Breathing
Gets so hard when you're around me
Breathing
Gets so hard when you're around me

Thought my plan was foolproof
You were an outlier
A statistical exception to my life as an outsider
Spent all my time on building my armor
Your arrow and quiver
Guess I'll die a martyr

An oblivious archer you're
Making it harder for
Me to convince myself of my nonexistent ardor

I wasn't where you were aiming
Just caught in your crossfire
You didn't see the trail of blood
You didn't see that

Breathing
Gets so hard when you're around me
Breathing
Gets so hard when you're around me

Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Breathing, breathing
Breathing, breathing
Breathing

Just step over my body
You already shot me
And now you're standing here
Filling my wound with sodium chloride

It's alright
It's ok
You weren't looking my way
I'd rather die with my honor than take this
Farther than it's gone

But I never was an option, was I?
Uncharted territory, proceed with caution, 'cause I
I'm just a fantasy, Mariah, trying to emancipate me me
But I'm just a pariah

A fake
A travesty of my own design
Wish on a star that we're compatible but the
Planets don't align

I wasn't where you were aiming
Just caught in your crossfire
You didn't see the trail of blood
You didn't see that

Breathing
Gets so hard when you're around me
Breathing
Gets so hard when you're around me
