jettison

throw me overboard

to lighten your load

let me drown

so you can take the high road

throw me overboard

'cause you're playing your role

easier to place the blame

instead of fixing the hole

and you can tell me

it was a necessity

it was out of your hands

that i'll never understand

and you can tell me

it was an emergency

that you didn't have a voice

but i know it was your choice

and we all have things we can live without

and that makes me your jettison

throw me overboard

when the water's getting rough

when the going gets too tough

i guess you've just had enough

throw me overboard

but you said you wouldn't bail

when the weather's getting bad

it's just easier to sail

and you could say that you

that you don't know what to do

that you'd stay if you could

but we know you never would

and you could that that you

that you always kinda knew

that you'd wanna work through it

but we know you can't commit

and we all have things we can live without

and that makes me your jettison

when you don't care enough to stick around

when you're just trying to search for higher ground

you're afraid

dropping anchor makes you fall apart

you've got it made

the end of me becomes your brand new start

and we all have things we can live without

and that makes me your jettison

throw me overboard

to help you stay afloat

you will risk the crew

as long as you can save the boat

throw me overboard

'cause you're playing your role

easier to place the blame
