Tata Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time suffocate all I need away from you
So why
Do you tie me in a knot I can't undo
You're holding me so tight
As if I'm leaving you tonight
Just try to let you know
That it's all got too much for me
Cause I can't can't get where I want to
When you got me stuck in a corner
And you can't see see what you're doing to me
Baby I need a room to breathe

I can't feel what I outta
When you hold me under the water
No I can't breathe
Why can't you see
That you're suffocating me
Yeah yeah eh oh o
Suffocating me

What do you want from me
How can I give you more
When you strangle my emotion
Insecurity's shutting every door that is open

I can feel it when you hold me
That you're trying to control me
I try to walk away but I can't move
When your nails are in my feet

Cause I can't can't get where I want to
When you got me stuck in a corner
And you can't see see what you're doing to me
Baby I need a room to breathe

I can't feel what I outta
When you hold me under the water
No I can't breathe
Why can't you see
That you're suffocating me
Yeah yeah eh oh o
Suffocating me (ha)

You wanna hold me down (hold me down)
Try and put me in sad afraid
And want me all stuck
Down here forever ever

You try to bring me down (bring me down)
And tell me that I'm to blame
It's all too much to take
It's never gonna be the same

Cause I can't can't get where I want to (can't get)
When you got me stuck in a corner (got me stuck)
And you can't see see what you're doing to me (doing to me)
Baby I need a room to breath

I can't feel what I outta (I can't)
When you hold me under the water
No I can't breathe
Why can't you see
That you're suffocating me




Yeah yeah eh oh o
Suffocating me (ha)
