New Anxieties

Lyrics

I used to feel fine enough Until you showed up Standing at my door in the light of the morning Carrying the last straw Now there's nothing I can do to lose you; On like a tattoo, following my instincts Thinking all the worst things I don't even want to but I can't help it even though I know I should I can't stand it; how I wish, I wish I could Bringing up these old tears, battling these old fears I can't help it, these new anxieties Take a breath in and out, am I in control now? Should be counting blessings but I'm just obsessing I gotta slow it down Thought I'd be further than this; had a great therapist Days getting longer, rooms getting smaller The walls are closing in I can't help it even though I know I should I can't stand it; how I wish, I wish I could Bringing up these old tears, battling these old fears I can't help it, these new anxieties And I try, but it all goes by so fast in my mind It multiplies I can't help it even though I know I should I can't stand it; how I wish, I wish I could I can't break it, caught up in a spell so clever I can't shake it, even though I should know better Bringing up these old tears battling these old fears I can't help it These new anxieties Bringing up these old tears Battling these old fears And new anxieties
