© 2026 Molly Bern Treading Water [Verse 1] Deflation of my ego, so where do we go? Ten years of searching, with nothing to show I gave you the keys to a house I never built Then swept up every night beneath all the guilt [Verse 2] I gave you my youth, I spent every dime A shoebox of receipts for all that borrowed time You were who I needed, I thought I'd be okay I pleaded at the doorway, you looked away [Chorus] Night after night, fight after fight Who lost? Who won? Who cares? I’m done. You were supposed to be my shore I’m treading water, can’t any more [Verse 3] I’m lonely, exhausted, and so damn sad Faucet on, you can’t hear I’m fucking mad Drop the resentment, drop the regrets I know I loved you once, but I digress [Verse 4] I gave up drinking, but I’m still sinking Below the depths where you find me shrinking No bottle to hold me, no soothing now I’m stuck right here and I don’t know how [Chorus] Night after night, fight after fight Who lost? Who won? Who cares? I’m done. You were supposed to be my shore I’m treading water, can’t take more [Bridge] I look back down memory lane, And all I can think is how insane, How could I ever take you in When I'd not loved myself to begin? I reminisce, then clench my fists, My jaw locks tight, my heart resists, Where did I go? Where have I been? [Full band slams back in] I can't get back in. [Final Chorus] Night after night, fight after fight Who lost? Who won? Who cares? I’m done. You were supposed to be my shore It can’t be that bad, so why am I mad?
