"23" lyrics - THE WARNING

THE WARNING
"23"

I looked at you, same as before
What had 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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
Is it wrong? (Wrong)
Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
It kills me when you're gone (Gone)
Is it wrong? Is it wrong?

[Bridge:]
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 of art that's not for me at all
Whoa

[Pre-Chorus:]
Hate that I still feel this way
Consciously keep choosing pain
Stop me, stop me
Stop me

[Chorus:]
Is it wrong? (Wrong)
Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
Is it wrong?

[Outro:]
Wrong
Wrong
