Throw me overboard to lighten your load
Let me drown so you can take the high road
Throw me overboard 'cause you're playing your role
Easier to place the blame instead of fixing the hole

And you can tell me it was a necessity
It was out of your hands that I'll never understand
And you can tell me it was an emergency
That you didn't have a voice but I know it was your choice

And we all have things we can live without
And that makes me yours Jettison

Throw me overboard when the water's getting rough
When the going gets too tough I guess you've just had enough
Throw me overboard but you said you wouldn't bail
When the weather's getting bad, it's just easier to sail

And you could say that you that you don't know what to do
That you'd stay if you could but we know you never would

That you'd wanna work through it but we know you can't commit

And we all have things we can live without
And that makes me yours Jettison

When you don't care enough to stick around
When you're just trying to search for higher ground
You're afraid, dropping anchor makes you fall apart
You've got it made, the end of me becomes your brand new start

And we all have things we can live without
And that makes me yours Jettison

Throw me overboard to help you stay afloat
You will risk the crew as long as you can save the boat
Throw me overboard 'cause you're playing your role
Easier to place the blame

Throw me overboard to lighten your load
Let me drown so you can take the high road
Throw me overboard 'cause you're playing your role
