[Verse 1]

You are overbearing, I'm not in love

But I don't wanna tell you

We've been contemplating how to give it up

But I can't convince you

And we've been hopelessly holding too tight

When we don't even need to

And as the water fills this sinking ship

I know we have to leave too

[Chorus]

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Mayday, mayday

This is an emergency

Mayday, mayday

You've gotta let me leave

I'm lying here, inches away

But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

I said I'm moving on, 'cause things were getting rough

But here I am in your bed

I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone

Now we're in over our heads

It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times

For worse or for better

It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind

And say goodbye forever

[Chorus]

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Mayday, mayday

This is an emergency

Mayday, mayday

You've gotta let me leave

I'm lying here, inches away

But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

Oh, you gotta let me leave

Oh, the weight will make us sink

Oh, could you please help me leave?

Oh, abandon ship with me

[Chorus]

Mayday, mayday

This is an emergency

Mayday, mayday

You've gotta let me leave

I'm lying here, inches away

But you can't hear me call mayday

[Outro]

Mayday, mayday (You are overbearing; I'm not in love)

(But I don't wanna tell you)

Mayday, mayday (You are overbearing; I'm not in love)

(But I don't wanna tell you)

Mayday, mayday (You are overbearing; I'm not in love)

(But I don't wanna tell you)
