Lyrics
Intro
Mi feel yuh slip, mi feel it low
Mi hear yuh drift in yuh own echo
Mi call yuh name—yuh nah answer so
Mi watch di tide but mi cyaan let go (nah let go…)
Verse 1
Yuh eye dem full but yuh cyaan see mi
Yuh heart beat hard but yuh live empty
Mi bring light, but yuh choose di shade
Say “mi nuh ready fi be saved” (bwoy…)
Yuh seh “mi soon float way, baby” wid that sideways grin
Pre-Chorus
Mi nah ask yuh fi climb no ladder
Just swim lil'—keep head above wata
Mi deh yah, mi deh yah, mi right beside
But mi cyaan breathe if yuh nuh try
Chorus (x2)
Drownin’ slow in yuh own tide (yeahhh…)
Mi float but mi cyaan hold yuh pride
Yuh fight di hand dat bring peace inside
An’ mi cyaan bleed love one more time
Verse 2
Yuh tek di flask an’ yuh tek di rope
Yuh tek yuh pain fi some kinda hope
But hope nuh hang from no rafter beam
Mi tell yuh “live”... but yuh lost in dream
Mi beg yuh “stay”—yuh drift downstream
Bridge
Yuh hear mi callin’?
(Callin' mi name…)
Mi seh mi love yuh still
(Love yuh still, bwoy)
But yuh love di hurt more dan will
Weh yuh heart hide?
Chorus (x2)
Drownin’ slow in yuh own tide
Mi voice break wid every try
Mi seh mi cyaan pull yuh fi life
Mi seh mi cyaan be di sacrifice
Verse 3
Dem find yuh cold by di old back gate
Note in hand, an’ it too late
Yuh free now... but yuh nah wake
Outro
Mi still deh yah… (uh-huh)
Mi nah leave yuh name (nah, mi won’t)
Mi carry yuh song, but it nah feel di same
