I’m still drowning in the water of you
 My feet can’t find the bottom
 I don’t know what to do
 It’s like all we’ve done’s forgotten
  
 I know it was a blind step
 A leap into the dark
 When straight after we met
 I let you leave your mark
  
 Now I wonder what that time was worth
 Those years since spent together
 Now I give a wide berth
 To your dark and stormy weather
  
 I still don’t know you, I never did
 What is it that I was missing?
 Disappointment of which I’m never rid
 A deflating balloon, ever hissing
 
 When I reflect on you as a person
 You’re surrounded by a wall
 As I watched our relationship worsen
 You never heard my drowning call
  
 Was your silence about making a choice?
 Or were you incapable and you couldn’t?
 Could you not hear my pleading voice?
 Everything about you said you wouldn’t
  
 Did I simply miss you’re shallow?
 Because I was always looking for the deep
 Is it there was nothing to really know?
 The wasted years make me want to weep
