There’s something wrong with me
I haven’t been myself for days 
and I haven’t slept well 
all because of you

I want to stop thinking about you
but my mind is consumed with thoughts of you

I see you everywhere
when I’m busy
and when I’m idle
and I don’t know how to shake it off

I want to stop thinking about you
but I can’t stop thinking about you

I need to live my life 
like I did before you came into it
I know this doesn’t make sense
yet I’ve already imagined a lifetime with you

I want to stop thinking about you
but I’m stuck on you

I know this isn’t healthy 
and I’ve tried to forget you 
but I have been unsuccessful
and I’m tired of trying

I can’t stop thinking about you
and I’m scared to let you know
