Overload

Oh, oh
How long can I float
In shark infested water?
No rocking the boat
Don't move, sit quiet, the way I oughta
I don’t wannabe your acceptable version of me
I do better alone oh oh
'Cause you know you're being careless with my love
Take a warning 'cos the pressure's building up
You don't wanna see me go
You're pushing me to overload
(Ah, ah) you don't wanna see me go
I've gone before so you should know
(Ah, ah) you don't wanna see me
Unlocking the door
To truths that I've been hiding
If I said what I thought you’d realise why I’m still smiling
I’m not gonna be your acceptable version of me
I don’t need you anymore, oh oh
'Cause you know you're being careless with my love
Take a warning 'cos the pressure's building up
You don't wanna see me go (don't wanna se me go)
You're pushing me to overload (you're pushing me to overload)
(Ah, ah) you don't wanna see me go (don't wanna see me go)
I've gone before so you should know
(Ah, ah) you don't wanna see me go (oh, oh)
You don't wanna see me go, oh oh oh
'Cause you know you're being careless with my love
Take a warning 'cos the pressure's building up
I've tried to ride it out but now enough's enough
Why you treat me so bad when you need so much?
You don't wanna see me go
You're pushing me to overload
(Ah, ah) you don't wanna see me go
I've gone before so you should know
(Ah, ah) you don't wanna see me go (don't wanna see me go)
You're pushing me to overload (you're pushing me to overload)
(Ah, ah) you don't wanna see me go (don't wanna see me go)
I've gone before so you should know
(Ah, ah) you don't wanna see me go
You don't wanna see me go, oh oh oh
You don't wanna see me go
