Caught In The Middle

Cold words hanging in the air,

(don't say it… don't say it…)

One little thing and suddenly we're there.

Another night, another fight,

(here we go…)

Trying to remember when we stopped getting it right.

You turn the room into a battlefield,

And I don't know how I'm supposed to feel.

I reach for you, you pull away,

Then somehow I'm the one who has to explain.

You build your walls, I lose my ground,

Every word gets turned around.

I bite my tongue until it hurts,

Trying not to make things worse.

(don't make it worse…)

We're talking in circles,

Going nowhere again,

I say what I mean,

You hear something else instead.

And somewhere between us

The truth disappears,

(where did it go?)

And I'm left standing here.

We're caught in the middle of a storm,

Breaking everything we had before.

You pull me close, then push me away,

And I don't know what I'm supposed to say.

We're standing on opposite sides,

Saying things we don't mean tonight.

You tell me we're fine, but I don't feel fine,

How did something I loved become something I fear?

(don't let go… don't let go…)

Your words hit harder than they should,

And I keep wishing I could make things good.

You light the fuse, then blame the flame,

And somehow I'm apologising again.

I keep looking for the boy I knew,

The one who made me feel safe with you.

I reach for that version of us,

But I can't seem to find where it went.

(I'm still here…)

We're talking in circles,

Lost inside the noise,

I raise my voice,

Then I lose mine.

The room keeps spinning,

I don't know what to say,

I just want this fight

To go away.

We're caught in the middle of a storm,

Breaking everything we had before.

You pull me close, then push me away,

And I don't know what I'm supposed to say.

We're standing on opposite sides,

Saying things we don't mean tonight.

You tell me we're fine, but I don't feel fine,

How did something I loved become something I fear?

(something's wrong…)

Maybe love isn't meant to feel like this,

Maybe I shouldn't be scared of every little thing.

Maybe I shouldn't have to disappear

Just to keep you wanting me here.

You keep reaching for the pieces,

Then breaking them again.

I keep saying we'll be okay,

Even when I don't believe it.

(I'm so tired…)

We're caught in the middle of a storm,

And I don't know what we're fighting for.

You pull me close, I lose my way,

Then I wake up wishing I could change.

We're standing on opposite sides,

Watching everything fall apart.

You say we're fine, but I don't feel fine,

And I don't know when we got this far.

(before they show…)

Cold words fading in the air,

(don't say it…)

Another fight, another tear.

We're still standing in the same room,

But somehow you're so far from me.

(so far…)

And I don't know how to get back.
