Treading Water

You said it was gonna be different this time
I was on the road, I swore I’d find
Was gonna be the girl that always knew I’d be
But I burned too hot, too fast, too bright
A falling star bound to lose its shine
I’m right back where I said I wouldn’t be
Stick around then you will see
I’m just treading water
Trying not to drown
While you’re standing on the edge
With both feet on the ground
If you only knew
How far you’d have to fall
Then baby you wouldn’t want me at all
Took my hand, said it’s okay
We’re all messed up in our own way
There’s room enough for two here in the dark
But I don’t think you really get
How often I’m a losing bet
I’m gonna wreck it all and watch it fall apart
Stick around and you will see
I’m just treading water
Trying not to drown
While you’re standing on the edge
With both feet on the ground
If you only knew
How far you’d have to fall
Then baby you wouldn’t want me at all
