Undertow

It kills me to think about all those wasted years Caught somewhere between wanting to be noticed And wanting to disappear You covered me like a blanket And promised you'd always be there But when this girl was on fire You smothered her with despair My lover my liar we were walking on a thin wire Trapped in your undertow how did I let you take control It's damn time I realize that I can rise above your riptide Now I'm the one in control and I'm better off alone Than in your undertow No reason for jealousy but you kept me under lock and key Now every night it's the same dream Is it always gonna torment me Haunted by my past mistakes Not sure how much more I can take Is it really better to burn out than fade away My lover my liar we were walking on a thin wire Trapped in your undertow how did I let you take control It's damn time I realize that I can rise above your riptide Now I'm the one in control and I'm better off alone Than in your undertow I won't let you hold me down another day But you can watch me while I walk away You had me believing this was good as it could be oh no Breaking through the illusion of you I'm finally free from My lover my liar we were walking on a thin wire Trapped in your undertow how did I let you take control It's damn time I realize that I can rise above your riptide Now I'm the one in control and I'm better off alone Than in your undertow Than in your undertow
