You fight for every breath,
Caught without a ship in this sea of neglect,
The one you swore to love is pulling you down,
You're in over your head,
Chilled to the bone by the waters you tread,
Chart a course to land before you drown,
(chorus)
Swim to the nearest distant shore,
There's only so much your heart can endure,
You gave it your best forgive yourself,
You can't hold on anymore,
It's not as far as it might seem,
Now it's time to let go of old dreams,
Every heart for itself,
Swim to the nearest distant shore,
(verse 2)
He said for you he'd change,
The he let you down and watched you take the blame,
You're trapped between his lies and the great unknown,
You vowed you would not fail,
But this ain't success it's a living hell,
There's nothing left to lose,
You're already alone,
(chorus)
Swim to the nearest distant shore,
There's only so much your heart can endure,
You gave it your best forgive yourself,
You can't hold on anymore,
It's not as far as it might seem,
Now it's time to let go of old dreams,
Every heart for itself,
Swim to the nearest distant shore,
Every heart for itself swim,
To the nearest distant shore
