Swimming Upstream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sun disapeared right before my eyes
My heart turned and walked away
I gave you
the keys to an open door and you threw them right back at me
Once again I'm alone with a pain in my chest so sad so sad so long
And the clouds start to gather here comes
the rain
You meant more then you can know
I can't say I miss you your always around
I can't say I love you cause you cut me down
I'm wounded and hurt and that's my fault
But I made my decision with my back to the wall
And I gotta move on from here
I've done all that I can do
Yeah I gotta move on from here
I've been swimming upstream for you
A storm passes by I can't explain
It's hard to be next to you
Is it my face or is it everything
That your not attracted to
I'm so lost and confused when I look at you
Your rise your lips so soft
And then when you see me I turn away
Cause I know that I turn you off
I can't say I miss you your always around
I can't say I love you cause you cut me down
I'm wounded and hurt and that's my fault
But I made my decision with my back to the wall
And I gotta move on from here
I've done all that I can do
Yeah I gotta move on from here
I've been swimming upstream for you...
I've been swimming upstream for you
I've been swimming upstream for you
