I used to feel fine enough
until you showed up
Standing at my door in the light of the morning
Carrying the last straw

Now there's nothing I can do to lose you
On like a tattoo
Following my instincts
Thinking all the worst things
I don't even want to but

I can't help it
Even though I know I should
I can't stand it
How I wish, I wish I could
Bringing up these old tears
Battling these old fears
I can't help it
These new anxieties

Take a breath in and out
Am I in control now?
Should be counting blessings
But I'm just obsessing
I gotta slow it down

Thought I'd be further than this
Had a great therapist
Days getting longer
Rooms getting smaller
The walls are closing in

I can't help it
Even though I know I should
I can't stand it
How I wish, I wish I could
Bringing up these old tears
Battling these old fears
I can't help it
These new anxieties

And I try
But it all goes by so fast in my mind
It multiplies

I can't help it
Even though I know I should
I can't stand it
How I wish, I wish I could
I can't break it
Caught up in a spell so clever
I can't shake it
Even though I should know better
Bringing up these old tears
Battling these old fears
I can't help it
These new anxieties
Bringing up these old tears
Battling these old fears
and new anxieties
