I probably should have given up a long time ago,
after the fourth or fifth time you said we'll never be together.
But what did I go and do?
(Fall in love with you)

And I've been holding on for seven or eight months now
onto this foolish hope that you'll change your mind
Hey, maybe you'll love me back!
Maybe you just need some more time!?

But if you didn't love me then
and you don't love me now,
how long do I have to wait?
A year? Three? A thousand?

And I never can breathe when you're near
No, my breath gets stuck in my throat
and I've been dying (quite literally) to tell you I love you
but every time I try?
I suffocate. Constrict. Choke.

And I'm at quite a loss
I really am confused
because I'm miserable either way
(with or without you).
