If we could play pretend
And not go through this again
I would tell you pretty lies
And you'd only be mine

I've been drowning for so long
And finally I'm dead in the water

If only you'd open your eyes
Do you know what you'd find?
We'll smile through our tears
And be able to overcome fears

I'm dead in the water

Everytime you come to save me
You leave me, so helplessly
So I'll watch you swim away
You can save me another day

I'm dead in the water,
Drowning in the sea
I'm dead in the water
Nobody could save me
I'm dead in the water
