Song Lyrics

I wouldn't mind if you told me I was wasting time



It's hard for me here trying to say these things with you so near
I'm already undone, already undone

Now is the time I should leave these useless things behind

But fool that I am, I try to stay inside of your latest plan


I'm already undone




This time I promised myself that I wouldn't sink so far
But here I am, I'm wrapped around you in the glow of this empty bar

I wish I could hold my tongue and finally say goodnight.



Am I holding on too tight?


Hours ago I could pride myself on some control
But plans that I've made disappear with every drink that's laid
I'm already undone, already undone




Yeah, there's a way but I can't even keep one single word I say

And I've been wrapped around your finger from the very first day
I wish my legs would work and I could run out in the night


Am I holding on too tight?



I wouldn't mind if you put me out of my hurt some time

I'm waving the flag, chasing beauty shouldn't be such a drag



I'm already undone, already undone


Now I am lost and I can't even feel my head
While you and all your friends are laughing about something you wish you'd said


Am I holding on too tight?

I wish I could just reach up and turn out every light.
Yes I know I'm holding on too tight.
