Feelings

I walk through this world, just tryna be nice
They say I'll get hurt, if I'm not like ice
I know I've got friends, I still get so lonely
If I look in your eyes, I’ll want you to hold me

I'm sorry that I care, care
I'm sorry that I care, care
It's really not that fair, fair
I can't help but care

I over-communicate and feel too much
I just complicate it when I say too much
I laugh about it, dream about that casual touch
Sex, fire, sick and tired of acting all tough

I'm hooked on all these feelings
I know exactly what I'm feelin'
This love asylum, like an island, just me and you
You spent the night, you got me high
Oh, what did you do?
I'm hooked on all these feelings

Caught up inside, both happy and lonely
Keep telling me lies, they're killing me slowly
I get too attached, they don't even know me
Why can't I relax? Why can't I relax?

I'm sorry that I care, care
I'm sorry that I care, care
It's really not that fair, fair
I can't help but care

I over-communicate and feel too much
I just complicate it when I say too much
I laugh about it, dream about that casual touch
Sex, fire, sick and tired of acting all tough

I'm hooked on all these feelings
I know exactly what I'm feelin'
This love asylum, like an island, just me and you
You spent the night, you got me high
Oh, what did you do?
I'm hooked on all these feelings

I know exactly what I'm feelin'
I'm sorry that I care, care
It's really not that fair

I over-communicate and feel too much
I just complicate it when I say too much
I laugh about it, dream about that casual touch
Sex, fire, sick and tired of acting all tough

I'm hooked on all these feelings
I know exactly what I'm feelin'
This love asylum, like an island, just me and you
You spent the night, you got me high
Oh, what did you do?
I'm hooked on all these feelings
