She told me to save myself
She told me to spare her from the drama
She thinks oxygen can’t help
Maybe she wanted to drown, I wonder

That empty stare of murdered will to live
A castaway with no strength to retrieve

I fight these choices I have
Aim the impossible
Adrift and powerless to save her
From the chances she intended to stand

I told her to stick with me
And stay awake throughout that nightmare
I told her to grab my hand
But she held onto failure instead and so she stood there

I fight these choices I have
Aim the impossible
Adrift and powerless to save her
From the chances she intended to stand

I told her to stick with me
And stay awake throughout that nightmare
I told her to grab my hand
But she held onto failure instead and so she stood there

That empty stare of murdered will to live
A castaway with no strength to retrieve

All hope and wreckage underwater
Pull me back into the light of day
All hope and wreckage underwater
It’s all that takes to make me want to live

I told her to stick with me
And stay awake throughout that nightmare
I told her to grab my hand
But she held onto failure instead and so she stood there
