23
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I looked at you, same as before
What has changed I do not know
But the thought of you
Replayed in secret
It hurt me but I asked for more
Falling down your rabbit hole
I kept on biting back
What I was feeling
I close my eyes and you are there
Innocently unaware
Stop me
Stop me
Tell me
Tell me
Break my heart for all I care
As long as I get to be there
Stop me
Stop me
Tell me
Is it wrong (wrong)
Is it wrong
Is it wrong
It kills me when you're gone (gone)
Is it wrong
Is it wrong
Fast forward to twenty-three
We're barely old enough to drink
The bittersweet return of all these feelings
Sudden glances leave their wake
I cannot breathe under the weight
If you look hard enough
I fear you'll see it
The world around you cancels out
Three words that I can't say out loud
Stop me
Stop me
Feel me
Heal me
Your eyes meet mine and I implode
I guess I'll love you on my own
Stop me
Stop me
Tell me
Is it wrong (wrong)
Is it wrong
Is it wrong
It kills me when you're gone (gone)
Is it wrong
Is it wrong
Cross my heart and hope to die
Can't you see that
I want you so bad that I can barely breathe
Can't you see that you're killing me too slowly
But I can't seem to let you go
Every word you say it's like it's poetry
A work for art that's not for me at all
Oh
Hate that I still feel this way
Consciously keep choosing pain
Stop me
Stop me
Stop me
Is it wrong (wrong)
Is it wrong
Is it wrong
Is it wrong
Wrong
