Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m around you again
But I don't wanna see us breaking
Breaking us down
I′m on my bedroom floor
Wrapped up in a thousand thoughts
I don't know how long I can take it
It's tearing me down
I′m done with trying
To slowly find
A way we can reconcile
′Cause I've been losing too much sleep for you
Feel like a fool
Fighting ′bout nothing all the time
And I can't find peace of mind when I′m with you
What did we do
Fighting 'bout nothing all the time
I haven′t slept in days
So much that I wanna say
Is weighing me down but you don't hear me
Not hearing me out
Why did we lose so much
Of what I thought was a perfect love
Slammed your door in my face
You're kicking, kicking me out
I′m done with trying
To slowly find
A way we can reconcile
′Cause I've been losing too much sleep for you
Feel like a fool
Fighting ′bout nothing all the time
And I can't find peace of mind when I′m with you
What did we do
Fighting 'bout nothing all the time
You′re so hard to reach baby
I'm getting no sleep lately
I've been losing too much sleep for you
You′re so hard to reach baby
I′m getting no sleep lately
I've been losing too much sleep for you
I′ve been losing too much sleep for you
Feel like a fool
Fighting 'bout nothing all the time
And I can′t find peace of mind when I'm with you
What did we do
Fighting ′bout nothing all the time
I've been losing too much sleep for you
Feel like a fool
Fighting 'bout nothing all the time
And I can′t find peace of mind when I′m with you
What did we do
Fighting 'bout nothing all the time
You′re so hard to reach baby
I'm getting no sleep lately
I′ve been losing too much sleep for you
You're so hard to reach baby
I′m getting no sleep lately
I've been losing too much sleep for you
