Buttons
Sia Lyrics

You got me pushing imaginary buttons
You have control over my emotions and are causing me to feel and react in ways that have no real basis.

Step away from me lover, away from me lover
I need distance from you to regain control and heal from the emotional turmoil you're causing me.

You got me counting imaginary school children
Your influence has me so disoriented that I'm obsessing over minor details that have no real consequence.

Get away from me lover, away from me lover
Your presence is only making things worse for me and I need you to leave me alone.

Yes, I can see that your carpet is animated
You may appear normal on the surface, but I can see that there is something off about you and it's unsettling me.

Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
I need you to leave my life completely, as your presence is causing me distress.

Yes, I see open wounds in everyone I've dated
My past relationships have left me with deep emotional scars that are now being reopened by my interactions with you.

Away from me lover, get away from me lover
I can't handle any more emotional turmoil and need you to stay away from me for my own well-being.

I am no good for you
I recognize that I am not in a healthy emotional state and that being with me could only cause you pain and suffering.

I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do
My past emotional trauma is haunting me and causing me to see emotional triggers and reminders in everyday situations.

You got me turning all the lights on and off
Your influence on my emotions is causing me to feel unsettled and anxious, manifesting as compulsive behavior.

When will you see that I am carrying this stuff?
You are oblivious to the emotional baggage that I am carrying and how it's affecting me in our interactions.

Can't you see that I am losing my marbles?
The emotional turmoil that you're causing is destabilizing my mental health, and it's clear that you don't see or care about the impact you're having on me.

It's marvelous losing another, losing another
As much as I want to rid myself of your influence, it's still painful to admit that losing a relationship is a loss and something that I am struggling with.

Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
I'm imploring you to leave me alone and walk away from this relationship, as I need to focus on my own emotional well-being.

Get away from me lover, away from me lover
Your presence is causing me turmoil and I need you to remove yourself from my life for my own emotional health.

Step away from me lover, away from me lover
I can't handle any more emotional stress and need you to take a step back from our relationship for my own well-being.

Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
I need you to completely remove yourself from my life, as you are causing me too much emotional distress.
