I wasn't willing to kill this part of me 
The part that lets me be free
I killed us so I could do me
When I was done doing me I felt alone
I tried to go back home 
But the house was full

I was a fool
Was I a fool

Look at what I accomplished
What could we have accomplished? 
Could I have done both?

I swam upstream for a while
My arms died but I kept going for an extra mile
It feels like I couldn't do both
I'm sorry I wasn't what I said I would be

You were the anchor that kept me grounded but I made you into the anchor that I dragged
And you're not holding me back
You're just making it harder for me to move forward

Took up my time
Much too intense
Couldn't breathe
Didn't understand
Wanted to stop
I was afraid
Stopped anyway
I'm still afraid
