My Queen - Can't Swim

Pull the shade and trap the light in

Illuminate the room so I can see your face

I need to hear it in person

I need to know it was worth it

Took the risk and came on over

Keeping count of everything I didn’t say

Heard your breathing get lower

The room was getting smaller as you

Threw your arms around me way too fast

(What did it really mean?)

And questioned if I thought it all would last

(Will it all last?)

Blocking out our future with my past

(What does it really mean?)

If ignorance is bliss, then why’d you ask

(Why'd you ask?)

If it still haunts me?

It still haunts me

Hung the pictures that you painted

Hallucinations of a love that was never there

I felt you start getting nervous

You put a gloss on the surface of my

Favorite thing you ever drew

You said it needed more

Shaded in the grays

And then you hung it on your door

If nothing’s ever finished it ends up on the floor

Just like we did

Just like we did

Threw your arms around me way too fast

(What did it really mean?)

And questioned if I thought it all would last

(Will it all last?)

Blocking out our future with my past

(What does it really mean?)

If ignorance is bliss, then why’d you ask

(Why'd you ask?)

If it still haunts me?

It still haunts me

I think about it when I’m falling asleep

All the parts of you that I couldn’t keep

My nightmares torment me much worse

The longer you’re not here

I keep my energy the lowest I can

And try and think about where all this began

For heaven’s sake could I forget

That you found someone new

I hope to god you’re haunted by this, too

Threw your arms around me way too fast

(What did it really mean?)

And questioned if I thought it all would last

(Will it all last?)

Blocking out our future with my past

If ignorance is bliss, then why’d you ask?

It still haunts me

You haunt me

You haunt me
