"Fixation" lyrics

I couldn't feel
Any more trapped than I already do
Stuck inside
Stuck inside this state of mind with you

And yet you only smile like I'm your friend
For now my happiness depends on how well I pretend

Can we forget
That we are bound by all these ropes and strings that tie us up like this?
And when we wake up
We can't go back to the world that only wants us to be friends

And I hope that when I sing you're looking up at me
(Looking up at me) So you can see my eyes are filled with hope for what could be

I know I'm bound to this fixation
For as long as I stay here
Sometimes I wish I could just leave
So you can come running after me

And the perfect world we're after
Always seems to disappear
I wish that we could find a way
To make it out of here

But that would mean that all we've done would simply go to waste
(Simply go to waste) I'm trying to convince myself we're better off this way
(Better off this way) because you only smile like I'm your friend
(Like I'm your friend) I wish someone would shake this out of me or shake it
Into you

I know I'm bound to this fixation
For as long as I stay here
Sometimes I wish I could just leave
So you can come running after me

And the perfect world we're after
Always seems to disappear
I wish that we could find a way
To make it out of here

And yet you only smile like I'm your friend
But now my happiness depends on how well I pretend
