drinking alone & unwise at the table
watch me tremble; shook from the core
I say you're lonely, you say I'm unstable
I give all I have & you ask me for more.

⁢'s hard for me to breathe
through the needles & pins
hard for me to see
I'm giving in
you would love if you could be
a little under my skin
it's hard for me to see
I'm letting you win.

sinking inside in a fisherman's stable
cigarette ashes cover the floor
I try not to need you & find I'm unable
I give all I have & you ask me for more.

⁢'s hard for me to breathe
through the needles & pins
hard for me to see
I'm giving in
you would love if you could be
a little under my skin
it's hard for me to see
I'm letting you win.

oh, what a beautiful day:
I know that I won't always feel this way.
oh, this ocean I'm in;
I've already decided I won't swim.
I've already decided I won't swim.

losing myself in the old rhymes & fables
a candle to fend off my wandering mind
I told you I loved you, laid my heart on the table;
that's not what I got so I'll burrow inside.
