Let you lay in it

Stuck in my mind
Flooded with emotions
Blurring the lines
In between your curse and the remedy
I've seen your worst and it cuts too deep
You're frozen
Stuck in my mind

Guess I made it up
Then I caught my reflection in your broken love
Did your arrogance
Save us both the embarrassment?

▼
But we both got issues that are unresolved
So we're making it
Bed of lies
Let you lay in it
One last time
Told you a secret that you couldn't keep
When I let you down, you'd hold it over me
Gave you leverage
Intertwined
So I severed it
Staring at the screen
When I should be asleep
I thought I let you go
Let me suffer in peace
Feels like you're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Flooded with emotions
Blurring the lines
In between your curse and the remedy
I've seen your worst and it cuts too deep
You're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Going insane chasing your spirit
Guess I made it up
Then I caught my reflection in your broken love
Did your arrogance
Save us both the embarrassment?
(Cold as ice)
I'm losing touch and
I'm finding something to cope with
But all I see is your body is feeling hopeless
Somebody save me from myself
Staring at the screen
When I should be asleep (ah-ah)
I thought I let you go
Let me suffer in peace
Feels like you're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Flooded with emotions
Blurring the lines
In between your curse and the remedy
I've seen your worst and it cuts too deep
You're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
I wish I were numb to you
Turning blue
I'm caught in the middle
'Cause you've overused my trust just a little
But you celebrate
A heart that breaks
Feels like you're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Flooded with emotions ('motions, m-m-m)
Feels like you're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Flooded with emotions
Blurring the lines
In between your curse and the remedy
I've seen your worst and it cuts too deep
You're frozen
Stuck in my mind
You're frozen (stuck in my mind)
You're frozen (stuck in my mind)
You're frozen
Stuck in my mind
