Messing You Up

from It's Real Now It Has a Name by Pearl Lee

/

lyrics

Far away from feeling the same
Words escape me now
Who’s to blame when the feeling fades
I’ve let you down

You pull me closer
But I'm pulling over
Gotta put a hold on this
You hold me tighter
While I’m trying to fight ya
No I don’t think this is it

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about us
‘Cause you keep missing me but I keep messing you up
And I don't know what to say when you tell me that you're in love
‘Cause you keep missing me but I keep messing you up

Seeing things much clearer today
You know we're not fine
Who’s to say that love don’t change
I’m losing time

We were floating once
But now we're going under
Both aboard this sinking ship
We’re taking water
When we cant afford to
No I must set you adrift

I keep trying to figure out how I feel about us
‘Cause you’re still breathing me in while I'm breathing you out
And I don't know what to say when you tell me that I’m enough
‘Cause you're still breathing me in while I'm breathing you out

You’re trying to hold on
But my feet are cold and
Our shoes don’t seem to fit
You're trying to save it
But I'm suffocating
Now I think it's time to quit

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about us
(Ooh, I’m still trying)
‘Cause you keep missing me but I keep messing you up
(I keep messing you up)
And I don't know what to say when you tell me that you're in love
(Oh, when you tell me)
‘Cause you keep missing me but I keep messing you up
Yeah you keep missing me but I keep messing you up
