My eyes are always opened, but opened too late.

Through the fog I can't see my feet.
Along the path I stumble, but I hate it when I fall
So I throw my arms out and with fingers like claws
I cut into you and I tear you down with me.
And I still fall
And I wonder how I got here
Somehow still alone
With no breath in my lungs
To keep me afloat
And I sink, and you are there at the bottom but there is no sense in pointing fingers anymore because we are both drowning
And we can't save each other until we save ourselves.

I won't take the blame, but I think I did my part in killing us
It wasn't just me who forgot to breathe, but I was falling in the first place
So here we are on the bottom.
I can see the light in your eyes
Or the light from the surface
We are so close
Just take my hand, if you can trust it again
Trust me again
And together we can swim to the top
And you will breathe
So I can breathe
And we will walk more carefully next time.

Or better yet, let's not go this way again.
