Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw you
With a very loose grip on your tight ship
And I left you
With a very big mess then I watched it progress
Took a little time for your trip
But I saw you starting to slip
And you always kept your eyes on
Any little hiding spot that you had forgot
[Verse 2]
And I saw you after a decent spell in a private hell
And I told you
Hope I live a thousand lives, hope I live them well
Fought my mind to keep my life
But my body's putting up a tougher fight
Yeah, if it feels wrong you go on along
But once it feels right, then you just lost the fight
[Verse 3]
I saw you
With a very loose grip on your tight ship
And I lost you
When you said one hit couldn't hurt a bit
Took a little time for your trip
But I saw you starting to slip
'Cause you always kept your eyes on
And a little hiding spot you had forgot
[Verse 4]
And I can't shake
The terror of my life fleeting, minute by minute
Even when I can't imagine another day waking up in it
Fought my mind to keep my life
But my body's putting up a tougher fight
Yeah, if it feels wrong you go on along
But once it feels right, then you just lost the fight
