Drown
alyssa & james Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing agreement or emphasis

Hennessy, takin' me home, oh
Alcohol is a temporary escape for me

Plain to see, you ain't good for me, no, no
It’s clear that you are not a positive influence in my life

I ain't no Romeo
I am not a hopeless romantic

I ain't no Juliet
I am not waiting for my perfect match

I make my bed for me, just me
I prioritize myself and my own needs

This ain't no rodeo
Life is not a game, it’s serious

I'm done with messin' up
I am tired of making mistakes

I got so much to see, baby, yeah
I still have a lot to experience and explore in life

Shiver and wiggle
Being nervous and restless

Let me cover up my ankles
I am protecting myself from potential harm

Cause you can't come up to em
You cannot hurt me anymore

I can do this solo dolo
I can handle this on my own

Ain't been a hoe before, but I could be one in a photo
I have never been promiscuous before, but I might portray that in a picture

No need for that, though
But I do not have to do that to prove anything

I'll be alone here with my shadows
I am content with being alone and facing my own insecurities

I ain't never had no hope when things really mattered
I have never had faith in myself when it truly counted

Left me on my own, take my brain, make it splatter
I was abandoned and left to deal with the mental turmoil myself

On the doorstep, on the table, in the shower
I cannot escape these thoughts in any aspect of my life

I let my thoughts creep, some nice, but gettin' louder
My thoughts are consuming me, some good, but mostly negative

Whether you're me or you
Regardless of who you are

Whether you know my pain
Whether you understand what I am going through

Whether you swim in circles seeking someone's mental game
Whether you are also searching for someone to provide comfort and validation

This is my holy part
My mind is sacred and personal

This is my mind unfiltered
I am expressing myself openly and honestly

Yeah, I ain't got no water so imma drown in this
I do not have any support, so I am struggling to cope

Let me speak it to the world before I fall apart
I want to express myself before I completely break down

I'm in a prison cell, I can't move, it's gettin' dark and heavy
My mental state is like being trapped in a cell and it is weighing on me heavily

So much love is surrounding me
There are people who love and care for me

All these people look down on me
I feel judged and belittled by the people around me

That is not a good sound for me
It hurts me to hear that

You barely got your feet up off the ground
You are not in a position to judge me

You're hearing things
You are not understanding the situation

Let me hold you down
Let me be there for you

Love is found in letting go
Love is about accepting someone and letting them be who they are

What more is there to it
It is that simple

You can't put it in music
Love cannot be fully explained or contained in a song

Your fucked up mind just abuses it
Your own issues are causing you to hurt those you love

I don't mind to be intrusive
I do not mind being involved in your life

Cause I've been living my life loosely
I have been living carelessly and without much direction

But I can't stand to see you choosing
I cannot handle you making destructive choices

The only path that'll take you back
The only option that will lead to more pain and struggles

Relapse if you're using it
You will fall back into old habits if you continue down this path
