lyrics

You sit by the lake and you watch me fall
You had a face full of remorse
You call out my name, say don’t go too far

How do you push my onto the ground
Yet exude words of kindness with a soul so foul

Your bitterness cracks a smile now every time we see eye to eye
Your bitterness cracks a smile now every time we see eye to eye

You saved yourself, no room for two
Did our love mean a thing to you
As soon as something went awry
The first to flee into the light
But the darkness aided me to see
If I follow you, I follow misery

Trapped in the undertow with no escape
As I looked around, gaze up, gaze down, there's nothing to be found
Suddenly I heard the darkness calling me

Saying it could show me how to be free
I was a hopeless case with fear written on my face
So how could I turn down the dark
It could be all I need

You saved yourself, no room for two
Did our love mean a thing to you
As soon as something went awry
The first to flee into the light
But the darkness aided me to see
If I follow you, I follow misery

The water flows, watch it immerse me
You hear my beating heart above the lake
But you turn you back on me
It's easier, it's easier
It's easier, it's easier

You saved yourself, no room for two
Did our love mean a thing to you
As soon as something went awry
The first to flee into the light
But the darkness aided me to see
If I follow you, I follow misery
