Lyrics
0:06I remember that day you froze over
0:11You wouldn't say you were sober
0:15And when I call you're never honest
0:18Cause I know it's not what I was promised
0:22I swore to myself I'd keep my distance
0:26I'll do my time I'll serve my sentence
0:30Because you're safe when you miss me
0:33Don't waste your time trying to fix this
0:37It's like you never let me past skin deep
0:41Don't trip up on the mess I always leave
0:45I'm trying to make the best of what we've been
0:48I'm no good for you I'm good for you
0:53Forgot you were like ice
0:57And I held on too tight
1:01Under my grip you melted away
1:05I felt you change
1:08My touch was like a vice
1:12And strangled out your light
1:16Under my watch you faded away
1:20I got too close again
1:23I'm set in my ways there's no changing
1:27You'll waste away while you're waiting
1:31Because it goes without saying
1:34The ice is so thin now it's breaking
1:38What could I say to keep you longer
1:42'Cause all our days are getting shorter
1:46Now I feel like a foreigner
1:50Miss the days when it warmer
1:53It's like you never let me past skin deep
1:57Don't trip up on the mess I always leave
2:01I'm trying to make the best of what we've been
2:04I'm no good for you I'm good for you
2:09Forgot you were like ice
2:13And I held on too tight
2:17Under my grip you melted away
2:21I felt you change
2:24My touch was like a vice
2:28And strangled out your light
2:32Under my watch you faded away
2:37I got too close again
2:40Got me treading on water
2:44I I'm goin' under
2:48Got me treading on water
2:52Stop pulling me under
2:55Got me treading on water
2:59I I'm goin' under
3:03Got me treading on water
3:07Stop pulling me under
I remember that day you froze over You wouldn't say you were sober And when I call you're never honest Cause I know it's not what I was promised I swore to myself I'd keep my distance I'll do my time I'll serve my sentence Because you're safe when you miss me Don't waste your time trying to fix this It's like you never let me past skin deep Don't trip up on the mess I always leave I'm trying to make the best of what we've been I'm no good for you I'm good for you Forgot you were like ice And I held on too tight Under my grip you melted away I felt you change My touch was like a vice And strangled out your light Under my watch you faded away I got too close again I'm set in my ways there's no changing You'll waste away while you're waiting Because it goes without saying The ice is so thin now it's breaking What could I say to keep you longer 'Cause all our days are getting shorter Now I feel like a foreigner Miss the days when it warmer It's like you never let me past skin deep Don't trip up on the mess I always leave I'm trying to make the best of what we've been I'm no good for you I'm good for you Forgot you were like ice And I held on too tight Under my grip you melted away I felt you change My touch was like a vice And strangled out your light Under my watch you faded away I got too close again Got me treading on water I I'm goin' under Got me treading on water Stop pulling me under Got me treading on water I I'm goin' under Got me treading on water Stop pulling me under
