Automatic Love

Baby, please
Don't leave it up to me
Can't you see
It's getting hard to breathe

Look at me
I'm tearing at the seams
And you can't see
That you're losing me

And you're wrapping your arms around me
But we've both got blades in our hands
Watching the flames get higher
Everytime I go

Walking ourselves through a graveyard
Just talking about how the weather's nice
Watching the chains get tighter
Every time you go

You love me with a broken heart
You touch me and I fall apart
And we end up back right where we started from

We do all the things we know we should
'Cause everything is always good
We push it down in this automatic love

Losing sleep and my priorities
'Cause I can't keep all these promises
Watch you bleed out insecurity
So you can't see
That you're hurting me

You won't say that you're sorry
But we both got blood on our hands
Telling ourselves it's alright
But we're so alone

Waiting 'til we hit the pavement
But we're already black and blue
And I'm standing right in front of you
But I'm still alone

You love me with a broken heart
You like it when I fall apart
So you can put me back together again

We do all the things we know we should
'Cause everything is always good
We push it down in this automatic love

Automatic love
Oh, this tragic love
Can't get past it, no
In this automatic love

And we're screaming under our breaths
Don't know how to let it show
It's all right under the surface
Ready to explode

We're burning in the fire
But I don't wanna be the one
To pull out all the wires
Of this automatic love
