lyrics

I’m climbng up the wall it’s what I do it is not my fault
My mind ran wild when I couldn’t reach you
It’s twenty after one I sure do hope you had fun
While I’ve been sitting here going crazy

Never mind the texts and the thirty-four calls
And disregard the bottle on the bedroom floor
You think it’s such a problem that I don’t stay calm like they do
Like they do

Oh no there I go again boy you got me seeing red
And I can’t blame you when you go ‘cause I lose all self-control
Though it’s not an easy ride I promise I’ll be good next time
‘cause I’m feeling like I pushed you to the ceiling

The silence is so loud in here cuts through the air razor clear
It’s like the walls are caving in on me
I know you’ve had enough if I could find a way to stop
Life for you and me would be easy

Hurt people hurt people endlessly
And when I don’t feel safe I will fight for me
Even if that means that I won’t make nice like they do
Like they do

I know I go too far
But I’m trying hard to be the girl you love
I forget myself and I scream and yell
No one can put me out when I’m this fired up
