Your name's been caught up in my mind
It takes me back to simpler times
I'd draw in class to pass the time
When your name didn't accompany
Such fear and anxiety
When I thought we were meant to be
And now
Why can't we be
Everything we used to be, you
Mean the world to me
Now
Why can't you see
That I am struggling to
Give you everything that you need
You used to love me for being me
And my weird personality
Now you just can't let me be
We used to be so happy
But now you make me feel crappy
When I'm just trying to be me
And now
Why can't we be
Everything we used to be, you
Mean the world to me
Now
Why can't you see
That I am struggling to
Give you everything that you need
(Why can't you see)
(Why can't you see)
Now your list of needs is
Piling up on me and
I can't breathe
Now your list of needs is
Piling up on me and
I can't breathe
Now your list of needs is
Piling up on me and
I can't breathe
Now your list of needs is
Piling up on me and
I can't breathe
And now
Why can't we be
Everything we used to be, you
Mean the world to me
Now (your list of needs)
Why can't you see (is piling up on me)
That I am struggling (and I can't breathe)
To give you everything that you need
