Get a grip
You’re falling
I can’t catch you
I can only watch you slip away
Watching you drown yourself
Words over head
Heels over words
Crying as you think
Of all the things you wish
That you could say
You keep it inside
Throw it around
It’s driving you crazy
And pulling you down
The water rising
I can’t pull you out
I promised I’d save you
But you don’t want to be saved
Keep making decisions
Without thinking first
This situation
Is only getting worse
Take a breath, and mean it
Keep yourself alive
I promised I’d save you
But only you can save you
This time
