They say to let it go, I push it harder on the pedal
I should settle but instead I try to barter with the devil
when there's nothing I can offer; blame it on the author
of the story of my life, I never played into the part
that I was given. It's written as a tragedy, but half of me
Just views it as a comedy, I'm laughing though it's sad to watch it happen
So I guess that it's both
I think you're tryna teach me something but the lesson is slow
I'll never know until it's over with, hoping that I notice it
at times I see the sign, but never read it, as I grow a little older
it's slow getting harder as I'm closing what I opened
and this road is getting lonelier with no one I can mold it with
so I sit, picturing you sitting too
Listening, apologizing for the shit you didn't do
it's vivid too, it's like you're really talking to me
but with this water getting deeper it gets hard to believe
You let me drown, I need to breathe
I'm sinking deeper
You let me drown, I can't breathe
You stay far away
and let me drown, I need to breathe
(as I travel down this road, and I see that I'm alone)
You see me falling
and let me drown, I can't..I can't breathe
You said you'd save me
You let me drown
No matter what I write, you're somewhere in the lyrics
I question what I'm hearing as I listen, everyone is interfering
But I'm standing in the mirror, talking to myself again
Remembering irrelevant remarks and every element
in talked I had with everyone else
They said that I should have some faith in you, but where were you whenever I fell?
Everything felt like it was toppling on top of what I tried to build
My mind was filled with every "how could you?" and "why?" but still
I was feeling like maybe it was me
I wasn't patient, but I see that I was wasting what had seemed
to be the faith that I was placing where it should've been
I should've had it in myself, but either way it's like I couldn't win
'cause now I'm blaming me for where my life has gone
Telling me that life goes on, you said I'd see the light of dawn
But this night is longer than you said it'd be
That when I need you you'd be next to me, so why are you letting me
You let me drown, I need to breathe
I'm sinking deeper
You let me drown, I can't breathe
You stay far away
and let me drown, I need to breathe
(as I travel down this road, and I see that I'm alone)
You see me falling
and let me drown, I can't..I can't breathe
You said you'd save me
You let me drown
I remember every night, I'd tell you things I never told to no one else
Looking back, you never really listened, but I showed myself
to you. I guess that I was talking to myself
It's my fault, I really thought that you would help
But in my heart, I guess I felt it, the entire time I knew
the missing piece in me I tried to find in you
Ignoring signs, I was fine being blind to proof
and to find any peace of mind I would lie and deny the truth
That was staring in my eyes, it's hard to believe
But even harder when I don't when every part of me needs
Someone to turn to - something to believe in
Someone to save me when I'm jumping in the deep end
But you let me drown, watching as I try to swim
But still never diving in to save me, and no matter how much I pretend
Despite it that you really care, the truth is finally clear
if you're there, you really don't, so it's my final prayer
Amen.
