you watched me sinking down towards you
looking up through the deepest, darkest waters you had ever seen
and i watched you drowning
i tried to reach my hand to touch you,
but i could not feel a thing
it felt like i was holding onto what it was that gave me pain
so i let go and i watched you
as you began to sink again
and i watched your body drain of its soul, spirit, and pain
and i did not even bother pulling you out of the water
that was slowly turning crimson
and of love you'd never mention again...
so now i live a lonely life without you
can't even remember your name
lying in a cold, dark room
alone, i'm crying out again
just give me love or give me drugs
not sleeping nights alone in pubs
oh, won't you please take my home
i'm gathering my things today
oh, won't you please take me away
i am losing desire to stay
and every day i'm putting faith
in some lost and forgotten place
and i know where it is floating
i am going there today
to live in a lonely place that exists far away...
