Shout Loud (Not Drowning) Lyrics

Don't you dare pretend to set me free,
It's not too hard to see a lie with eyes like these.
And stop trying to fill me up with vanity.
Don't you dare beg me not to leave,
Cause I can't ever stay in one place, that's not me.
Contrary to belief,
I'm not drowning, I am free.
I'm not drowning, I am free.
How loud do I have to shout this out
So I can get the message across?
Oh, just my luck that you can hear me now,
Now that all my words are lost.
I wouldn't dare try to hide it anymore,
This lifestyle ain't what I'm looking for.
Call me crazy, but at least I have a bit of a fucking clue.
I'll build you up, and then I'll tear you down,
It's not on purpose, just the way I get around.
Call me crazy, but at least I have a bit of a fucking clue.
How loud do I have to shout this out
So I can get the message across?
Oh, just my luck that you can not hear me now,
Now that these words ain't no longer lost.
So here's an idea, why don't you leave me be?
Somewhere far away, just bring me my guitar.
Because a savior's just not what I need,
Just some confidence and I should go pretty far.
Don't you dare pretend to set me free,
It's not too hard to see a lie with eyes like these.
Contrary to belief,
I'm not drowning, I am free.
I'm not drowning, I am free, yeah oh
How loud do I have to shout this out
So I can get the message across?
Oh, just my luck that you can not hear me now,
Now that these words ain't no longer lost.
So here's an idea, why don't you leave me be?
Somewhere far away, just bring me my guitar.
Because a savior just ain't what I need.
Just some confidence, just some confidence, just some confidence,
Where's my confidence?
Where's my confidence?
I'm not drowning, I'm not drowning, oh.
I'm not drowning, I'm not drowning.
