[Verse 1] You stand like a lighthouse strong in the storm We drift in the dark, just trying to stay warm Clinging to rafts made of whispers and hope Every word from your mouth is the only way we float But the closer we drift, the brighter you burn Your light cuts right through us, and shadows return [Chorus] That's not me, that's not me on the water below Why do I see a monster wherever I go? I swear you're pushing me, I feel it in my bones But you're still shining… and I'm sinking alone [Verse 2] I stare at the ripples, convinced that it's true The dark shape below me looks nothing like you I curse at the water, I curse at the glow Too scared to look up, ‘cause I already know [Bridge] And the hate that I'm holding, it's the only thing real It kicks like an anchor and it drags at my keel You never moved an inch, you just stayed where you were But I'm the one sinking… and blaming the blur [Chorus] That's not me, that's not me on the water below Why do I see a monster wherever I go? I swear you're pushing me, I feel it in my bones But you're still shining… and I'm sinking alone [Final Chorus] That's not me, that's not me, why can't I see? Every scream in the dark is still aimed back at me You were never the storm, you were never the tide I was drowning in shadows… with you right by my side Turn around turn around I'm begging you, just turn around That's not me, that's not me on the water below Why do I see a monster wherever I go?
