You were the flame, but you burned out easily Yeah and you see the light through the dark But you can't quite see through to me And every word that you waste, every breath that you faked Hope they're keeping you up at night And I'm dying to let you go now Let you go You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave I'm the reason you're coming up for air Holding on to a memory You can blame it on wishful sinking You can blame it on wishful sinking I'd try to save you But what were you thinking? So just breathe slow, caught in the undertow And I'm fighting the current Holding my ground if you can't let go The pressure will hold you down Remember when you said until the end I swear I'll never feel the same again You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave I'm the reason you're coming up for air Holding on to a memory You can blame it on wishful sinking You can blame it on wishful sinking I'd try to save you But what were you thinking? I'd try to save you But what were you thinking? Every word that you waste Every breath that you faked Hope they're keeping you up at night And I'm dying to let you know now Dying to let you know They're coming for you Let you know You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave I'm the reason you're coming up for air Holding on to a memory You can blame it on wishful sinking You can blame it on wishful sinking I'd try to save you (I'd try to save you) I'd try to save you But what were you thinking?
