Tug of War

sometimes

i find it hard to breathe

i’m standing up but i feel like i’m on my knees

some days

you’re all i think about

my heart is on fire oh but i’m all burnt out

i’ve cried in the kitchen i’ve cried on the stairs and the bathroom floor

and i love the life that i lead but then suddenly i’m unsure

it’s a tug of war

sometimes

i see a stranger smile

and forget that you’re gone for a little while

and one day

i’ll will have made my peace

with spending every moment in agony

i’m tired of this feeling i’m trapped in the ceiling and corridors

i ask all my friends for advice and they try but they’re still unsure

it’s a tug of war

i love you forever i love you whenever you cross my mind

as long as you’re there in my head then you’ll never be left behind

it’s a tug of war

sometimes
