Time, that's 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

'Cos I can't can't get, get where I wanna
When you got me stuck in a corner
And you can't see, see what you're doing to me
Oh 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?
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's  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

'Cos I can't can't get, get where I wanna
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?
Suffocating me

You wanna hold me down
Try and put me in sad, afraid
You want me all stuck down here forever, ever
You try to 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

'Cos I can't can't get, get where I wanna
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?
Suffocating me
