Lyrics[]

I said too much, said the wrong thing Remembering the image I was trying to project to you Cast an illusion, think I'm losing my head Sometimes I feel Be what you want, I can be what you want Be what you want, I can be what you want Be what you want, I can be what you want Be what you want, I can be what you want

I don't know you now But I'm lying here, somehow

I feel sick I'm drowning in the pit of my stomach Oh I know it's my fault While you're busy diving I find I feel alone (feel alone, feel alone, feel alone..) Feel a little out of my mind (feel alone, feel alone, feel alone..)

Oh I'm stuck, I've said too much I'm going mad Checking checking waiting For some kind of response from you Let me know I haven't opened up The floodgates again, to another man Who controls the pain and never says anything Anything Anything

I don't owe you much (I can't be what you want, I can't be what you want) But I miss you so (I can't be what you want, I can't be what you want) I miss him (Missing you, missing you, missing you , I can't be what you want, I can't be what you want)

I feel sick I'm drowning in the pit of my stomach You don't know that I'm caught Thinking you remind me of someone I can't face no more I've gotta get him out of my mind

While you're busy diving down I find I feel alone I feel alone I've gotta get him out of mind While you're busy diving down I find I feel alone I feel alone

I feel alone
