Permission

You could ask me to drown, I would cry a river now

I'm scared to sink but I'd risk it all to swim

Oh you're waters they run deep, filled with endless jealousy

In your oceans I have learned to breathe

Soon you realise, all the secrets all the lies

Catch up to you till you can barely speak

But there's nothing you could do that would make me question you

I'm built for your abuse don't you see

It's easier to ask forgiveness when you break my heart

And if you'd only asked for my permission you'd have had it from the start

Had it, had it from the start
