The waves are trying to swallow you
The air was bitter and obstinate
Yet your screams for help
to be saved
oh, to be saved
Reverberates all around

I am not one to jump and save you
I know better
Or I don't
I don't know
Yet I call
save him
oh, save him
And you were saved

God you turned to me
How angry you were
Seething and beyond consolation

You were supposed to save me
I did—
You didn't jump
I know—

Drowning was all it took
You already know me
The air remained salty and unresponsive
I am a coward
