I said that I would never hurt you
If I could take it back you know I would
'Cause I tried and tried
But it's killing me inside
And I just can't close the door
All I want is everything you are now

'Cause I can't breathe you out
Though I tried I don't know how
You're under my skin
Turning my world over and over

Wish I could give you what you wanted
But I could feel the pressure building and I had to run
I should have stayed
I learned my lesson well now

'Cause I can't breathe you out
Though I tried I don't know how
You're under my skin
Turning my world over and over
'Cause I can't breathe you out
Though I tried I don't know how
You're under my skin
Pulling my strings
Over and over

You wanted the picture perfect life
I just needed some time to realise
I'm the man, I can be the man
that you wanted me to be oh

I can't breathe you out
Though I tried I don't know how
You're under my skin
Turning my world over and over
'Cause I can't breathe you out
Though I tried I don't know how
You're under my skin
Pulling my strings
Over and over

You're under my skin
Pulling my strings
Over and over
