Heavy Hearts

It was in the atmosphere

It was love and it was fear

All at the same time

I should know

Slow motion tragedy

In the car she touched my cheek

And forever had to change

Think I'm losing what I planned to save

I can't live inside a dream

She said, "I'm falling in love with myself again"

"And that's enough for me"

And with that we fell apart

Treading water holding heavy hearts

It's the waking up alone

It's the pain of growing old

And pain can be selfish

I should know

So I'm drifting out to sea

Waiting for the wind to carry me

But you ain't the wind and I can't swim

I only have myself to save

I can't live inside a dream

She said, "I'm falling in love with myself again"

"And that's enough for me"

And with that we fell apart

Treading water holding heavy hearts

Well I met somebody new

He used to love you like I do

And he looks a lot like me

Guess we'll see

I can't give you what you need

She said, "But I can offer a friend"

"And that's all that I can be"

And with that we fell apart

Treading water holding heavy hearts

We're trading water holding heavy hearts
