Verse 1]
You didn’t fall — you let go.
You let the ocean swallow you whole.
Told me you were tired of breathing
While I carved my lungs open, still believing.
I screamed underwater,
But you just blinked.
You watched me sink
Trying to pull you from the brink.
You weren’t drowning —
You were dragging me under
’Cause pain was your god
And I was your thunder.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept whispering “live,”
But you worshipped the death.
I gave you my breath…
And you spit it back in my chest.
⸻
[Chorus]
Ooh… I finally see the truth
You never wanted saving —
You wanted proof
That someone would die for you.
So I nearly did.
But martyrdom ain’t love,
It’s just a slow descent in skin.
I tore the cape off, bleeding in my own arms
What kind of hero forgets to disarm?
What kind of love lets you drown
While I’m sinking too, just to hold you down?
I ain’t swimming back this time.
Not for you.
Not for pain.
Not for the lie that wore your name.
⸻
[Verse 2]
You called it love — but it was a grave.
Built from every apology you never made.
You said, “Don’t let go,” with your hands around my throat
Called it comfort, while you watched me choke.
[Spoken word sadly crying] Ooh, I can finally fucking see
I’ll never be free
Ooh, I can finally fucking see
That I’ll never be free
You wont give a fuck shit about me
What was I fighting for?
I’m dying on the floor
I guess I'll never know
I don’t want to like go
Can we just go to the shore
I'm swimming for us both
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I?
I made oceans out of my ribs
Hoping you’d learn to swim.
But you were never looking for shore —
You just wanted someone to drown with.
⸻
[Chorus 2 – heavier, choir builds softly behind]
Ooh… I finally see the wound
You never needed healing
You just needed a tomb
Where someone would lay beside you.
And I almost did.
But love ain’t dying slowly
Just so you don’t feel like shit.
I burned the cape — set fire to the script.
This ain’t sacrifice.
This is exit.
⸻
[Bridge – whispered, emotional breakdown]
I touched your face in the dark,
Tried to remind you who we were…
But your eyes were already graves
And I realized —
You never wanted me
You wanted someone to fade.
I’m done fading.
Done breaking.
Done calling pain devotion.
I’m done treading ghosts
In your poisoned ocean. [Spoken word sadly crying] Ooh, I can finally fucking see
I’ll never be free
Ooh, I can finally fucking see
That I’ll never be free
You wont give a fuck shit about me
What was I fighting for?
I’m dying on the floor
I guess I'll never know
I don’t want to like go
Can we just go to the shore
I'm swimming for us both
[Final Chorus – stripped down, haunting falsetto]
Ooh… I can finally breathe
Even if it’s just me, quietly.
What was I drowning for?
A love that fed on grief
A war that gave no peace
I leave your name in the mud
[Spoken word sadly crying]
Ooh, I can finally fucking see
I’ll never be free
Ooh, I can finally fucking see
That I’ll never be free
You wont give a fuck shit about me!
