While you were practicing growing up
I was kicked to the flood
Your swimming lessons weren't free
Gasping for air in the sea
I'll flail until I float
with nobody holding me

Stop your crying
I'm such a mess
I've given everything
and I'm still worthless

Eating your father's gold
while I'm polishing copper
I've lost all the weight I can't hold
And I've become what I need

Bottom line is you faked it
Give em a reason to blame it
Say it's not your fault
But it's all you want
you've just never had the guts
I had to flail until I float
with nobody holding me

That's why nobody is holding onto me

Over and over
you look for the answers
Searching in bottles
Blaming your past
I know you're frustrated
and I'm tired of lying
It's all been excuses
But I'll go down trying"
