Fixation - Emma Blackery

I couldn’t feel

Any more trapped than I already do

Stuck inside

Stuck inside this state of mind with you

And yet you only smile like I’m your friend

For now my happiness depends on how well I pretend

Can we forget

That we are bound by all these ropes and strings

That tie up like this

And when we wake up

We can go back to the world that only wants us to be friends

And I hope that when I sing you’re looking up at me

So you can see my eyes are filled with hope for what could be

I know I’m bound to this fixation

For as long as I stay here

Sometimes I wish I could just leave

So you can come running after me

And the perfect world we’re after

Always seems to disappear

I wish that we could find a way

To make it out of here

But that would mean that all we’ve done would simply go to waste

I’m trying to convince myself we’re better off this way

Because you only smile like I’m your friend

I wish someone would shake this out of me or shake it into you

I know I’m bound to this fixation

For as long as I stay here

Sometimes I wish I could just leave

So you can come running after me

And the perfect world we’re after

Always seems to disappear

I wish that we could find a way

To make it out of here

And yet you only smile like I’m your friend

For now my happiness depends on how well I pretend
