I'm playing cool and swell But I've been through all hell Trying to make a break, think And then forget about it Better if it rings out I'm acting through it all
[Chorus] Making up excuses Running from your eyes Drowning in your side Flooded in our blood Underneath your water Bound and gagged, I fight Gotta get undone Cause I don't want to break I don't want to fake I don't want to break I don't want to fake I just want to get out
It's closing in somehow Pressed up against me now Get under my skin, take A knife and cut it out I just want to get it out The walls have closed somehow
[Chorus] Making up excuses Running from your eyes Drowning in your side Flooded in our blood Underneath your water Bound and gagged, I fight Gotta get undone Cause I don't want to break I don't want to fake I don't want to break I don't want to fake I just want to get out I don't want to break I don't want to fake I don't want to break I just want to get out
Turning blue and no surprise I'm not breathing when I'm not inspired
[Chorus] Making up excuses Running from your eyes Drowning in your side Flooded in our blood Underneath your water Bound and gagged, I fight Gotta get undone Cause I don't want to break I don't want to fake I just want to get out I don't want to break I don't want to fake I just want to get out I don't want to break I don't want to fake I don't want to break I just want to get out
