Overthinking Lyrics

I could have just held my tongue
I should have just filled my lungs
Breathe in, breathe out and repeat

You know me well
Or at least in as far as I can tell
You should have known better
Than telling me I should have held it together for us
When I'm barely together myself
I'm barely together myself

I'm overthinking
Every thing I say and I do
Just reminds me I don't need you
'Cause there's nothing left for me to hang on to

And if you had kept your word
And listened instead of just heard
Instead of just waiting for your turn to speak
Then you'd know I was weak, but you don't
No wonder reality hurts
No wonder reality hurts

I'm overthinking
Every thing I say and I do
Just reminds me I don't need you
'Cause there's nothing left for me to hang on to
I'm overthinking
And I'm done with feeling empty
And pretending like you get me
I'm overthinking, but I think I'm through

I'm beating myself black and blue
I'm beating myself
I'm beating myself black and blue
(I'm beating myself black and blue)

I'm overthinking
Every thing I say and I do
Just reminds me I don't need you
'Cause there's nothing left for me to hang on to
I'm overthinking
And I'm done with feeling empty
And pretending like you get me
I'm overthinking. If I'm through
I'm beating myself black and blue
(Beat myself black and blue)
(Beat myself)
I'm beating myself black and blue
(Beat myself black and blue)
But it won't make no difference to you
