I am floating out on a sea
On a sea of lost thought
Wondering where it's taking me
Away from the battles I fought
I never learnt to swim away
To escape the troubles following
I was always trying to stay
But my pride I kept swallowing
I am forever sinking
Into deep water
It's too late for thinking
I'm drowning in deep water
Looking at my soul so empty
I wonder where it all went
It used to be be full and plenty
Now it is all spent
Being lonely is a curse
Which only you can see
It is when it starts getting worse
That you started drowning in misery
I am forever sinking
Into deep water
It's too late for thinking
I'm drowning in deep water
I'm floating away to God knows where
Swallowed up by the waves of tears
Taken far away on my saddened despair
Never going to be found for years
Now I can feel myself being dragged down
I begin to sink under all the weight
Destinied to be lost and to drown
Because sometimes it is far too late
I am forever sinking
Into deep water
It's too late for thinking
I'm drowning in deep water
