lyrics

You're never a good thing. A saviour, a crutch.
But only despised when I've had too much.
Still, I'm a slave to you.

Plans can be made but they don't mean a lot.
A promise that's broken's not a promise at all.
Still, I'm a slave to you.

You were my rock, my light in the mist.
You kept me from drifting into the abyss.
But now you drag me down like an anchor.

I know this can't go on. I know this must end.
I know it's unwise to keep you as a friend.
Still, I'm a slave to you.

You were my rock, my light in the mist.
You kept me from drifting into the abyss.
But now you drag me down like an anchor.

The ship sails on.
Leaves me gasping, leaves me cold,
As I sink below.
In the depths I'm enthralled.
Blacking out until the morning
When I wash ashore.
But all is not lost.
I'll fight. I'll go on.
I'll endure.

You were my rock, my light in the mist.
You kept me from drifting into the abyss.
But now you drag me down like an anchor.

You were my rock, my light in the mist.
You kept me from drifting into the abyss.
But now you drag me down like an anchor.

The ship sails on.
Leaves me gasping, leaves me cold,
As I sink below.
In the depths I'm enthralled.
Blacking out until the morning
When I wash ashore.
Again, I'll swear you off.
But I, I can't talk.
I'm yours.
