Drowned

When you look my way I falter
As my heart sinks like a stone
Every word you speak like ashes
And the rust with which corrodes

So it was from the beginning
Your walls come crumbling down
If you measure the space between us
You won't see me around

One day I'll have the strength to
Pull myself off the ground
How can I breathe on my own
When you let me drown?

Round and round again
The cycle we all know
You put me down again
The same old fucking show
Claustrophobia
The walls are closing in
At my wits end again
Well where do we begin?

So it was from the beginning
Your walls come crumbling down
If you measure the space between us
You won't see me around

One day i'll have the strength to
Pull myself off the ground
How can I breathe on my own
When you let me drown?
When you let me drown

So it was all just pretending
You let me down from the start
If you count up the distance between us
It's what sets us apart

One day i'll have the strength to
Pull myself off the ground
How can I breathe on my own
When you let me drown?

One day i'll have the answers
To keep my head above ground
I'll never breathe on my own
When you let me drown
When you let me drown
When you let me drown
