Nothing You Heard Of

You move

With the room

You move

With me

Every step I take

You come closer

You overthink

You over complicate

You move in

Try to get under my skin

You think

You won

You think I'm all yours

But as you get near

I take a step back

And it throws you

Off track

 

All you ever knew

Doesn't apply to me and you

All you ever wanted

Was me to want it back

To return

Half the sentiment

And like a sunburn

You feel me

All over you

But I'll fade

If you breathe 

Just a little bit

I'll walk away

And you hold on

Say whatever you need to

To get through to me

 

You ask me

To slow down

You ask me

To come around

A little more

You thought it was enough before

But now you're not sure

All you ever knew

All you learned

Is wrong

With me

None of the tricks

And slippery words

Work

Just slide right off my back

And you crack

Under the unknown

The pressure

It's real

Because 

I'm nothing

Nothing you ever heard of
