Something's Off


I can't help but feel that something's off
You avoid me
For reasons that I cannot see
I feel like the third wheel
Was what we had before surreal?

I can't help but feel that something's off
You ignore me
Is this how we should be?
It's hard to get my thoughts in ears
Why don't you hear?

I can't help but feel that something's off
You push me away
Do you want me to hit the highway?
You won't return affection
Do I have a malfunction?
