Lifeboat

from Hummingbird by Casee Wilson

/

lyrics

I look in the mirror, clean the mascara off my face
I want to be clearer, want to disappear without a trace
I stand in your shadow, looking at everything but you
Try to untangle all of the things I thought I knew

I can't save you, I can barely save myself,
This lifeboat ain't big enough for both of us
I'm on my knees, you're the weight that's crushing me
I need to let you go
You keep dragging me under, I can't help but wonder
If you ever loved me at all
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself

Your sky is falling, the house you build crumbles brick by brick
But still you keep stalling, unable to commit to twist or stick
I'm lost in your shadow, looking for a way to find the light
But everything's hollow, there'll be no answers here tonight

I can't save you, I can barely save myself,
This lifeboat's not big enough for both of us
I'm on my knees, you're the weight that's crushing me
I need to stand and fight
You keep dragging me under, I can't help but wonder
Why I let you waste my time
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself

I'm gonna let this lifeboat take me
Where you can't reach and you can't break me
I won't come back and you can't make me
Cause baby I'm free

I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself
