Treading Water - Nashville Cast, Rainee Blake

You said it was gonna be different this time

I was on the road, I swore I’d find

Was gonna be the girl that always knew I’d be

But I burned too hot, too fast, too bright

A falling star bound to lose its shine

I’m right back where I said I wouldn’t be

Stick around then you will see

I’m just treading water

Trying not to drown

While you’re standing on the edge

With both feet on the ground

If you only knew

How far you’d have to fall

Then baby you wouldn’t want me at all

Took my hand, said it’s okay

We’re all messed up in our own way

There’s room enough for two here in the dark

But I don’t think you really get

How often I’m a losing bet

I’m gonna wreck it all and watch it fall apart

Stick around and you will see

I’m just treading water

Trying not to drown

While you’re standing on the edge

With both feet on the ground

If you only knew

How far you’d have to fall

Then baby you wouldn’t want me at all
