Keep Pushing Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time I see your face
I'm lost for words, I don't know what to say
You're smiling at me like a wolf
I close my eyes as my skin crawls away
You can keep on making lists
I'll be happy making my mistakes
You'll be ticking off your boxes
I'll be busy planning my escape

[Chorus]
I won't stay, but I can't leave
Some twisted sense of loyalty
You make me love the things I hate
Keep pushing me, pushing me, keep pushing me away
Please keep pushing me, pushing me, keep pushing me away

[Verse 2]
Pulling wings off butterflies
Just to hide the pain you feel inside
Keep telling yourself you're in charge
Telling yourself it'll be alright
And you'll stay happy in the dark
I'll be out drifting out towards the light
When you start to speak your mind
I'll just turn around and roll my eyes
[Chorus]
I won't stay, but I can't leave
Some twisted sense of loyalty
You make me love the things I hate
Keep pushing me, pushing me, keep pushing me away
Please keep pushing me, pushing me, keep pushing me away

[Bridge]
Stop breathing down my neck
Do you understand me yet?
Sometimes, you have to lose
I'm living life for me, not you

[Breakdown]
I won't stay but I can't leave
Some twisted sense of loyalty
You make me love the things I hate
Keep pushing me, pushing me, keep pushing me away

[Chorus]
I won't stay, but I can't leave
Some twisted sense of loyalty, oh
You make me love the things I hate
Keep pushing me, pushing me, keep pushing me away
Please keep pushing me, pushing me, keep pushing me away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
