I can't bear to think of what your burdens weigh
I want to lift you up
And take your pain away
I'm addicted to my thoughts (When will you learn?)
Nothing will change until I change the way I think
If you play with fire you will burn
If I play with fire it will burn
Don't hold me down, it's not yours to bear
I'll carry this baggage, it wouldn't be fair
Behind my mask is truly vile
Hidden pain behind every smile
Could this be the final straw?
The one that breaks your back
Hold my hand, have trust in me
You'll bend before you break
It's like drowning
I need to be saved
As everyone else
Can breathe around me
Please just save me
I can no longer keep
My head above the waves
(My head above the waves)
I need you to be my anchor
But I don't want you to drown
Drowning in the crowds, I've lost myself again
With no strength to climb out
I need you to be my anchor
But I don't want you to drown
It's like drowning
I need to be saved
As everyone else can breathe
It's like drowning
I need to be saved
As everyone else
Can breathe around me
Please just save me
I can no longer keep
My head above the waves
(My head about the waves)
I'll drift away
So you don't have to pay the price for being near
I'll sink your pain
I don't need to explain the reasons I'm here
Let me drown, just let me drown
I'm past the point of help
We can sink or swim together
I'll never let you go (Let you go)
(Let you go)
