[Verse 1]
I fell short of the first stone that you cast
(And I threw the first punch, but you had the last word)
And you were the last thing I saw as my knuckles painted pictures on the gla**
And when the fear of failure is the bullet in the chamber
Then it's no wonder why I wasted my shot on the past
I let life impale me when I grabbed it by the horns
And now I'm bleeding insecurity; at least it keeps me warm
And I'm stuck on finer lines between bad nights and better times
You're tangled up and hopelessly entwined
[Chorus]
I refuse to drown
You're the rock tied to my feet as I sink slowly to the deep
You sold me out
I let you let me down
To fall apart and reconstruct as I was found
[Verse 2]
Self inflict incompetence
You'll never reek of confidence
So tell me why was I surprised
When you found your complacence as you gladly missed the boat
Cuz I'll blindly follow my heart as it drops into my throat
[Chorus]
I refuse to drown
You're the rock tied to my feet as I sink slowly to the deep
You sold me out
I let you let me down
To fall apart and reconstruct as I was found
[Bridge]
You followed everything exactly as you drew it in the plan
The same defense you swear you're stronger than
And when this front stops holding up
Then I will be the only one
Who puts their faith in you
[Chorus]
I refuse to drown
You're the rock tied to my feet as I sink slowly to the deep
You sold me out
I let you let me down
To fall apart and reconstruct as I was found
