lyrics

What am I supposed to do now?
I can't go anywhere
All she is is in my head
And i don't know how to say this
Cause it seems i was unaware
But now I'm screaming code red
And I try to tell her all the time
But she says i'm the one who can quiet her mind
And then i go home and Im like “I'm not alright”
Why do I keep doing this to myself all the time?

Cause when I'm around her constant commotion
That's when i can't seem to focus
Cause liking her always seemed so effortless
Until you realise the journey’s treacherous
And backtrack three years and i was chasing my fears
And all i had in my head was excitement
And i don't know what happened
Maybe i realised heart can't win over head all the time

And i am calling out
Am I still screaming?
Tell my if I'm still bleeding
Cause now i am freaking out
What is this feeling?
Why does it feel like I'm not breathing?

When i'm around her constant commotion
That's when i can't seem to focus
Cause liking her always seemed so effortless
Until you realise the journey’s treacherous
And backtrack three years and i was chasing my fears
And all i had in my head was excitement
And i don't know what happened
Maybe i realised heart can't win over head all the time

Code red, code red, code red, code red, code red, code red
