i took a rusted coin out of my pocket today
i had time to think it over but it made no sense to me
i had time to spin it around but i could not catch it, i was too late
i don't want to be with me anymore
i don't want to see me anymore

you brake the water with your ankles wrapped around your waist
you make me sane when all you do is stay
you make me happy when you cry with me
you will be my life
you will die with me

i crushed my head from hiding under the bridge
i took away my perfect sense to make way for pain
you were too late
i don't blame you anymore
i cannot feel you anymore

i brought life very close to me
i blamed myself for being me
i tried to fight what i could not see
i tried to lie to someone that was inside of me
you could be free
you should be me
