Your records, my empty house

I wish I knew what you were feeling

Fighting every instinct while you hold your pride (pride)

Back to the beginning, it swallows my mind

You're all that I think about

I even see you when I'm dreaming

I wish that I could hate you, my baby

I wish that when I left, you'd've chased me

I didn't wanna change but you made me

Now you're telling all your friends that I'm crazy

Hard to believe that you ever really loved me

I know I'll be movin' on in slow motion

I've never been good with words

But you didn't try to listen

Could call but I won't be the first

I need you more when you are not around, not around

I think I want you more than I need ya

Avoid the places I see ya

Killing me slow, killing me slowly
