Right Choice - Can't Swim

I feel it now and it won’t stop

Take me back to the place where we first start

(Lie awake thinking, bad thoughts keep creeping)

I’m so ashamed of that one night

Put your hands on my eyes just to block the light

(Hiding in the seams)

You call me up on the phone

And you tell me you’re leaving

What can I take to stop from feeling

A sea in my path that I can’t swim

All the strength that we had starts to wear thin

(Falling out of grace, memories are misplaced)

Time takes a toll as we both know

Trampled on, broken down, nothing left to show

(Regrets all sink in, underneath my skin)

You call me up on the phone

(No, I’m not the right choice)

And you tell me you’re leaving

(I gave you nothing that you wanted)

What can I take to stop from feeling

(I gave you nothing that you wanted)

Are my hands too weak to break

The ties you made won’t go away

I can’t find the words to make you stay

Are there some who made it through

Without a scratch, without a bruise?

Let’s make a toast to ones who ran away

You call me up on the phone

And you tell me you’re leaving

What can I do to show I need you
