Lyrics
I said that I was fine
Expressing that they claimed to be okay
But I was too damn cold to cry
Feeling emotionally numb or detached
So I went inside and I closed my ears
Seeking isolation to avoid hearing hurtful things
So I could hear what you've been saying for years
Attempting to understand long-standing messages or criticisms
Call me a masochist. I'll swim like it's fatal
Describing willingness to endure pain, possibly self-inflicted
Knowing it's the last time makes the Atlantic painful
Feeling the intense pain of knowing something is ending
I can't say bye today. Let me tread water
Resisting saying goodbye, wanting to linger in the present
'Cause if it's all the same to you
Preferring a slower, less abrupt emotional turmoil
I'd rather drown a little slower while we can
Choosing a gradual emotional descent instead of sudden pain
And it hurts to be the last
Feeling the pain of being the last to know about departure
To hear that you're not planning on coming back
Realizing someone won't return, causing emotional distress
You used to make me smile
Reflecting on happier times with the person
So I'll bite down
Metaphorically enduring pain until the end comes
'Till the curtain calls without a doubt
Being prepared for the final moments without uncertainty
Call me a masochist. I'll swim like it's fatal
Reiterating readiness to endure pain, even if self-destructive
Knowing it's the last time makes the Atlantic painful
Re-experiencing the agony of finality in a significant event
I can't say bye today. Let me tread water
Insisting on delaying goodbyes to extend the present moment
'Cause if it's all the same to you
Opting for a slower emotional decline instead of abruptness
I'd rather drown a little slower while we can
Choosing a gradual emotional descent instead of sudden pain (repeated sentiment)
Slow down when you leave
Asking the departing person to slow down their departure
There's no need to rush through the rest of the week
Encouraging a slower pace in leaving to savor remaining time
Slow down when you go
Asking for a gradual departure instead of an abrupt exit
With each hour it gets harder to breathe
Expressing increasing difficulty in coping with the departure
Call me a masochist. I'll swim like it's fatal
Reiterating readiness to endure pain, even if self-destructive (repeated sentiment)
Knowing it's the last time makes the Atlantic painful
Re-experiencing the agony of finality in a significant event (repeated sentiment)
I can't say bye today. Let me tread water
Insisting on delaying goodbyes to extend the present moment (repeated sentiment)
'Cause if it's all the same to you
Opting for a slower emotional decline instead of abruptness (repeated sentiment)
I'd rather drown a little slower while we can
Choosing a gradual emotional descent instead of sudden pain (repeated sentiment)
