| Why would you swim in my tide |
| Just to muddy my waters |
| Why would you learn me so deep |
| Just to play in my mind |
| Stolen some years |
| Cried every tear |
| Climbed every mountain |
| Why would I lay down my pride |
| Let you win every fight |
| Can’t say I didn’t try |
| I had to get up and run |
| Did it for the both of us |
| You never had the guts |
| Would have stayed stuck |
| Had to sever the rope |
| Before it killed us both |
| Before we went up in smoke |
| It’s tragic |
| I had to get up and run |
| Did it for the both of us |
| You were never the one |
| We never had it |
| And it’s tragic |
| Alone In a new city |
| We found home in each other |
| All the things that felt wrong bought us closer together |
| It gets cold in the winter |
| Kissed you warm in the kitchen |
| Shared that darkness with you |
| Can’t give more than I gave you |
| I needed help if I’m being honest |
| So I got to work solving your problems |
| Fuck all my priorities |
| Save 'em for a rainy day |
| I had to get up and run |
| Did it for the both of us |
| You never had the guts |
| Would have stayed stuck |
| Had to sever the rope |
| Before it killed us both |
| Before we went up in smoke |
| It’s tragic |
| I had to get up and run |
| Did it for the both of us |
| You were never the one |
| We never had it |
| And it’s tragic |
| If I could travel back in time |
| I’d choose to never love you |
| At night I often fantasize |
| Bout who I’d be if I never met you |
| If I had the chance |
| I’d go back where it all began |
| Take your hand, say not this man |
| Stop it in its tracks |
| Words of wisdom I could give ya |
| Knowing me I wouldn’t listen |
| But when you kissed him |
| I know you felt it |
| Something wasn’t right |
| Doesn’t matter why |
| You just had to try |
| Had to play with fire |
| You never learn |
| Take it from me |
| Would you take it from me |
| You don’t have to learn this one the hard way |
