"Rope" lyrics

I used to know your face
Could trace it
Every line we made
Do you blame me a little?
The sour taste of stolen dreams
The winter's got the best of me, yeah
When did I get so weak?
I know you blame me a little

Face down 'til you come around
But you don't, so I won't
Bleed out to relieve your drought
You'll grow while I still choke
Somehow, I surfaced
Got caught in the current
Begged you for the rope
You wrapped around my throat

You wrapped around my throat

How has it come to this?
Excuses
Tied up like tourniquets
Now I blame you a little
The waters rise over my head
I learn to swim my way through them
Drown me, I'm back again
Hate that I blame you a little

Face down 'til you come around
But you don't, so I won't
Bleed out to relieve your drought
You'll grow while I still choke
Somehow, I surfaced
Got caught in the current
Begged you for the rope
You wrapped around my throat

And you play the starving man so well
You should take your suffering somewhere else
'Cause I can't save you from your pain
When it's all you crave

Face down 'til you come around
But you don't, so I won't
Bleed out to relieve your drought
You'll grow while I still choke
Somehow, I surfaced
Got caught in the current
Begged you for the rope
You wrapped around my throat
