You look like you're drowning I told her
She looks like she'd walked through a thousand rainstorms
and she still couldn't find her way
She said "my heart hurts"
and when I heard the words spill from her pale lips
I could finally see; that girl that looks like she's drowning
that girl is me.
So I took a breath and I said in a whisper
"I'm no longer treading water"
