You fight for every breath   Caught without a ship in this sea of neglect   The one you swore to love is pulling you down   You're in over your head   Chilled to the bone by the waters you've tread   Chart a course to land before you drown      Swim to the nearest distant shore   There's only so much a heart can endure   You gave it your best, forgive yourself   You can't hold on anymore   It's not as far as it might seem   Now it's time to let go of old dreams   Every heart for itself   Swim to the nearest distant shore      He said for you he'd change   Then he'd let you down and watch you take the blame   You're trapped between his lies and the great unknown   You vowed you would not fail   But this ain't success it's a living hell   There's nothing left to lose, you're already alone      Swim to the nearest distant shore   There's only so much a heart can endure   You gave it your best, forgive yourself   You can't hold on anymore   It's not as far as it might seem   Now it's time to let go of old dreams   Every heart for itself   Swim to the nearest distant shore
