[Verse 1] I learned to smile on cue Shake hands, say how do you do Every day I wore my Sunday best Ever on trial, always a test I read many lines on my phone Feels like I’m never alone Anyone asks I am doing just fine Hold my breath, but I never cry [Pre-Chorus] I've been treading water Cause I jumped in again If you reach out to touch I will always let you go [Chorus] I'm still swimming Still swimming I keep sinking, then I rise I'm still swimming Still swimming Love keeps pulling at my sides (Still swimming) [Verse 2] I build dams around me It’s just another boundary If I let you into my little pool In the reflection, who is the fool I wore my heart behind the image I feel like I’m trapped in a cage Any effort is just part of the pose I change my position if you get too close [Pre-Chorus] I've been treading water Cause I jumped in again If you reach out to touch I will always let you go [Chorus] I'm still swimming Still swimming I keep sinking, then I rise I'm still swimming Still swimming Love keeps pulling at my sides (Still swimming) [Bridge] An old love once gave truth to me I’m without a life boat, drifting at sea Don't call it going down I'm trying to stay afloat here Learning how to stay around [Pre-Chorus] I've been treading water Cause I jumped in again If you reach out to touch I will always let you go [Final Chorus] I'm still swimming Still swimming I keep sinking, then I rise I'm still swimming Still swimming Love keeps pulling at my sides I am in and out with the tide Worn down like the driftwood I would stay if I could
