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
