Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're sweet, but I'm sick
I hurt myself for kicks
I'm lost, but you're found
Both feet firmly on the ground
And I'm so high but still so low
I think I'm losing my mind
You're an angel
I'm just trying to be like you
Even if it's painful
[Chorus]
You can swim around
But I don't want you to drown inside me
It's not fair to be your responsibility
[Verse 2]
You're kind, but I'm not
It seems that I forgot how to care
About anything but my own despair
And you have a good heart
But I'm sure mine's stopped
And it won't restart
I think it's broken
So you can't own it
[Chorus]
You can swim around
But I don't want you to drown inside me
It's not fair to be your responsibility
[Chorus]
You can swim around
But I don't want you to drown inside me
It's not fair to be your responsibility
