I am the other

So close but so far

Frozen and lightning struck

Water is rising

We're running out of luck

What was I thinking

Knew it was dangerous

Dived in the shallow end

Didn't care, head first

Either you can stick it out

Try to make it work somehow

Or you run and just get out

Sink to the bottom

Where all the big fish are

Here I am waiting

Nothing should be this hard

How did we get here

Falling and scraping knees

How can we fix it

How can we stop the bleed

Either you can stick it out

Try to make it work somehow

Or you run and just get out

You're the one who's leaving now

And I think I am the other
