Daggers - Can't Swim

We looked through photos of the past

And we come to terms with

How good we all had it back then

As if we hadn’t noticed

Countless years of countless fights

Always left me hanging on

We cut them up and threw them out to forget

If you blame your past for everything

The past is all you’ll ever be

I’ll show you what it’s like to be alone

It’s all I’ve ever known

My oldest friend, don’t leave me

Please don’t leave me hanging on

I drive into the town we left

And I come to notice

It chewed us up and spat us out

And made us lose our focus

Countless years of countless fights

Where I held on way too long

These are the cards that we were dealt to forget

If you blame your past for everything

I swear it’s all you’ll ever be

I’ll show you what it’s like to be alone

It’s all I’ve ever known

My oldest friend, don’t leave me

Please don’t leave me hanging on

Don’t leave me

Please don’t leave me hanging on

Deserving more but I keep giving you less

I know it’s hard and I keep causing you stress

It’s slowing us all down

We’re swallowed by this town

Throwing dice behind the alley at night

To try and pay the rent but nothing goes right

It’s slowing us all down

We’re swallowed by this town

I blame the past for everything I am

I can’t hide it

I’ll show you what it’s like to be alone

It’s all I’ve ever known

My oldest friend

Please don’t

Please don’t leave me hanging on

Oh no, please don’t

Please don’t leave me hanging
