Torturing Myself

by Lauren Presley

on Torturing Myself (2020)

[Verse 1]
You hit me like lightning, then you brought me back to life
It felt like my heart stopped, and I died a thousand times
My friends tried to warn me, that you were incapable, of loving somebody like me
Deep down I know that they're right, but I'm still gonna stay the night

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need you but I want to
These feelings got me playing the fool

[Chorus]
I just keep torturing myself, self, self
Can't put all these feelings for you on a shelf, shelf, shelf
I want you so bad and I know you can tell, tell, tell
But I know loving you's gonna hurt me like hell
Got all these feelings that I just can't help
So I'll just keep torturing my-

[Post-Chorus]
I just keep torturing, I just keep torturing myself
I just keep torturing, I just keep torturing myself

[Verse 2]
You knocked on my heart, beat down the door, so I let you in
And I just keep running back for more, time and time again
And I try not to wonder, who you're on the phone with, when it's two in the morning
But I'm still gonna stay the night, why even put up a fight? Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need you but I want to
These feelings got me playing the fool

[Chorus]
I just keep torturing myself, self, self
Can't put all these feelings for you on a shelf, shelf, shelf
I want you so bad and I know you can tell, tell, tell
But I know loving you's gonna hurt me like hell
Got all these feelings that I just can't help
So I'll just keep torturing my-

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Feels like I'm banging my head with a hammer again and again
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Every time I let you in

[Chorus]
I just keep torturing myself, self, self
Can't put all these feelings for you on a shelf, shelf, shelf
I want you so bad and I know you can tell, tell, tell
But I know loving you's gonna hurt me like hell
Got all these feelings that I just can't help
So I'll just keep torturing my-

[Post-Chorus]
I just keep torturing, I just keep torturing myself
I just keep torturing, I just keep torturing myself
