Couldn't Drown Me

Blood in the water but I jumped in anyway You swam your circles around me but I love the danger I like the pain Like the Holy Father I looked to you to keep me safe A beacon for my stranded self, but you're a phony you're a fake Spent the last of my trust on you You left me broke, begging' and confused Climbing a mountain without a rope But even if I had one I'd use it to choke And when you sat there next to me I didn't feel no empathy Just wandering eyes of regret You coulda just avoided me you shoulda just destroyed me Now I got you wishing you were dead. And here I go on ranting again A ticket to ride for a train that never comes Dumb enough to think you were the only one Took the blue to Western way and we were headed south Feeling just wouldn't go away So I left you crying on the CTA And when you're around me, you surround me Wanting more than I can give Makes me not want to live with you The gaze with which you looked at me it lacked all the humanity That I had come to expect I guess it's a dependency a single-minded delicacy A vanishing supply to protect So I lit my last two cigarettes "No Ticket" echoed through both my ears Smart enough not to waste the next four years I will not hope the best for you I won't wish you well I'll probably just tell you to go to hell It's not like I can help myself Blood in the water but I jumped in anyway You swam your circles around me you tried but couldn't drown me Blood in the water but I fell in anyway You swam your circles around me you tried but couldn't drown me
