Lyrics
There's ice on the ground
The snow, soon coming down,
Doesn't matter much
'Cause you're not around
With one conversation the realization
That oil and water don't stay mixed for long
But don't take the credit
Don't take the blame
Don't be proud don't be ashamed
It's your skull I've got to get this through
It's got nothing to do with you
It's out of your hands if it was ever in them
I don't finish things only dare to begin them
But don't be sad it's just the past
I thought I told you it wouldn't last
It's your skull I've got to get this through
It's got nothing to do with you
I'm coming back again
The fish going in for one more swim
If I forget to breathe
Let me sink to the bottom and figure out the mess I'm in
But don't take the credit
Don't take the blame
Don't be proud don't be ashamed
It's your skull I've got to get this through
It's got nothing to do with you
Am I getting through to you?
