I Don’t Float Doug Millaway ©2025

I capsized —
Might’ve drowned last night,
The world looks darker than it did before.

I realized —
Jumpin' was a one-way ride,
Thought I was unsinkable… but I don't float.

I thought love was the shore I'd reach,
Turns out it’s deeper than I believed,
Now I’m treading water, I'm lost below,
Can't find which way’s up… or where to go.

I'm dying —
Every breath feels like a fight,
And I keep goin' under every single time.

I surface —
Salt still burnin' in my eyes,
I don't think I'm ever gonna learn how to climb.

I thought love was the shore I'd reach,
Turns out it’s deeper than I believed,
Now I’m treading water, I'm lost below,
Can't find which way’s up… or where to go.

My mind’s not built to float,
It sinks into despair,
Even though my friends keep reaching’ out to me,
They can't drag me into the air.

I thought love was the shore I'd reach,
Turns out it’s deeper than I believed,
Now I’m treading water, I'm lost below,
Can't find which way’s up… or where to go.

The tide keeps pullin' at my pride,
But I’m learnin' how to breathe inside.
Maybe I’ll find some solid ground,
But I’m still lost, out here.

Jumpin' was a one-way ride,
Thought I was unsinkable… but I don't float.
