Bodies of Water Lyrics
The softest lips
The sharpest tongue
Take a deep breath
Dust in my lungs
I have to, have to, have to let go of total control
For what do, what do, what do I know
I have to, have to, have to let go of total control
Take it back
You can't take it back
Holiest men
Criminal den
Watering hole
It's volatile
I have to, have to, have to let go of total control
For what do, what do, what do I know
I have to, have to, have to let go of total control
Take it back
You can't take it back
You can't take it back
I could bet that we'll fail
I can be proven right
By witholding my love
I can guarantee night
I could bet that we'll fail
I can be proven right
By withholding my love
You will shrivel and die
I'm from there
Cause that is where
They fell in love
I have to, have to, have to let go of total control
For what do, what do, what do I know
I have to, have to, have to let go of total control
Take it back
You can't take it back
You can't take it back
The sharpest tongue
Take a deep breath
Dust in my lungs
For what do, what do, what do I know
I have to, have to, have to let go of total control
Take it back
You can't take it back
Criminal den
Watering hole
It's volatile
For what do, what do, what do I know
I have to, have to, have to let go of total control
Take it back
You can't take it back
You can't take it back
I can be proven right
By witholding my love
I can guarantee night
I can be proven right
By withholding my love
You will shrivel and die
Cause that is where
They fell in love
For what do, what do, what do I know
I have to, have to, have to let go of total control
Take it back
You can't take it back
You can't take it back

It may be me internalizing, but it sounds like a confession of deliberately crashing a relationship out of spite.
She said/did something he could not overlook (can't take it back) So he bets the relationship will fail. And he will make that happen be withholding his love. This becomes the "body of water" (distance) between them.
