Sometimes I just wish I knew,
how to keep you happy,
without dragging myself down.

It's a constant cycle,
you're drowning and I'm a lifeboat,
but someday I'm gonna need,
some space to figure myself out,
because right now, focused on you,
I've completely lost track of myself.

Sometimes I wish I knew,
how to keep you and your cerulean eyes
from drowning in the pain that,
weighs you down.
But now I'm focused on myself,
for it's something I've neglected,
for a long while now.

I'm done saving you from the demons you refuse to shut out.
It's time for you to help yourself.
Feels so nice to finally let this out.
