Losing My Mind

(Jes Perry)

Shouldn't look at you like a fence I can't climb over
Shouldn't think of you as a rule I can't break
Shouldn't love you as just a consequence of circumstance

But you're the chains that hold me bound
You're the prison guard that pushes me down
You're the safety net that stops my freedom flight
And keeps me safe on the ground
But I feel like I'm losing my mind

Shouldn't look at you like a stranger 'cross the street
Shouldn't think of you as an obstacle to overcome
Shouldn't love you just because it's what's expected

When you're the chains that hold me bound
You're the prison guard that pushes me down
You're the safety net that stops my freedom flight
And keeps me safe on the ground
But I feel like I'm losing my mind

After so many years I'm starting to divide things into his and hers
After all this time I'm labeling things that read mine and yours
And I can't put it down to an argument or cause
Maybe I'm just the selfish person you always said I was
You tell me I’m selfish but I’m just not in love…

Shouldn't hide my feelings and challenge you to read my mind
Shouldn't wish you'd change and tell myself you'll come around in time
Shouldn't bare my soul to strangers in a song

When you're the chains that hold me bound
You're the prison guard that pushes me down
You're the safety net that stops my freedom flight
And keeps me safe on the ground
But I feel like I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
Over you
