Swimming Upstream Lyrics
The sun disappeared right before my eyes
My heart turned and walked away
I gave you the keys to an open door
And you threw them right back at me
Once again I�m alone with a pain in my chest
So sad, so sad, so lost
The clouds stack together, here comes the rain
You�ve met more then you could know
I can�t say I miss you, you�re always around
I can�t say I love you cause you cut me down
I�m wounded and hurt and that�s my fault
But I made my decision with my back to the wall
And I gotta move on from here
I�ve done all that I can do
Yeah I gotta move on from here
I�ve been swimming upstream for you
As time passes by I can�t explain
It�s hard to be next to you
Is it my face or is it everything
That you�re not attracted to
I�m so lost and confused when I look at you
You rise your lips so soft
And then when you see me I turn away
Cause I know that I turn you off
I can�t say I miss you, you�re always around
I can�t say I love you cause you�ve cut me down
I�m wounded and hurt and that�s my fault
But I made my decision with my back to the wall
And I gotta move on from here
I�ve done all that I can do
Yeah I gotta move on from here
I�ve been swimming upstream for you
I�ve been swimming upstream for you..(swimming upstream for you)
I�ve been swimming upstream for you..(swimming upstream for you)
Yeah, I�ve been swimming upstream for you
I�ve been swimming upstream for you
My heart turned and walked away
I gave you the keys to an open door
And you threw them right back at me
So sad, so sad, so lost
The clouds stack together, here comes the rain
You�ve met more then you could know
I can�t say I love you cause you cut me down
I�m wounded and hurt and that�s my fault
But I made my decision with my back to the wall
I�ve done all that I can do
Yeah I gotta move on from here
I�ve been swimming upstream for you
It�s hard to be next to you
Is it my face or is it everything
That you�re not attracted to
You rise your lips so soft
And then when you see me I turn away
Cause I know that I turn you off
I can�t say I love you cause you�ve cut me down
I�m wounded and hurt and that�s my fault
But I made my decision with my back to the wall
I�ve done all that I can do
Yeah I gotta move on from here
I�ve been swimming upstream for you
I�ve been swimming upstream for you..(swimming upstream for you)
Yeah, I�ve been swimming upstream for you
I�ve been swimming upstream for you

Its about fighting to keep together an abusive realationship, or a relationship where things just arent working out.
Yup: A relationship that isn't working. Good song.
Damn. This song hurts. The song is describing how he views someone he loves. He looks at them, has been fighting to get them, and they still hurt him.
'I can't say I miss you, you're always around I can't say I love you cause you've cut me down I'm wounded and hurt and that's my fault But I made my decision with my back to the wall
And I gotta move on from here I've done all that I can do Yeah I gotta move on from here I've been swimming upstream for you'
This song is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Not as strong of a finnish as on their last album, but an excellent song. One of their best
This song makes my heart ache every time I hear it.
