Carter Will - Couldn't Drown Me

Blood in the water but I jumped in anyway
You swam your circles around me but I love the danger I like the pain
Like the Holy Father I looked to you to keep me safe
A beacon for my stranded self, but you're a phony you're a fake

Spent the last of my trust on you
You left me broke, begging' and confused
Climbing a mountain without a rope
But even if I had one I'd use it to choke

And when you sat there next to me I didn't feel no empathy
Just wandering eyes of regret
You coulda just avoided me you shoulda just destroyed me
Now I got you wishing you were dead.
And here I go on ranting again

A ticket to ride for a train that never comes
Dumb enough to think you were the only one
Took the blue to Western way and we were headed south
Feeling just wouldn't go away
So I left you crying on the CTA

And when you're around me, you surround me
Wanting more than I can give
Makes me not want to live with you

The gaze with which you looked at me it lacked all the humanity
That I had come to expect
I guess it's a dependency a single-minded delicacy
A vanishing supply to protect
So I lit my last two cigarettes

"No Ticket" echoed through both my ears
Smart enough not to waste the next four years
I will not hope the best for you I won't wish you well
I'll probably just tell you to go to hell
It's not like I can help myself

Blood in the water but I jumped in anyway
You swam your circles around me you tried but couldn't drown me
Blood in the water but I fell in anyway
You swam your circles around me you tried but couldn't drown me
