I should write up a list of things

Keep it next to my phone

So that, when it rings

Ignore when you're messaging

I tend to forget the pain that you bring

I shouldn't even think about it

My instinct betrays my memories

Like drugs you've become a habit

I hit and regret the feeling

You know exactly how to hurt me

Each time

You know exactly how to hurt me

Each time, time, time, time

Take off these handcuffs and let me be

I know you enjoy possessing power to set me free

You torture me with the key

Swing that shit back and forth, hypnotizing me

Get dizzy just thinking about it

I give up and just fall right to my knees

The suffering's automatic

As soon as your name pops on my screen

You know exactly how to hurt me

Each time

You know exactly how to hurt me

Each time, time

I knew I hadn't heard from you in quite a while

I figured you learned, you'd grown some sense

But I was in denial

I dream of moving on through life with our love behind

I think you've got some other plans on your mind

Why won't you let me be?

Baby, tell me, why won't you let me be?

Baby, tell me, why won't you let me be?

Baby

Hey, let me be
