In this bayou of lies
I used to float about
Now suddenly I am under.
With each passing day it,
Fills higher and higher
My body lays at the bottom
Undeserving of air.
I stopped fighting for life,
I live with these lies
At the bottom of this unforgiving bayou
I jumped in. oblivious. accepting
I stay here because I am no longer guilty .
My decision executed around our love
I didn't mean to hurt you, but I did
For me, the first thing I've ever done for ME!
I don't think it'll be my last …
