With the verses recorded on the spot in my car at 11 PM in the middle of a random parking lot, this song is about the same relationship taking a different kind of tole on me and how I was feeling.
lyrics
VERSE 1
I was in the water,
Stranded all alone.
Baby,
You didn’t come home.
I was in the fire,
Set off these tears.
But there was one more night,
I couldn’t stop my fears.
So I wanted you to know,
That there was nothing more.
The flame went,
Way too hight.
I wanted you to see,
That there was nothing more,
And I was,
Way too high.
CHORUS
You know you got me drowning,
So why are you the one who.
Saves me as well.
With you I’m finally breathing,
The air is ours so,
Don’t you let me down.
VERSE 2
And there was nothing,
Nothing more to say,
We took our lasting,
Breath.
No I couldn’t fight it,
You were way too strong.
So why would I let my self,
Go on.
I wanted you to show me,
You had much more.
In your mind,
But why did you keep the score.
I wanted you to know,
That I saw so much more.
And I still do so baby,
Don’t push me down no more.
CHORUS
You know you got me drowning,
So why are you the one who.
Saves me as well.
With you I’m finally breathing,
The air is ours so,
Don’t you let me down.
BRIDGE
No don’t you let me down,
No don’t you let me down.
Dont you let me,
Down.
Dont you let me down.
