When you look my way I falter

As my heart sinks like a stone

Every word you speak like ashes

And the rust with which corrodes

So it was from the beginning

Your walls come crumbling down

If you measure the space between us

You won't see me around

One day I'll have the strength to

Pull myself off the ground

How can I breathe on my own

When you let me drown?

Round and round again

The cycle we all know

You put me down again

The same old fucking show

Claustrophobia

The walls are closing in

At my wits end again

Well where do we begin?

So it was from the beginning

Your walls come crumbling down

If you measure the space between us

You won't see me around

One day i'll have the strength to

Pull myself off the ground

How can I breathe on my own

When you let me drown?

When you let me drown

So it was all just pretending

You let me down from the start

If you count up the distance between us

It's what sets us apart

One day i'll have the strength to

Pull myself off the ground

How can I breathe on my own

When you let me drown?

One day i'll have the answers

To keep my head above ground

I'll never breathe on my own

When you let me drown

When you let me drown

When you let me drown
