That Aint No Way To Swim

Описание: You don’t leave a shell cracked open
Don’t laugh when the tide pulls hard
You don’t cut the line at midnight
And call it mercy from the dark

You don’t say “we’re done” in passing
Like it’s nothing, like it’s clean
You don’t walk away smiling
When you know what this has been

That ain’t no way to swim
Not after all this brine
You don’t sink a heart for sport
Then say the fault is mine

That ain’t no way to swim
Not with the moon this low
You don’t drop a lobster bleeding
Then act like you didn’t know

I stood here sideways waiting
Claws down, trying not to fight
You turned your back on the undertow
Said “I’m fine,” then vanished into night

I’ve been hauled and I’ve been boiled
I know pain when it comes
But this one cuts colder
’Cause I thought you were the one

That ain’t no way to swim
Not after all this time
You don’t leave a shell wide open
And call it crossing lines

That ain’t no way to swim
You don’t just let me go
You don’t break a bond like this
Then say “that’s how it goes”

I’ll heal slow in deeper water
Learn to breathe without your name
But don’t pretend this was gentle
Don’t pretend this wasn’t pain

That ain’t no way to swim
I’ll survive, but I know
That ain’t no way to swim
No… that ain’t no way to go
