You are overbearing, I'm not in love But I don't wanna tell you We've been contemplating how to give it up But I can't convince you And we've been hopelessly holding too tight When we don't even need to And as the water fills this sinking ship I know we have to leave too Oh-oh Oh-oh Mayday, mayday This is an emergency Mayday, mayday You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah I said I'm moving on, 'cause things were getting rough But here I am in your bed I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone Now we're in over our heads It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times For worse or for better It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind And say goodbye forever Oh-oh Oh-oh Mayday, mayday This is an emergency Mayday, mayday You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah Oh, you gotta let me leave Oh, the weight will make us sink Oh, could you please help me leave? Oh, abandon ship with me Mayday, mayday This is an emergency Mayday, mayday You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away But you can't hear me call mayday Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you) Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you) Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you)
