Phonics Failed Me

All the books I never finished and all the songs I skip
Everything I try to hold on but I let it slip away

Now I say sorry like my mother
I try to swim, I'm treading water
Now I say sorry like my mother
I try to swim, I'm treading water

And it takes more to put me back together
And it takes more than it does to fall apart
And it takes more to put me back together
And it takes more than it does to fall apart
And to finish what I start

For every look I took for granted and every meal I skipped
For everything I tried to hold on but I'm losing grip

Now I say sorry like my mother
I try to swim, I'm treading water
Now I say sorry like my mother
I try to swim, I'm treading water

For every book I never finished and every song I skipped
