I’m reaching out for you, but it might be the last time
I promised I could change, but I can’t seem to change my mind
I’ve been swimming for so long against the tide
Am I even worth it? Or am I in a losing fight?
I want you near me but I can’t have you close cuz you could be the lifeline that I need
And I don’t wanna get on your boat cuz I want to sink and you want me to float
And you - you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t see
No - you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t see
No you - you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t see
No - it’s not as easy as you make it out to be
Tell me: what is left for me after the storm clears?
Will the stillness of the water bring me face to face with all my deepest fears?
Am I even worth it? Why can’t I change?
Some days I wish a tidal wave would come and wash us all away
I want you near me but I can’t have you close cuz you are the lifeline that I need
And I don’t wanna get on your boat cuz I want to sink and you’re keeping me afloat
And you - you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t see
No - you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t see
No you - you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t see
No - it’s not as easy as you make it out to be
