Treading Water
I remember that day you froze over
You wouldn't say you were sober
And when I call, you're never honest
Cause I know it's not what I was promised
I swore to myself, I'd keep my distance
I'll do my time, I'll serve my sentence
Because you're safe when you miss me
Don't waste your time trying to fix this
It's like you never let me past skin deep
Don't trip up on the mess I always leave
I'm trying to make the best of what we've been
I'm no good for you I'm good for you
Forgot you were like ice
And I held on too tight
Under my grip you melted away
I felt you change
My touch was like a vice
And strangled out your light
Under my watch you faded away
I got too close again
I'm set in my ways, there's no changing
You'll waste away while you're waiting
Because it goes without saying
The ice is so thin, now it's breaking
What could I say to keep you longer?
Cause all our days are getting shorter
Now I feel like a foreigner
Miss the days when it was warmer
It's like you never let me past skin deep
Don't trip up on the mess I always leave
I'm trying to make the best of what we've been
I'm no good for you I'm good for you
Forgot you were like ice
And I held on too tight
Under my grip you melted away
I felt you change
My touch was like a vice
And strangled out your light
Under my watch you faded away
I got too close again
Got me treading on water
I, I'm goin' under
Got me treading on water
Stop pulling me under
Got me treading on water
I, I'm goin' under
Got me treading on water
Stop pulling me under
You wouldn't say you were sober
And when I call, you're never honest
Cause I know it's not what I was promised
I swore to myself, I'd keep my distance
I'll do my time, I'll serve my sentence
Because you're safe when you miss me
Don't waste your time trying to fix this
It's like you never let me past skin deep
Don't trip up on the mess I always leave
I'm trying to make the best of what we've been
I'm no good for you I'm good for you
Forgot you were like ice
And I held on too tight
Under my grip you melted away
I felt you change
My touch was like a vice
And strangled out your light
Under my watch you faded away
I got too close again
I'm set in my ways, there's no changing
You'll waste away while you're waiting
Because it goes without saying
The ice is so thin, now it's breaking
What could I say to keep you longer?
Cause all our days are getting shorter
Now I feel like a foreigner
Miss the days when it was warmer
It's like you never let me past skin deep
Don't trip up on the mess I always leave
I'm trying to make the best of what we've been
I'm no good for you I'm good for you
Forgot you were like ice
And I held on too tight
Under my grip you melted away
I felt you change
My touch was like a vice
And strangled out your light
Under my watch you faded away
I got too close again
Got me treading on water
I, I'm goin' under
Got me treading on water
Stop pulling me under
Got me treading on water
I, I'm goin' under
Got me treading on water
Stop pulling me under
