Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I cannot take this anymore

I'm saying everything I've said before

All these words they make no sense

I found bliss in ignorance

Less I hear the less you say

You'll find that out anyway

[PreChorus]

Just like before

[Chorus]

(Everything you say to me) Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break (I need a little room to breathe)

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

I'm about to break

[Verse 2]

I find the answers aren't so clear

Wish I could find a way to disappear

All these thoughts they make no sense

I found bliss in ignorance

Nothing seems to go away

Over and over again

[PreChorus]

Just like before

[Chorus]

(Everything you say to me) Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break (I need a little room to breathe)

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

I'm about to break

[Chorus]

(Everything you say to me) Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break (I need a little room to breathe)

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to

Break

[Bridge]

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up

I'm about to break

[Chorus]

(Everything you say to me) Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break (I need a little room to breathe)

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

I'm about to break

[Outro]

(Everything you say to me) Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break (I need a little room to breathe)

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to

Break
