Kryptonite
Matt Easton Lyrics

I thought I was strong, I thought I was tough
I believed I was mentally tough and could withstand anything life threw my way.

But I guess I was wrong, cause I was broke by your touch
But after encountering you, I realized that I was mistaken, as your mere touch and presence shattered me.

I've never been afraid of heights, cause I've never fallen
I used to believe that I was fearless and invincible, having never experienced failure or heartbreak.

But you made me fall so hard, I hit the ground and now I'm crawling
However, you caused me to fall harder than I could have ever imagined, leaving me struggling and vulnerable.

When you're near I'm stuck on my knees, like I've been struck down I'm so weak
Whenever you are close to me, I feel powerless and weak, as if I have been knocked down to the ground.

I can only stand up when you're not around, cause you lift me off my feet
I can only feel strong and confident when you are absent, as your very presence causes me to lose control and become overly emotional.

And your face is all I see, your aroma is all I breathe
Your image and scent dominate my thoughts and senses, leaving me completely mesmerized by you.

You take me underneath, your spell and leave me diseased
You cast a powerful spell over me, leaving me afflicted and consumed by your influence.

I'm stronger the farther apart, getting weaker the closer you are
I feel more confident and composed when we are separated, but crumble and fall apart when we are close.

You're my light but I want the darkness, cause I don't want to see you make me heartless
You bring light and happiness into my life, but at the same time, I am afraid of losing myself to you and becoming numb.

You just reach in there and rip it out my fucking chest
You effortlessly find and pull out my deepest emotions, leaving me exposed and vulnerable.

I'm obsessed with you when you're around, I be down on the ground in a goddamn mess
When you are with me, I become fixated on you, and my emotions become too intense for me to handle, leaving me in a state of emotional chaos.

You're making me feel like a grade school girl, by the way I'm crushing, rushing to you
You make me feel childish and naive, as my crush on you consumes my every thought and move.

Blushing thinking to something to say, but out comes nothing... Nothing
I become so nervous and flustered around you that I struggle to come up with anything to say, leaving me quiet and embarrassed.

Whenever you're close to me, I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Whenever we are in proximity, I am lost and unsure of how to act or what to say.

I don't know what I'm supposed to be
I struggle to maintain my sense of self and identity when I am near you, as everything becomes about pleasing you.

A bitter sweet, filled with heat and my heart just beat
My feelings toward you are conflicted and complicated, as they are both joyful and painful at the same time.

Beat so strong, but I feel so weak
My heart beats fast in your presence, yet my emotional state becomes weak and fragile.

Feel so beat, so fatigued
I feel drained and exhausted from being consumed by thoughts of you.

Tired from all these things I've seen
I am worn out from witnessing all the ways you have affected me, both positively and negatively.

All the same dreams and they never come true
Despite my desires and aspirations, they never come to fruition, making me feel hopeless and lost.

So much pain when I think of you
Thoughts of you bring me immense pain and distress.

This battle, ain't subtle
My internal conflict and emotional turmoil are far from unnoticeable or insignificant.

I can't handle, this struggle
I am struggling to deal with my overwhelming and confusing emotions.

I've had enough, of this puzzle
I am tired of trying to make sense of and solve this intricate and complex emotional puzzle.

Now I'm just a mold with no muscle
As a result of being consumed by you, I feel like a weak and powerless shell of my former self.

I don't know why, but every time, you come around I lose control
I am unable to explain why, but every time you are near me, I lose my composure and become powerless to your influence.

Gradually, you cripple me, until my whole backbone goes
Over time, your influence on me becomes so overpowering that it destroys my strength and leaves me entirely weak and vulnerable.
