Vertigo
Ed & Denyze Alleyne-Johnson Lyrics

You had me
You had my attention, you had control over me

And you can call it what you want
You can define our relationship however you like

But it won’t catch me
But I won't let myself be fooled or trapped

So I’ve fallen through the ground
So I've hit rock bottom

This can’t be happening
I can't believe this is real

Crashed through the air
Fell uncontrollably and unexpectedly

With bloodshot eyes from the caffeine
My eyes are red and tired from excessive consumption of caffeine

Lying on your side, falling up into the sky
Being in a vulnerable position, feeling like I'm floating in the sky

And we should both be doing time
We should both face consequences for our actions

For all the time we killed those nights
For wasting all those nights

With red wine lips
Drinking red wine excessively

You read my lips
You understood what I was saying without me saying it explicitly

You called my bluff
You exposed my deception

So I called it quits
So I decided to end the relationship

And all along to find
Throughout the whole journey to discover

I tried
I made an effort

You tried
You also made an effort

And I called a hundred times
I tried to reach out to you numerous times

To no reply I won’t look down
Without receiving any response, I refuse to be disheartened

Where are you now
I wonder where you are at this moment

I’m here with you
I'm still present and emotionally connected to you

To no reply, alone, alone
Without any response, feeling isolated and lonely

They are to me
They mean to me

What I am to you
Just as I am important to you

So call it off, you got a longer way to go
End this relationship, you have a difficult path ahead

Than you thought you had
More challenging than you anticipated

Call it all a superstition
Consider everything we had as mere superstition

Paranoia’s a curse to have
Being paranoid is a debilitating curse

With a background like that
Considering our past experiences

Coloured in red
Filled with intense emotions, often negative

I cut it out
I removed myself from that situation

You’re over dressed and committed now
You are excessively involved and invested in this

You over think it
You analyze it too much

And dumb it down enough
And simplify it so I can understand

So I understand now
So now I comprehend

That we should both be doing time
That we both deserve punishment

For all the time we killed those nights
For wasting so many nights

With red wine lips
Drinking excessively and intoxication

You read my lips
You understood my intentions without me saying them

You called my bluff
You recognized my deception

So I called it
So I terminated it

And all along to find
Throughout the entire process of discovering

I tried
I made an effort

You tried
You also made an effort

And I called a hundred times
I attempted to contact you numerous times

To no reply I won’t look down
Without receiving any response, I won't lose hope

Where are you now
I wonder where you are at this moment

I’m here with you
I'm still emotionally connected to you

To no reply, alone, alone
Without any response, feeling isolated and lonely

They are to me
They mean to me

What I am to you
Just as I am important to you
