Drowning

Perfect hugs Perfect love Perfect lie Thorough plans Bloody hands Sharpest knife Through no fault of your own 'Cause you said you've got problems at home Pain in your brown eyes Twinge in your complex smile But you're alone So I followed you Stranded, deserted, abandoned And begged you to run back home At the top of your lungs You cried, "No one will love me, I'm better off on my own" Oh, what a force of the imagination A perfectly impossible heart equation 'Cause you loved harder than anyone I'd ever known The best friend to everyone you met Yet, you were alone Mmm Sleepless nights Dimmest lights Loudest tears I threw all of myself away that year Though the fault wasn't mine That was the moment I knew it was time Death by a bad plan Drown in the quicksand You wouldn't even dare to take my hand So I reached for you Loudly said, "Please take it now, I don't think you have much time left" Then you fall so I drown and you're holding me down So I can't catch my breath By no stretch of the imagination Was the bottom of the lake my destination So I fought and I kicked and I screamed until I passed out I let go of your hand so I can make it out Alive Mmm You should know that putting my mask on first Is worse than the way the drowning hurts Haunted conversations that you just can't take back You did this to yourself and I think you know that And walking away is so much harder than staying But sometimes, it's the price worth paying So we can both be happy again Mmm Sleepless nights Dimmest Lights Loudest tears I threw all of myself away that year
