Watching You Drown


It's been hard watching you drown
You do it so quietly - I never heard a sound
I reach out my arm for you to grab - c'mon grab it
I dive in to find you, but you just keep going down, down, down, down
Something gripped you from below
Taken in by the undertow
In the depths of the dark water, I wait for you to float, stir
Tell me it's all a terrible mistake,
Arrive towards light through the water's blur
I see my face in the rear view mirror
I don't recognize it anymore
All my prayers must have been answered
I don't recognize it anymore
I see my face driving away from you
I made a grand plan
Wrote it on a piece of paper
I got you your prescription, it's from the doctor
You said don't push me; just lay it on the table
And when I had to leave, I became another person in this world you would
blame
I see my face in the rear view mirror
I don't recognize it anymore
All my prayers must have been answered
I don't recognize it anymore
I see my face driving away from you
I see my face driving away from you
It's been hard watching you burn
