I am drowning in my own sorrow,
I see you in the distance on a big boat alone,
You wave me over with a wide smile,
I swim over as fast as I can,
I am out of breathe when I get to your boat,
I look up at you with a sad smile hoping you'll save me,
Sometimes as I'm reaching for your hand you smile then it disappears and you turn around and start the engine leaving me stranded,
Other times you smile down at me and reach out your hand and grasp mine and start pulling me up then stop, let go, shake your head and leave,
I never get on your boat, you have always left my stranded with me feelings and myself.
