Lyrics The Lesson - System Syn

It was January and you were melting
While the rainfall turned to snow
And you were thinking of the end
All the reasons you couldn't let me in
Sometimes it's easier to sever the connection
Burn a bridge to help them believe
It's not your fault
She's crying at an empty page
Of words you couldn't form
All the bitterness and misplaced rage

She said the water's fine
Won't you breathe it in with me
That weight you feel
It will leave with me
If you let it go
If you let me go
No one will remember

And you can't make it on your own
But you don't want anyone else
So you'll go down with this sinking ship
And let the ocean fill your lungs

She said the water's fine
Won't you breathe it in with me
That weight you feel
It will leave with me
If you let it go
If you let me go
No one will remember

It was January and you were filling chambers
In case it took more then one
But you know it never does
It only ever takes one shot
And you took it

In the dead of winter you were melting
While the rainfall turned to snow
And you were teaching us a lesson
About how easily we could let go

She said the water's fine
Won't you breathe it in with me
That weight you feel
It will leave with me
If you let it go
If you let me go
No one will remember
