We'll take a breath and we'll wait until We're suffocating Our love left constantly waiting And now we're going back and forth, convictions enforced We've been here before Holding our hope for something more The damage was done We loaded our guns With trauma and wounding That left us stunned And we bled out together We dragged ourselves deeper Then acted as anchors Short roped, kept us under With no air left to breath in We lashed out at each other We clung onto the dream tight And we drowned one another We took a chance and we wondered if we loved ourselves I chose your heart over oxygen We'll take a breath and we'll wait until Something gets better Keep every letter Never stop writing (Now that we both know) It's all in the timing (We both know) If staying means dying We both know We're suffocating (our love) Our love left constantly waiting And now we're going back and forth, convictions enforced We've been here before Holding our hope for something more We're suffocating (our love) Our love left constantly waiting And now we're dragging up the past We burned out and we crashed We buried the hatchet By plunging it deep in our backs Carry hope I'll bear it as a torch A lighthouse guiding us to shore Maybe we'll see each other On the other side
