Straitjacket Feeling

Straitjacket Feeling

All-American Rejects (The)
(album: Move Along)

Back me down from backing up
Hold your breath now it´s stacking up
Etched with marks, but I can deal
And you´re the problem and you can´t feel
Try this on, straitjacket feeling
so maybe I won´t be alone
Take back now, my life you´re stealing

Yesterday was hell
But today I´m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you´d be
That face is tearing holes in me again

Trust you is just one defense
off a list of others, you don´t make sense
Beg me time and time again
to take you back now, but you can´t win
Take back now, my life you´re stealing

Yesterday was hell
But today I´m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you´d be
That face is tearing holes in me
but today I´m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I´m holding on by letting go of you

And when that memory slips away
There´ll be a better view from here
And only lonesome you remains
and just the thought of you I fear
it falls away

Yesterday was hell
But today I´m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you´d be
That face is tearing holes in me
but today I´m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I´m holding on by letting go of you
