[Chorus]

I keep calling

I keep falling down I'm trying to get up

Can you save me

I don't know if I can do this on my own

I keep calling

You keep stalling almost every time you go

Can you save me

I don't know if I can even stay afloat


[Verse 1]

Another night where we disconnect

Say we do but don't show respect

I'm drowning out in way too much stress

Your heart is one that I can't protect

Can't take the love that I offer you

Can't feel affection you offer me

It's hard to fight on this battlefield

And be the man that I gotta be

Then I'm right back with a note pad feeling so mad I've had

Depressed days and I really want my life back

Heart cold one day I'll need a bypass

I'm living sidetracked

Feeling hijacked

And I don't get sleep without a nightcap

I'm thinking that I'm on a different flight path

I'm numb at the bottom of the bucket with a white flag I don't wanna fight back nah


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm drowning and nobody ever tries to reach me

Tide is coming and the waters getting too deep

Why can't you hear me when I'm screaming that I can't breathe

Can't breathe


[Chorus]

I keep calling

I keep falling down I'm trying to get up

Can you save me

I don't know if I can do this on my own

I keep calling

You keep stalling almost every time you go

Can you save me

I don't know if I can even stay afloat


[Verse 2]

I used to believe I had to be

A perfect person I had to keep

The real me locked in I could not compete

Didn't love myself I was not complete

I drift off into the distance and never listen when you trying to figure out what this is

I've taken a road I could not have predicted

Seeking in myself trying to find where bliss is

Deep in my bones I can feel the trauma

Try to feel good but I'm used to drama

Tend to find peace when I lie in silence

Either that or in a beat when I meet with karma

I created a war that's filling with broken apologies

And if I drift off to the deepest of waters I understand that you can't follow me

Will you follow me


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm drowning and nobody ever tries to reach me

The tide is coming and the waters getting too deep

Why can't you hear me when I'm screaming that I can't breathe

Can't breathe


[Chorus]

I keep calling

I keep falling down I'm trying to get up

Can you save me

I don't know if I can do this on my own

I keep calling

You keep stalling almost every time you go

Can you save me

I don't know if I can even stay afloat


[Bridge]

Yeah

You reach me

Can't breathe

When the waves come crashing down

Pull me under and surround me

Will you reach out


[Verse 3]

I guess we don't know where this might go

But I know that we're stuck in a cycle

It feels like we're drifting apart

An ocean between us in need of a lifeboat

But I'll never let go

I'm with you together as long as we're walking this tightrope


[Outro]

I'm drowning and nobody ever tries to reach me

Tide is coming and the waters getting too deep

Why can't you hear me when I'm screaming that I can't breathe
