I can't help but feel that you don't understand
Oh, and do I love you? Yes I do, but I love my own life too
On second thought I think I'll take the time
Tighter you hold on, more that it's feeling like quicksand
Now you're holding too tight to my heart
I feel I'm going down for the last time
As I lay here holding your hand
It's gonna burst and leave an empty space, yeah ya
Tighter you hold on, more that it's feeling like quicksand, quicksand
Do I love you? Yes I do, but I love my own life too
I can't help but feel that you don't understand
I can't eat, can't sleep
And I can't help but feel that you don't understand
Our fate is written in the stars, written on your face
Well, I lay here holding your hand
Do I love you? Yes I do, but I love my own life too
And now I lay here holding your hand
To say it to her face
Oh yeah
Oh, oh
I can't help but feel that you don't understand
I'm sinking in your sea of insecurity, yeah
Tighter you hold on, more that it's feeling like quicksand
