Under My Breath lyrics

[Intro]
(I've been screaming three words in my head
Say it under my breath instead
'Cause I don't wanna come on too—)

[Verse 1]
Hot and heavy
You put on your jeans and I keep reinventing
Ways to be around the bush
Not obsessing, 'least that's what I tell myself
f*ck, but I'm pretending

[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, I try to make colossal feelings look casual
Clinging on to my last bit of self-control
Mmm-mmm

[Chorus]
I've been screaming three words in my head
Say it under my breath instead
'Cause I don't wanna come on too—
What if it slips off my lips
Then everything goes to sh*t
Can't fix it
I don't wanna come on too strong
[Post-Chorus]
But I'm bound to spill my feelings
On the dinner table
Or in between the drink at the party
And I probably could've said it right bеfore you left
But I intentionally forgеt to mention that I love you

[Verse 2]
I'm a cynic
Maybe something in the water makes me pessimistic
I'm tryna make it all make sense
Terrifying, throwing my heart out on the line
So I keep it in

[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, I try to make colossal feelings look casual
Clinging on to my last bit of self-control
Oh, no, no

[Chorus]
I've been screaming three words in my head
Say it under my breath instead
'Cause I don't wanna come on too—
What if it slips off my lips
Then everything goes to sh*t
Can't fix it
I don't wanna come on too strong
[Post-Chorus]
But I'm bound to spill my feelings
On the dinner table
Or in between the drink at the party
And I probably could've said it right before you left
But I intentionally forget to mention that I love you

[Bridge]
Baby, I'm a walking, stalling, ticking, time-bomb
Ghosts I feel in the pockets of the silence
They're talking in my sleep
Drinking a coffee

[Chorus]
I've been screaming three words in my head
Say it under my breath instead
'Cause I don't wanna come on too—
What if it slips off my lips
Then everything goes to sh*t
Can't fix it
I don't wanna come on too strong

[Post-Chorus]
But I'm bound to spill my feelings
On the dinner table
Or in between the drink at the party
And I probably could've said it right before you left
But I intentionally forget to mention that I love you
