Stuck Between by Melodie Yvonne

Stuck between Hell and a hard place
Lookin’ for just a moment of peace
Tryin’ to stop myself from fallin’
But wantin’ to fall and get some relief

Stuck between tryin’ to love you and let go
Stuck with you all in my mind
Can’t think about nothin’ ‘cept wantin’ to hold you
But I guess that’s just a waste of my time

Stuck between tryin’ to love me and let go
Stuck here just wantin’ to die
Wishin’ a little I’d never have met you
Still wishin’ you’d give me some time

Stuck here between boredom and nuclear war
Stuck in a bottomless pit
Keep tryin’ to hit that old fuckin’ rock bottom
But can’t keep this dumpster fire lit

Stuck here between tryin’ to love you and let go
Stuck with you all on my mind
Can’t you just put me the fuck out my misery
At least Dr. Kevorkian was kind

Here I’m still stuck between Hell and a hard place
Still lookin’ for a moment of peace
Still tryin’ to stop myself from fallin’
But still wantin’ to fall and get some relief
