Song Lyrics

When I stand in a crowded room
I feel alone like nobody's there
And when u speak so cold to me
I can see your breath in the air
It's taking it's toll on me
In the bathroom taking showers
So u don't see me cry
Baby it's such a crime
I've tried to feel confident
I'm bitter, you're not making sense
I missed you till you almost took
My sanity, I'm starting a new verse

[Chorus]
You're like poetry
Hiding behind the words you speak
Changing the words of the story
You say you don't love me
Then say that you love me
I'm fighting
You're hiding behind the words
You're speaking
Changing the words
I'm lost in the verse
You say you don't love me
Then say that you love me
Why are you hiding?

When I give you gratitude
You act like you don't hear me speak
And when I tell you what you do to me
You don't even hear the truth
What are you trying to prove?
I stare out the window for hours
Cause you won't listen to me
You won't even look in my eyes
I've tried to feel confident
I'm bitter, you're not making sense
I missed you till you almost took
My sanity, I'm starting a new verse

[Chorus]

Don't believe what you're saying
I read your face and I'm blanking
Cause I don't know what's in front of my face
I try to feel confident
I've tried to feel confident
I'm bitter, you're not making sense
I missed you till you almost took
My sanity
Oh oh oh o-oh (four times)
I'm starting a new verse like

You're like poetry
Hiding behind the words you speak
Changing the words of the story
You say you don't love me
Then say that you love me
I'm fighting

You're like poetry
Hiding behind the words you speak
Changing the words of the story
You say you don't love me
Then say that you love me
I'm fighting

[Chorus]
