Thinking Twice

You told me not to do anything
without thinking twice
I didn't want to be the damsel in distress
but every time I spent a moment thinking
I'd think myself to pieces
and leave you cleaning up my mess

and I'd blink to escape the brightness
oh I'd breath just to escape the words
and you said you'd never understand my silence
but every time I think, I'd think myself to death
and wonder why you'd want
me to feel this more than just the once
