If you'd paid attention to the story
There's lessons that you keep ignoring
I'm hoping for your sake that you are right this time
Constant pressure from all angles
I can't afford to take this gamble
On something that can now define my life
Keep in mind, it's an uphill battle
I force myself to keep my mouth shut
Even if I might just lose my mind

The pain is relative
What matters is how you deal with it
If there's no compromise
I can't save you if you keep jumping in
The pain is relative
What matters is how you deal with it
I won't be wrong this time
I can't save you, so learn to swim

I can hear you speculatе
From across the room, you celebratе
I can't relate to this fucked up place and time
And if you thought just for one second
I'd take these jabs and not deflect them
Not used to walking on such very thin ice
I feel so incomplete sometimes
I can't compete with all your lies
I'll just pull up a chair
To watch it all come down

The pain is relative
What matters is how you deal with it
If there's no compromise
I can't save you if you keep jumping in
The pain is relative
What matters is how you deal with it
I won't be wrong this time
I can't save you, so learn to swim

You will finally learn when your heart stops
When your lungs fail
When your back breaks from the weight of it all
You're about to see that the truth hurts
That the wrong road can lead you
To the end of it all

The pain is relative
What matters is how you deal with it
If there's no compromise
I can't save you if you keep jumping in
The pain is relative
What matters is how you deal with it
I won't be wrong this time
I can't save you if you keep jumping in

You will finally learn when your heart stops
When your lungs fail
When your back breaks from the weight of it all
You're about to see that the truth hurts
I can't save you if you keep jumping in

The pain is relative
What matters is how you deal with it
I won't be wrong this time
I can't save you, so learn to swim
